Oh! You done gone and did it now. LOL!
3% is a BUNDLE of cash?
Let's just ignore all the good they do for that tiny 3% figure -
Planned Parenthood health centers focus on prevention: 76 percent of our clients receive services to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood services help prevent more than 584,000 unintended pregnancies each year.
Planned Parenthood provides nearly 770,000 Pap tests and nearly 750,000 breast exams each year, critical services in detecting cancer.
Planned Parenthood provides more than four million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
Three percent of all Planned Parenthood health services are abortion services.
Planned Parenthood affiliates provide educational programs to more than 1.1 million young people and adults each year.
Planned Parenthood has more than six million activists, supporters, and donors working for women's health and safety and our fundamental reproductive rights.
How many children have you adopted or sponsored lately dude? WE as a society have been doing a shit job taking care of women and children, and with this depression, services have been cut to the bone for these people. Just what do you suppose we do with 584,000 more babies PER year? Everybody's got their pants on fire now about how their tired of paying for this and that for the poor. Where's the money going to come from for food, shelter, clothing, daycare, education, etc ??
Also, have you taken a survey of women to proclaim it's mostly poor women getting abortions?? That absolutely shows that you have no clue who these women are. It goes across ALL classes, and ALL races. There are many women who have nothing, but would never think about giving up a child. There are many women who have everything and are just selfish and would rather carry a dog in their purse than a baby in a stroller. Some women have to many kids and can't handle another, some women have medical problems or genetic stuff going on, and some women never want any kids ever due to whatever their reasons are. ALL classes. ALL races.
The answer is absolutely prevention and education, but taking away organizations like PP would be detrimental to society. People are against sex education in schools, and don't want little Johnny or Janey learning about sex because that will only put idea in their heads. At least when they get to the age of reason, there are places like PP that will help educate and protect them. If you have never used their services, been pregnant, and you don't have a VAGINA, i suggest you just smile and nod from now on when the subject comes up.
Kthanx
I think it would be more beneficial for people to stop telling women what to do with their bodies, and maybe concentrate on things like pedophile priests and child sex slavery and save the kids that are already here!
