Defund Planned Parenthood

There has been a lot of controversy over the subject of defunding Planned Parenthood. People have been discussing it, and, more importantly, politicians have been too. The question is: will the bill rally up enough support to be made law? Some point out the fact that if Planned Parenthood is to be defunded, that would spell trouble for women looking for basic healthcare. Yet, in her interview with Fox News, Lila Rose, president of Live Action, a pro life group, stated that she had found 800 other clinics that could provide the same basic healthcare (excluding abortions). So why are we wasting our taxpayer dollars on unneeded and morally wrong medical clinics and practices? Pro abortionists say that if Planned Parenthood is defunded, they could come up with the money on their own. After all, they say, some famous celebrities have appeared in ads for the "Stand With Planned Parenthood" campaign and might be willing to pitch in to support Planned Parenthood. Either by fundraising or by enlisting celebs for help, pro abortionists speculate that Planned Parenthood might be able to produce its own funds. Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director says that "at the end of the day, (celebrities) will endorse them, but won't fund them". My take is that celebrities have a lot of money and enough press to go through with it, but it would take a lot of pro abortion celebrities to fund Planned Parenthood's clinics across the world. If we want to continue with our fight against Planned Parenthood, we have got to hit them where it hurts: their pocketbooks. Defund Planned Parenthood and they wil not thrive without our hard earned money. Indiana has already defunded their Planned Parenthood clinics, drawing much outcry from democrat and liberal politicians. If they can do it, so can we.
