I don't want my tax money going to some stupid ass teenage girl that wants to **** and not use protection, then go down to the clinic every week with her mom and get an abortion... I'm sorry but I think we have bigger problems than these little **** tards getting knocked up over and over.... After the 2nd time just remove their ovaries so we don't have to foot the bill. I know a girl that does this exact same shit.

I believe if they were raped, thats a different story.

I love it, defending women that can't be responsible for their own actions... you **** you don't want the baby... either you go pay the 500-700 or w.e it is now to have it killed or give it up for adoption. This shouldn't even be an argument... and you say republicans and conservatives are to blame... I'm sure most blue dogs wouldn't touch this issue if they want to be reelected.

From my understanding, abortions provided by Planned Parenthood are only covered by the government in the cases of rape, incest, or pregnancy complications that are a threat to the mother's health (in b4 air quotes). All others are not covered by law due to the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for all abortions, except in the aforementioned cases. The major portion of the PP funding is for contraception and medical procedures, such as pap smears, mammograms, STD screens, and the like, and I don't recall those ever being controversial. It's only controversial when right-wingers and blue dogs turn a fiscal issue into some artificial moral outrage for scoring political points.

Wish this forum had a rep system.

According to the link on page one, PP receives $360 million from the government... it would be an added .01% in cuts... are you Farking kidding me.
