It's odd how rwnjs are twisting the entire organization into an abortion issue. They do this with everything.
stevanoskiFeb 3, 2012
What do you care? PP is a very wealthy corporation who can stand the loss of one small contributor. Ever see what their ceo is paid?
anomaly100Feb 3, 2012
Since when do you worry over what CEOs get paid?
stevanoskiFeb 3, 2012
when do you not?

You're always shilling for them.

@anomaly - He's a good little tool. Falls right in line with what they tell him to.

You are always shilling for the leftist corporatist like Soros, the executives of Solyndra et cetra.

"PP is a very wealthy corporation who can stand the loss of one small contributor."
That really isn't the point.

I knew it wasn't. It was the fact that less babies were going to be killed to be used as trophies on your mantle dedicated to all the babies you've killed over the years.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Instead, they will be put on yours after they are killed fighting for oil.
How many died in Iraq? Thousands? Might need a bigger mantlepiece.

At least I gave them a chance to live and defend our country. I know you hate all who defend you but tough feces. They've already done it and instead you piss on them. Good job scab.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

"At least I gave them a chance to live and defend our country."
No, you did not.
Where were the WMDs that were the basis of selling that war? Where was Saddam's ability to strike the US? What about the VX, Sarin and yellowcake.
NONE OF IT SHOWED. NONE.
They defended nothing against nothing and guess what... they died for precisely that: nothing.
And your pathetic neocon attempt to use the "YOU HATE THE TROOPS!" bulls**t is laughable. You know who hates them? The people that send them to their deaths so that a handful of people see their stock portfolio grow fat.
So you can take your neocon tripe and shove it straight up your ass.

Here's a different picture for you to wrap your head around. The fetus is removed, disposed of . . . and that's it . . . no ritual or anything cuz it's just a bag of cells so ritual would be meaningless to a scientist. No victory dance or anything because it means nothing . . .
This "OH THE EVIL SCIENTIST" imagery pro-life people use is kinda goofy actually.

I killed 200,000,000 babies last night when I masturbated. They could have been soldiers.

One of them could have been called Kenny . . . oh my god . . . YOU KILLED KENNY! YOU BASTARD!
sabz5150Feb 5, 2012
What really cooks your noodle is that the people who say things like that are the exact same ones defending government handouts to oil companies and other huge corporations.
They are wealthy corporations, making 50+ billion per year in profits, yet those "wealthy corporations" would DIE with the loss of that "one small contributor".
Shows who is the puppet and who pulls the strings.

The federal funding money cannot be used for abortions by law. All other private funding CAN BE used for abortions with no restrictions. Abortion is legal. As in LEGAL. As in, no law can be passed by a state that trumps the federal law allowing it. In fact most restrictions passed by state legislators recently, are un Constitutional, and would be overturned in federal court if they were challenged. It's time that is put to the test, and these state legislatures be challenged for that reason. If nothing else it would cost them millions in state tax payer dollars to defend them.

FTA: " Taxpayer Funding - http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/PPFA/PP_Services.pdf
Planned Parenthood’s 2008-2009 annual report states that it received $363.2 million in "Government Grants and Contracts." (See page 29.) That’s about one-third of its total revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
However, not all of that money is from the federal government. Planned Parenthood’s government funding comes from two sources: the Title X Family Planning Program and Medicaid. About $70 million is Title X funding, Planned Parenthood spokesman Tait Sye told us. The rest — about $293 million — is Medicaid funding, which includes both federal and state money. "

Frankly, I don't really think it matters. I mean, is that going to change anyone's opinions? If it turns out that 99% of their services are abortions, are any PP supporters suddenly going to say, "I'm pro-choice, but that's going too far?" If it turns out they perform one abortion a year, are any pro-lifers going to say, "Well, I'm against abortions, but I guess PP isn't so bad after all?" It isn't a real issue, it's a talking point and nothing more. It can't be a debate if no one's on the fence.
laurahoustonFeb 4, 2012
That's a good question but I'm pretty sure the medical field calls a miscarrage/stillborn child an abortion when they have to use medicine/Doctors to clean out the uterus.
plus I read this "Because reporting of abortions is not mandatory, statistics are of varying reliability. The Centers For Disease Control (CDC)[32] regularly compiles these statistics." ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_United_States#Number_of_abortions_in_United_States
you can see the numbers are falling..(due to easy contraceptatives) and the number of abortation providers has remained static for many,many years.

answer to article question: not enough. we still facing an overpopulation epidemic. coat hangars and contraceptives for a greener tomorrow imo.
TheNoizeFeb 4, 2012
Not enough?
gkiltzFeb 5, 2012
Too MUCH!!!
odkinFeb 5, 2012
Counts aside, abortions are 30% of their revenue.
In 2010, they referred clients 841 times for adoption, vs performing 329,445 abortions. Further they DON'T DO MAMOGRAMS. Why is Komen giving them ANYTHING?
It's ridiculous to say the Federal contributions to Planned Parenthood does not go to abortion services. That's like pouring water into the shallow end of a pool and saying you're doing nothing to fill the deep end.
Why do ALL liberal institutions feel such entitlement to other people's money?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

there are no facts, ironically, at factcheck.org...shame
chassupFeb 4, 2012
If PP only performed 1 abortion a year, I would reject any government funding. Also, as long as Koman supports them, I refuse to support Koman.

Yet we pump billions of taxpayer dollars (read: YOUR MONEY) into companies whose sub-par working conditions and gross negligence have cost hundreds of lives.
Where's your outrage here?
tyhoFeb 5, 2012
I would imagine his outrage could be seen in an article that dealt with that topic. (duh)
At least most people can flee horrid working conditions. A fetus cannot flee the uterus of a child killer.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Money that is given for "other purposes" frees up money to be used for abortions. So federal money does in fact promote abortion.
chilidogsFeb 4, 2012
It doesn't work that way. There are two separate pools of money that cannot interact.
garbagedumpFeb 4, 2012
Suuuuuurrre there are. *wink* *wink*
