[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several states are attempting to defund Planned Parenthood on the basis that PP uses non-govt money to provide abortion services.  Those services represent about 3% of PP's services.  Presumably, the argument is that no govt money should go to an organization that provides abortion services, regardless of whether the money is used for those services.  Abortion is, of course, legal.

Fair play then.  Let's defund the Catholic Church.  Much like PP, the Catholic Church receives Federal, state and local funding for providing services to low income people.  The Catholic Church is sexist and protects pedophiles.  I, of course, understand that the govt money going to the Catholic Church is used for worthwhile purposes, but the Church spends its other money on activities that run counter to American principles.  Govt should have nothing to do with an organization that is sexist and protects pedophiles.

What if Planned Parenthood split the organization?  Had one entity for abortion and one for everything else?  Vigorously segregated the money?[/quote]
