No one does.
Well....no one needs government funded slaughter of the unborn.
1. ...it may provide a level of comfort so very important to those without morality, principles, or the proper upbringing....
....what is the element that it provides?
Convenience....
.....The ability to carry on an 'if it feels good, do it' life style with no thought to who is hurt.
2. So...what the motivation for denying it government funding?
The law.
a. "Passed by Congress in 1976, the Hyde Amendment excludes abortion from the comprehensive health care services provided to low-income people by the federal government through Medicaid. "
Public Funding for Abortion
b. "Congress has made some exceptions to the funding ban, which have varied over the years. At present, the federal Medicaid program mandates abortion funding in cases of rape or incest, as well as when a pregnant woman's life is endangered..."
Ibid.
3. Let's deal with the so very overused idea of "cases of rape or incest."
The concept that there are "cases of rape or incest" is a chimera.
They really don't exist.....well, the fact is that 98.5% of abortion don't involve either abhorrent event.
The cases in which abortion is for rape, 1%; and .5% incest. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/psrh/full/3711005.pdf
4. Well....how about when a pregnant woman's life is endangered? In just 12% of the cases were there 'concerns' for the mother’s health, according to reports. (Ibid.)
The problem here is that there is no objective criterion for "the mother's health." Anyone who can prevail on her doctor to write a note including the word "health" can get in under that clause.
I'm bettin' that the 12% figure is rally more like that of rape or incest.
5. So......what is the reason for extinguishing the life of the incipient human baby in the vast.....vast.....majority of cases?
It is the very element that forms the pillar of Planned Parenthood's raison d'être...convenience.
Liberal governance is all about making it easy to do what one "feels like"....even to the extent of killing an about-to-be human baby.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence
Based on the above, from America's founding document, every patriotic American, every conservative, is pro-life.
Great when someone with her money and private doctors thinks women should be divested of their means to receive affordable care. but why would that matter to you?
planned parenthood provides
4.5 million tests and treatment for sexually transmitted infections
3.6 million contraception related services
935,573 cancer screenings including breast exams and Pap tests
1.1 million pregnancy tests and prenatal services
Planned Parenthood’s Services
Free clinics do more of those things than PP. With much less funding. PP is an abortion mill, dedicated to limiting the black reproduction rate. Why can't you libs accept that fact?
And there are far more of them than Planned Abortion clinics...
"Robison’sclaim that “women will be out of health care for reproductive causes” if Planned Parenthood no longer receives taxpayer dollars is also untrue.In fact, as Alliance Defending Freedom has documented,there are 13,540 health care clinicsthat could help women. (In contrast, Planned Parenthood has 665 clinics.)
If Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding is ended, that money will be redirected to health care clinics that serve women.
We can make sure women have access to health carewithout using taxpayer dollars to fund an organization responsible for around one out of every three abortions in the United States."
What Miss Tenn. Got Wrong About Planned Parenthood, Women’s Health
Again...."13,540 health care clinics that could help women. (In contrast, Planned Parenthood has 665 clinics.)"
There is no cause to deny PP the funding. That is the bottom line.
