PP gives out free contraceptive, but many blacks prefer the contraceptive, abortion. We have fewer blacks now than we would have if PP did not exist. Is that your selling point?But by all means let's paint all women with the same brush.
Buzz word: paint all women with the same brush.
Over 1.5 million abortions last year were performed, do you think that number consisted entirely of women living in poverty? Think about it for a minute; if that were true, PP would be out of business and those big salaries would be no more.
I'm pro-choice and believe that we each should be held accountable for our decisions and choices that we make; however, it doesn't mean that we should turn a blind eye to what's happening right under our noses.
Where did you get your numbers from?
Induced Abortion in the United States
• In 2011, 1.06 million abortions were performed, down 13% from 1.21 million in 2008.
• Forty-two percent of women obtaining abortions have incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level ($10,830 for a single woman with no children).[3]
• Twenty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions have incomes between 100–199% of the federal poverty level. * [3]
There are only about 1 million abortions per year and that is still declining because of contraception provided by the ACA.
69% of all women who obtain abortions have incomes below 2 times the poverty level.
So yes, 4 in 10 do live in poverty and 3 in 10 live barely above the poverty level.
Those abortions are paid for by donations to PP.
60% of PP's funding comes from donations and yes, that is who is paying for those abortions so that PP doesn't "go out of business".

If, as you say, abortions are paid in full by contributors who donate to PP, why then are subsidies given?
Who pays for PP's exorbitant staff salaries?
"69% of all women who obtain abortions have incomes below 2 times the poverty level." Do you find this statistic to be justifiable?
Where does sex education come into play?
My source was the respected nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute.
Anything that is provided via partisan sources like FauxNoise is less than credible IMO.
To answer your questions;
1. Taxpayer subsidies to PP are for the healthcare services such as papsmears and mammograms. Please note that it is illegal to use taxpayer funds for abortions. None of the taxpayer funds are used for abortions. That money comes exclusively from donations by supporters of PP.
2. Who says that they are "exorbitant"? FauxNoise? How do they reach that conclusion?
3. What needs to be justified about factual data. Go to Guttmacher and look at how they compile their data. It is all open and above board.

4. Sex education tells you about contraceptives. If you can't afford them the education is meaningless.
"many blacks prefer the contraceptive, abortion"
Why don't you try providing credible non partisan sources to back up your lies first?
