    Now with the tax cuts liberals have more money so now they can donate that money to any cause they like. No need to take money from those who are not in favor of abortions.

    My wife and I have adopted five of these children so far, just finalized the last adoption in 2016. I guess they didn’t get the memo.
    We would love to continue to open our home to save more of these children that would otherwise have been aborted but our age has made that decision a bit more complicated.

    Get the catholic hospitals to stop getting federal funds and then you can talk to me about hypocrisy. Why are you not screaming about them and their fungible funds!

    No organization left or right that gets any kind of government funding should then be allowed to make campaign contributions
    Its a conflict of interest they end up becoming slush funds

    Hypocrisy? What hypocrisy?
    Why should I? They provide services (all legal) and they get paid for it. Grow up.

    Are you kidding? PP provides services all legal and they get paid for it. Giving money to a church is in violation of the constitution. Why are you not up in arms about this?

    Catholic hospitals only provide legal medical services -- and do not provide abortions -- therefore fungible funding is not an issue. Every service provided by a Catholic hospital can be funded with government funding. Unlike Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions which should NOT be funded with government funding. Are you beginning to see how that works yet, and why fungible funding is a concern for Planned Parenthood but not for Catholic hospitals?

    If not, there is no point in wasting further time debating or explaining things to you.

    PP only provides legal medical services. How are you not getting this? It is illegal to fund a church. Churches are in the hospitals we fund. FUNGIBLE!!!!! lol

    Abortion is legal, yes, but it should not be paid for with government funding.

    Churches shouldn't be funded by the tax payers, either. I am sick of them not paying taxes while I pay an increased percentage to make up the difference for their status.

    **** churches. The catholics have a lot of gall; they ought to be investigated for RICO violations.

    End their status. Asa tax payer who is not Christian I am tired of subsidizing them.

    You never addressed : ""FoxHastings said:
    Yes, stop funding PP and poor women will have more kids that taxes will support....really, that's a stupid plan.

    But it does give Repubs a chance to denigrate poor women and whine how their taxes go to support CHILDREN..."""


    Address how banning abortion would save taxes...it won't....it'll just go to supporting more children, something Repubs hate to do as proven by their attempts to cut funding to entities like Welfare, WIC, SNAP...anything that benefits CHILDREN.

    Planned Parenthood that receives Federal Money is a seperate entity from the Planned Parenthood PAC.

    NO, there are MANY children in the system waiting to be adopted by these so-called "Pro-LIFE" ranters....there are so many that some actually "age -out" of the system...that means NO one has adopted them......so there are plenty for so-called "Pro-LIFERS" to adopt....hop to it!!!!

    I don't think we have a problem of babies not getting adopted in this country in fact wanting parents have to wait in line as far as I know.

    Let's make adoption easier instead of killing the babies.
