ORIGINAL: subspaceseven Very true, there are a lot of uninsured women who get most of their medical needs through PP, they offer low cost medical service covering a wide range of services, abortions are less then 1% of the service they provide And believe it or not they offer low cost medical service for men also, in such areas as birth control for men, male infertility, testicular cancer and urinary tract infections for men Have you even visited their web site to see the wide range of services they offer, or do you just trust Fox and believe they only do abortions and the morning after pill Why would I need to visit their site to see the services they provide? According to the Wiki, 1/3 of their funding is from the Federal Government. If Federal funding was pulled, would they be able to stay open? Yes. Yes, they would. They might have to scale down their offerings, or increase their fees, but, they'd pull through just fine. Hell, they might find more donors and/or find their current donors would be willing to increase their benevolence. I'm not for shutting down PP. I understand they offer a plethora of services at a lower cost (it's amazing how it's 2/3 a charity, yet many liberals have hounded me about my stance that charity can, and is a better option for, provide free medical care). Had Federal Funding come as reimbursements for care provided (such as participating in Medicare/Medicaid), I'd have no problem with that, either.
