      Yes I would vote to cut public funding for Planned Parenthood. 

      They provide little actual health care and what they do provide is duplicated in other places.   The birth control they do provide doesn't work.  The other services just front as a means of getting women in the door.   The real money is in abortions. 

      They routinely build their facilities near schools and in poor neighborhoods.   

      They are committing genocide.

      Planned Parenthood employees routinely ignore glaring instances of child sexual abuse and child prostitution.

        I love it. When poor women have babies they can't afford to take care of and have to go on welfare, they're "irresponsible," and when they take advantage of one of the few services available to people with no insurance to get low cost birth control, they're contributing to the genocide of their own people. Either way, it's all their fault. Thumbs up! Heller himself couldn't have constructed a better Catch-22.

            95% of women (and men) who go to Planned Parenthood clinics are going for basic health care services, not abortion. These include:

               1. Birth control, obviously, including birth control pills, Depo shots, Plan B, IUD insertion/removal, and free condoms
               2. Pap smears
               3. Pregnancy testing and prenatal care
               4. Breast cancer screening
               5. STD testing, treatment, and prevention, including HPV vaccines
               6. Male infertility screening, testicular cancer screening, and erectile dysfunction services
               7. Menopause services
               8. General health care services like diabetes screening, flu vaccines, or anemia testing

            I've gone to them myself when my gynecologist didn't offer the type of IUD I wanted, and except for some problems getting through to make an appointment, I had a very good experience.

      Absolutely not. Abortion is legal. Planned Parenthood is where you go. Period. Where do you get birth control when you don't want to go to your family doctor? Planned Parenthood. Period.
      The only problem people have with it is that they WANT abortion illegal, which it isn't.

        The question isn't rather it's legal. It's rather you would vote to end funding. Something like this should not be funded. It's to controversial.

        I bet you would be against any kind of funding for Christian organizations even though they are legal.

    "population control agency." well that is my opinion that the population needs to be controlled. But it so anti-free, "I going to do whatever I want", that it is absolutely an unpopular perspective no matter the political stripe. From what I have heard, Planned Parenthood means the planning of birth by birth control: like condoms, pills, vasectomy etc. and planing when and how many children based on things like afford-ability, health and realistic considerations. Education.

    Given the financial state of many US states these days, we can't expect state programs to replace PP if the feds stop funding it.
    If there were comparable services -- the entire suite of services, not just abortions -- available and affordbable -- we would not need federal funding for PP.

    I think of the situation like a cross between dominoes and jenga.
    The repercussions of one action need to be thought through.

      The very name 'Planned Parenthood' is blasphemy. GOD will decide who will be parents and the only option that men and women have to affect the will of GOD is through self-denial - avoiding sin in all forms.

      Of course, then you look at the phony preachers from Swaggert to Jim & Tammy Baker to the gay evangelical clerics who have been caught recently. What a crock their piety is.

    "Allow me to point out possibly the largest hypocrisy in politics: The idea that it's OK to use public funds so men can get it up and have sex, but it's not fair to provide birth control or reproductive services to the women they have sex with.
    So Planned Parenthood "promotes promiscuity" and Viagra promotes abstinence? Right.
    Well, ladies, I hope you either want a lot of children or know of a magical fairy who turns off your reproductive system until you're ready for motherhood.
    Myself, I have yet to meet that magical fairy. So until I do, I think public funds should stop paying for Viagra. I don't want my tax dollars contributing to men's erections, which could lead to unwanted pregnancy and abortion.

      Check with your regular doctor or hospital.  In my State, there's a place called the Little Red Door that gives affordable cancer screenings, etc.
      And my doc told me (since I don't have insurance) that the related hospital offers free mammograms for women in my situation.
      There's also several clinics where a man or woman can get affordable STD testing, etc.

      Planned Parenthood would've been okay in itself IF it would do the job its name calls for, which is actual family planning instead of resorting to killing babies.

      I also think it's strange and beyond normal reasoning for Viagra to be covered by Medicare, if it is.  ...I wouldn't know....

      Billy - I think you would find support for any pregnancy center which supports the rights of women to make an informed choice about pregnancy and allows freely terminating a pregnancy in the early stages when that's the woman's decision.

      Everyone who is pro-choice is also pro-life for any woman who has DECIDED that she wants to take the pregnancy to term.

        Yes but when its in the providers interest for women to chose abortion, the provider might be inclined to steer the decision to satisfy that interest. In the case of planned parenthood the interest is in performing abortion as that is more profitable and overwhelmingly where their income comes from. Again I don't have a problem with that but I do have a problem with my government supporting such an operation.

          That is  lie. Their funding does not come mainly from abortions!

          "One in five American women has used Planned Parenthood’s services. The vast majority of care — more than 90% — offered at Planned Parenthood health centers is preventative. Every year, Planned Parenthood carries out nearly one million screenings for cervical cancer — screenings which save lives. Every year, Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses give more than 830,000 breast exams — exams which save lives. Every year, nearly 2.5 million patients receive contraception from Planned Parenthood — a service which prevents enormous numbers of unintended pregnancies and, by extension, an enormous number of abortions. Every year, Planned Parenthood administers nearly 4 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV — tests and treatments which save lives, extend lives, preserve fertility, and maintain reproductive health."

          You read that? PREVENTS abortions. 90% is PREVENTATIVE.

          But of course, that doesn't matter since operation rescue has brainwashed the haters.

          And btw...abortion is a legal medical procedure...unless you are advocating for everyone to have accesss to YOUR private medical activity, y'all should think twice.

        Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood almost always serves as the sales department for the abortion industry.  Their record stands as one of abortion, not encouraging any other alternatives such as adoption or finding a way to keep and care for the child.

        True, pro-life centers are not going to be providing abortion services, but still, if one is government funded, the other should be as well.

          De-Humanize women. You want to talk about the baby being human? What about the mother? Or is she just a machine at your command? No feelings, no thought, no emotion?

          You will force her to do something against her will. No getting around that. Carry that fetus by ORDER of the state.

          An yes..I actually DO know some of the answers...that's why I asked if it was insidious.

    I would vote to defund Planned Parenthood, as well as anything related to sexual activity, including Viagra for prisoners, Viagra for Wisconsin public employees and anything else that should be left to adult individuals.  None of this should be part of the public concern or funding!

      That is right! My private life is not the public's concern! FINALLY you see the light.

      Public funding is used daily with these lax gun laws and all these little kids going into hospitals daily from being shot.

      I demand all guns be confisated by order of the state. Or, let the NRA pay for the hospital visits.

      Sorry, LMC. According to Gallup and USA Today, 73% of Americans believe that citizens should have the right to own guns.

    Do state health departments still offer family planning clinics? I know ours used to, and my mom was in charge of it. The clinic offered prenatal care, post-natal care, and free contraceptive devices. At the time Mom worked there, I believe the clinics were funded by the state of GA. I don't know if they received fed funds or not. I do know that her salary was paid from the state and local coffers.

      If they were offering assistance to those who could not afford prenatal and postnatal care with state funds, that's cool, but Viagra and abortions should be the bailiwick of individuals and not the federal government.

        They didn't provide Viagra or abortions.

    The American Eugenics Society was put of business and developed into Planned Parenthood.

    I must have read a great hub on the subject.

    Never! Never!  Planned Parenthood has done much to help women take control of their reproductive destinies.  No woman is ever free if she is subjected to unwanted and unplanned pregnancies.  Thanks to Planned Parenthood, the quality of motherhood and family life is much better.  Women can determine when to become pregnant and how many children she wants to have!  It cannot get any better than this!

    Unwanted and unplanned pregnancies. Duh. How many people today have sex without knowing that a baby could result? Let's call them what they are, "irresponsible pregnancies," "too lazy to take care of business pregnancies."

    PP is a blood sucking organization that feeds off of this irresponsibility. They must be doing an excellent job educating women about birth control - thats why we have had 50 million or so abortions since Roe v Wade, many of them performed by PP. PP did 332,000+ abortions in 2009, 27.5% of US abortions.

    Check out this article, which provides a link to the PP annual report.

    PP founder Margaret Sanger was a racist eugenics advocate Hitler must have loved. PP continues to destroy our African American population. Check out this website. http://www.klannedparenthood.com/Histor … tatistics/
