Remember the wall to wall media coverage of the Gosnell trial?

Don’t ever threaten the liberals’ imagined right to abort. It might just be unsafe.
After the Trump administration proposed that health clinics such as Planned Parenthood could not accept federal funds and provide abortions, feminists and media figures raised an uproar. Planned Parenthood, the most recognized name in baby-killing, (with 321,384 abortions in the year 2016 alone), was faced with a choice: to stop providing abortions or stop accepting federal funding (in 2016, they received $543.7 million in federal funding).
Comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted, “Time to expose all the abortions paid for by the hypocrite politicians that vote for this. Make no mistake, this is about limiting women’s choices while courting a specific voting block. This could not be less about morals or life.”
Many defenders of Planned Parenthood decided to avoid the topic of abortion altogether, instead linking the defunding to a rise in cancer and disease. The Hill’s healthcare columnist, Eugene Gu, wrote, “Trump’s plan to defund Planned Parenthood will defund HPV and HIV screening and prevention—the very things he can’t even tell apart. This is a shameful attack on women but a stunning victory for breast cancer, cervical cancer, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital warts.”
Right, because the only health clinics in the United States are Planned Parenthood clinics.
According to NPR, Planned Parenthood’s Vice President Dawn Dawn Laguens said, "This is an attempt to take away women's basic rights, period. Under this rule, people will not get the health care they need. They won't get birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, or even general women's health exams.”
Actress Patricia Arquette echoed the same thought, tweeting, “Lots of people think HPV is HIV which is why they don’t understand that shutting down planned parenthood would result in a huge rise in cervical and throat cancers.” Ok, but abortion isn’t healthcare. Providing abortions does not stop the rise of cervical and throat cancers. And nobody is shutting down Planned Parenthood. It has to make a choice between providing abortions or receiving federal funding.
Actor John Fugelsang wrote, “WH to strip Federal funding to Planned Parenthood because only in America do we try to make the abortion rate go down by making it harder for women to get birth control.” Abortion has been legal since 1973, and even though liberal politicians promised they would make it “safe, legal and rare,” Planned Parenthood alone has performed over 7.6 million abortions since it was made legal. Providing abortions and birth control, ironically, did not make the abortion rate go down.
“..“Time to expose all the abortions paid for by the hypocrite politicians that vote for this......”
This voter would appreciate that disclosure.
Sounds like a half victory. PP still gets the majority of its funding from Medicaid?
For now, but they may follow federal funds. The money is still going to women’s health care facilities that provide birth control, HPV screening, Mammograms etc. they just won’t go to facilities that provide abortions.
I would allow under scrutiny Planned Parenthood’s government funding if they stopped abortions altogether and did everything else that they say they do. It would be a win/win LMAO. In reality that’s not how it works and most of the services and outcry is total bullsh*t. It’s ALL about abortion and those who support Planned Parenthood are just leftist brainwashed sheep.
“This is a shameful attack on women but a stunning victory for breast cancer, cervical cancer, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital warts.”
PP doesn’t do mammograms and never said they did.
Everything else is self inflicted and easily avoidable. How about just keeping your freaking legs together until in a stable, monogamous marriage???

>>It’s ALL about abortion and those who support Planned Parenthood are just leftist brainwashed sheep.<<
sanger’s dream to kill little black babies before they get a chance to grow up has been more successful than she could have dreamed. They just keep volunteering.
May she rot in hell.
Restaurants, beauty salons, barber shops, have more stringent sanitation requirements than abortion clinics. Abortion clinics are rarely are inspected.
As a self-described “medical facility” you would think they would get the same going over as a dentist office or an urgent care center. But they don’t. I think they tried it in Texas once and some foolish judge down there killed the idea saying they are not required by law to be inspected by Health officials.

The answer is to break them up, fund the healthcare if we must; let the abortion biz stand alone and survive on sales and donations. Audit to insure monies not fungible.
Safer for the unborn though.
One step at a time
How can Trump unilaterally do this?
Protecting babies is the main goal, however, irritating abortion advocates is a sweet bonus.
Planned parenthood? Abortion is a solution for unplanned parenthood.
So President Trump put a major dent in the infanticide industry. Hip Hip Hurray!
Unsafe? Not for the babies these ghouls like to murder and dissect for $$$$$$$.
No, it's time to lock up every American woman who ever solicited for the murder of her child. Stop the demand for this sick twisted "service", and it will stop.
Allowing the liberal media to keep their FCC licenses is ‘unsafe’ for this country.
