Glenn Beck had the pro-life investigator who exposed Planned-Parenthood on his show and made an impassioned plea to women considering an abortion to consider offering them for adoption.

Beck’s son was born to a 14-year-old and was later adopted by Beck and his wife.

Not to be picky, but there have been 53 million abortions since Roe, not 51.

The actions both historical and current of Planned Parenthood are deplorable and a shame on the country, and I am not in the least unhappy that the House voted to defund this organization. However, I do have a problem with a piece of legislation which names a specific person or entity as the House bill today did. That is not a good precedent and there is a danger that the measure (should it be passed by the Senate) could be declared unconstitutional. The law should apply equally and not single out specific individuals or organizations. Congress should defund every abortion provider in the country, not just Planned Parenthood.

The far left now dominates the Democratic Party, so when they regained power in 2007 and 2009 the long-standing policies were overturned – but they had never been enough.

It was a joke to prohibit federal money being used for abortions and simultaneously fund organizations like PP. Money is fungible; you can’t say this money or that money funded the copier budget and paid rent, while some other money was used for the abortions.

Cutting them off completely was always the only answer.

The best way to prevent abortions is simply to avoid unwanted pregnancies. The typical “if you don’t want the kid, don’t have sex” is easy said but does not seem to resonate very well with our kids. Note that Planned Parenthood was ding this too, so we will need to use another conduit for this that will need to be carefully veto’ed.

Dropping pregnancy prevention programs will only lead us back to back-alley abortions so we have to be careful about not putting on blinders and face reality.

These Republicans voted no: Charlie Bass (NH), Judy Biggert (IL), Mary Bono Mack (CA), Charlie Dent (PA), Robert Dold (IL), Rodney Frelinghuysen (NJ), Richard Hanna (NY). Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) voted present.

It is because of the advent of the sonigram and the ability of recent generations to SEE what it is that they are “terminating” that is causing the tide of American sentiment to turn on the abortion issue.

I wish I could say it was because of the Country as a whole is making a turn back toward Christian values, but alas that does not seem to be the case. Either way, I will not look the gift horse in the mouth. Anything that causes America to see the error of her ways on this issue is a net plus in my book.

“A War on Women.”

“Mike Pence’s War on Planned Parenthood.”

“Republicans Focus Attack on Planned Parenthood.”

What, no bullseye or target? That civility nonsense went a long way, didn’t it?

Proper grammar saves lives.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

I think you’ve got the arrow of causation wrong when it comes to abortions in minority communities. It isn’t the supply of abortion providers creating demand for more abortions; the demand is already there, due to disproportionate levels of unwanted pregnancy and a weaker support network for those who choose to complete the pregnancy. Planned Parenthood is simply locating facilities where they are in demand.

Similarly, PP’s emphasis on abortion over other options isn’t an ideologically-driven attempt to turn us into an abortion-crazy society. They are simply responding to increasing demand in a marketplace where abortion services are for a variety of reasons undersupplied. In many communities PP is the only option for girls and women who want options. It makes sense that this scarcity would result in the clustering of abortions, with other services diminishing in relation.

Lastly, you are entitled to your beliefs about Planned Parenthood and about abortion. I have no doubts that they are sincere. But it’s unfair for you to impugn the sincerity of NOW, La Raza, and the NAACP on the matter. Clearly they aren’t “ignoring what makes sense morally” to obtain political power. Their moral compass may be pointing in a direction here, but clearly they aren’t ignoring it. Defunding PP is not only severely regressive, but it levies a disproportionate economic burden on women and minorities. It’s not hard to see why groups that advocate for equality and empowerment for these groups would oppose defunding PP.

End federally funded abortions? There are no federally funded abortions. It’s called the Hyde Amendment, and it’s been in effect since 1976. The Title X funds than Planned Parenthood receives go to contraceptives, counseling, and exams.
