If ACA were socialized universal healthcare, that would be true, but the so-called "donut holes" mean that millions of Americans do not qualify for ACA coverage. Yeah, your insurance went up, but that was to make the insurance billionaires richer, not to help people.
Plus prescriptions prices have gone up so much now that copays with insurance now often exceed cash patient prices of just a few years ago.Comment

So funding financial support for young women who are knocked up is wasteful spending?
The Republican party is getting it's panties in a bunch over an issue that has been decided a decades ago. What is the best possible outcome here? I only see three possible outcomes. (1) They defund Planned Parenthood, which results in a lot of young women having children out of wedlock and no support for them, (2) They shut down the government (again), and then (3) the fail to defund Planned Parent hood and look like idiots again.
The Republican party continues to back itself into corners which only has bad endings for them. Their support for this dumb county clerk is another perfect example. There is only two endings for this women - she either goes back to jail or she allows gay marriages, either of which is a fail for those who support her.
Another example is Obamacare. Instead of fixing it, the Republican party vowed to destroy it. Again, this goes one of two ways and either way the Republican party comes out with mud on their face - Either they win and kill Obamacare resulting in tens of millions of people loosing their healthcare, or they fail to kill Obamacare and look stupid in the process.
The Republican party needs to stop backing itself into corners where they come out as losers. The Republican party - and the American population in general - should not even be discussing defunding a group that supports young women who need help the most.Herschel Savage

Rochatd, you can't read and think this is about beating me at something so I'm not at all inclined to waste my time with all that.Comment

And if I understand correctly, the Republicans just lost this battle, and Planned Parenthood will be funded. Once again the Republican party invested time, effort, money, and political capital, in a effort they shouldn't have even bothered with.... And lost.Herschel Savage

John Boehner was an unpopular man within his own party. What always amazes me is how hardcore dems say things like "he should have just gotten out of the way of progress" i.e. that he should have supported the dems party line.
Think a minute - if he had, would he ever have been elected, much less allowed to be speaker? The members of his party expect him to fight for *their* ideals.
His inability to effectively counter the dems, when he had a clear, large majority in the house and a majority in the senate was what made him unpopular. Today the speaker can't be a backroom drinker like Boehner - he (or she) needs to be a mini-president.Comment

Stop being disingenuous. This has NOTHING to do with small government. It's an anti-abortion crusade.
The people Planned Parenthood reaches out to don't have family doctors they've been seeing for years that they can confide in whether they're covered by Obamacare or not. These kids know that Planned Parenthood provides counseling for exactly their situations, they can reach out to PP without embarrassment or shame.
And stop invoking the Founding Fathers, they were extremely rational men that you insult with your irrational wacko belief that if they were resurrected from their graves that they would think and behave as if they were still stuck in the 18th century.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting.

ftr: title X, for those who don't have a doctor or not covered under obamacare:::::::::::::::::::::::
The Title X Family Planning Program, officially known as Public Law 91-572 or “Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs” was enacted under President Richard Nixon in 1970 as part of the Public Health Service Act.
Title X is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. Title X is legally designed to prioritize the needs of low-income families or uninsured people (including those who are not eligible for Medicaid) who might not otherwise have access to these health care services.
These services are provided to low-income and uninsured individuals at reduced or no cost. Its overall purpose is to promote positive birth outcomes and healthy families by allowing individuals to decide the number and spacing of their children. The other health services provided in Title X-funded clinics are integral in achieving this objective.Comment

You think I have "wacko" beliefs?
The Founding Fathers were far more intelligent than you are and would have a fit if they saw how govt. is controlling our lives.
I do agree that the defunding of Planned Parenthood is based on the right wing political gains with religious wacko's.
But that has nothing to do with the core that the govt. had no business funding it in the first place. It's a private business.
And it makes lots of money all on it's own and the people running it are making more money in a year than you have made in the last ten years.
It's not a charity. The leaders of Planned Parenthood pay themselves nice big salary's.
The taxpayers shouldn't be paying that. And the federal govt. should stick to doing what was laid out in the constitution and not try to have their hands in everything.-Robbie
