Trump targets Planned Parenthood, family planning services with new abortion rule

[Common Sense]

Yes we are.

Maybe in your post fact reality. In the real world, you're not.

As long as PP is being supported with tax dollars, they are using those dollars to support everything they do. You can’t cover that with accounting gimmicks.

[Tahuyaman]

Taxpayer dollars should not go to these sort of things. People who believe in them should donate money to them.

But by using accounting gimmicks, they can claim no taxpayer money is used for performing abortions.

In other words, the facts say abortions aren't funded by tax dollars, but you believe in a conspiracy theory.

You're really good at twisting words today. PP does abortions. PP shouldn't be tax-payer funded.

PP performs abortions. PP takes millions of dollars from government. That money comes from the taxpayers.

No accounting tricks can cover that.

I'm not the one twisting words or misrepresenting the facts.

PP receives taxpayer money for procedures other than abortion. It receives the bulk of its taxpayer money from Medicaid when it bills Medicaid for individual procedures covered by the plan.

So so if a woman goes in for a STD screening, it is paid for by Medicaid. Abortion on the other hand is not covered. So no, taxpayer money doesn't fund abortions at PP.

There is no way to deny that taxpayer money is used to perform abortions by PP. They utilize accounting tricks to claim no taxpayer money is used for the purpose of performing abortions.


I don't know why you refuse to admit that. You must think that there's something immoral or otherwise wrong with using abortion as a means of birth control.


Man up. Support your views.

There's one way to end the argument. Eliminate all taxpayer funding for PP. Let those who support their operation in principle, support it financially as well. That's easy.

You're basing your claims on an assertion that they're using accounting tricks? So no facts, but a hunch you have?

Sounds convincing.
