This is outrageous! Granted that the government already does not fund a majority of abortions and Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest provider of the fetal evacuation procedure.
However, Planned Parenthood offers much more than simply abortions. It provides birth control, STD testing, AIDS screening and a host of other important sexual health applications.
The GOP has its wires crossed on this one. Sure I don't want to pay for people's abortions, but they should have been on birth control in the first place! Yes, yes I know certain extreme cases such a rape or incest abortion is a much more justifiable option. The GOP is basically saying: DON'T HAVE ABORTIONS AND DON'T BE ON BIRTH CONTROL, BUT DON'T HAVE MORE CHILDREN WTFFFFFFF!
So whatever, cut spending on abortions, but leave the rest alone especially birth control! We already have enough people in the world!
