When Kat first posted about this topic, she was speaking about
Planned Parenthood loosing government funding.

Planned Parenthood was caught in a sting operation not just once but in many States.
I am sure this is why the push has been to discontinue to fund them 3 Million Dollars in Indiana.

I think the real catch was funding abortion. If Planned Parenthood wants to offer
to pay for abortions they should find other resources than tax payer money.
I certainly don't want 1 dime of my

Then that logic should have been applied to the Wall Street firms-it was not. The government chose to bail them out. No ones health was at stake, it was all about profit and greed. The government opts to stop supporting affordable health care and these people are going to get that care somehow.

Even if it means a woman with gonorrhea and no insurance must walk into a doctor's office and say her name is Cindy Bolley. That information is now added to your medical record.

How are you go

I don't think the government should of bailed out the
others that you spoke of either.

Kat was talking about Planned Parenthood.
If the government will no longer support them
then they need to find other sources on income to
survive... if they don't, then someone else will be there
to pick up where they left off.

I don't think what I am saying is naive.
I think it is business.

When the government is more concerned with providing for and taking care big businesses over the people they supposedly serve-there's something wrong with the picture.

Thanks Cheryl! I have topped your comment! I totally agree!! the funding should be taken away from the crooks we (tax payers) are forced to support, not the poor souls who have nothing more they can take!

"If Planned Parenthood had their government funding cut
then they would have to find other sources to continue to
operate. That is how a business operates."

That's a rather naive statement considering that Huge Wall street firms are still operating today and guess what? It was the Government that saddled the taxpayers with the billions of dollars that went to 'bailout" these corporate interests. If they can find billions of dollars to let bloated greedy corporate giants continue along on l

I am certain this cutting off of government funding
comes from the sting operation that was revealed
across many states.
It is said that one bad apples don't spoil the whole bunch,
well a whole lot of bad apples that were revealed.

If Planned Parenthood had their government funding cut
then they would have to find other sources to continue to
operate. That is how a business operates.

We don't have a Planned Parenthood where I live.
BUT.... if we did and it shut down due to lack of

Right!! Cheryl, thanks for bringing the identity theft issue, I hadn't even thought about that! So many bad things will happen if they take away what little affordable health care there is out there.

Sorry but I have to agree with Kat here. There's plenty of places to cut spending without taking money away from health care away from women who need it. The preventative healthcare these women receive not only affect their health, but the health of the children that they conceive.

There's no way these women can afford to pay co pays much less the exhorbitant insurance fees that they would have to pay in order to afford to go to the doctor. It's the lack of affordable health care that is d

I don't think that the Government should be involved with a lot of things.
Percentage wise my budget has taken hits like that
But I didn't ask anyone for a hand out
I just kept moving forward.

Cindy

Taking away that much of an operating budget, will lead to closure for all, or most of their facilities, and reduce the number of women that receive help and support. I guess I don't understand how you can see nothing wrong with that?

What would happen to your budget if it took that big of a hit???

Sorry Kat I see nothing wrong with that.
They have many supporters, If that is what they
want to do they can.. No Problem.
But... I don't think the government should be one of their
supporters

As I said... On to the next State!
Cindy

"The bill’s intent is to immediately shut off nearly $3 million in federal family planning and Medicaid funding..."

ahh...but they are supported by government grands. These grants make up a huge part of their operating budget.

OK .... hmmmm perhaps I misread this whole thing

Planned parenthood is able to do what ever it wants
They have a lot of supporters I am sure.
They do not need money from the Government.
Cindy

Political showboating at its worst!

Then onto the next State!
