Now that PP has been stripped of federal funding, let's be certain that federal funds are not being funneled to "crisis pregnancy centers," which are non-medical ideological indoctrination centers that are applying for Title X grants. We taxpayers should not have to pay for them.
We've already had milllions wasted on "abstinence only education," which did nothing but subsidize the imposition of sectarian beliefs in our schools.
Does stripping federal funds affect their abortion services?
No
Since abortion services do not receive federal funds
Then you have no problem with it then, correct?
You are confusing the two. Since abortion services do not receive federal funding, as opposed to lying "pregnancy crisis centers," why would funding be taken away for PP's other services?
Because you can't reasonably be able to say X money goes here and X money goes there. Let me give you an example:
Let's say PP performs 10,000 mammograms a year, and provides 5,000 abortions a year. They say federal funds are used for the mammograms and private funding for the abortions. Okay, how do you prove such a thing? It's simply not possible. You can do it on paper of course, but you can't do it literally.
So Trump comes along and says no more funding to PP. Do you think it will only affect mammograms? If you do, you must be kidding yourself. The money they receive still gets divided by 2 mammograms for every abortion. In other words, PP abortions will not stop. They may do less of them, but not eliminate them. They will find other sources of funding for both procedures.
