We must defund Planned Parenthood, but let’s see the reality of the situation first
Written by JD Rucker

I am pro-life. There are two very clear cases that can be made. Politically, our understanding of modern science combined with the tenets of both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence make it easy to see for anyone not indoctrinated to believe that it’s just a clump of “potential” life in the womb. Culturally, our Judeo-Christian values based upon the teachings of the Bible leave no doubt. Defunding Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with either of these arguments.

This will be hard for many to read, but it’s important to be clear about something. Defunding Planned Parenthood will most likely NOT save lives. In fact, it will strengthen the organization. To understand this, we have to look at the situation with clarity.

When we’re able to defund Planned Parenthood, they will not see a single penny less. They will see more money. Why? Because they will use their defunding to build the most powerful liberal fundraising apparatus the nation has ever seen. They will raise more liberal dollars than anyone other than the Democratic nominee for President. Defunding them will give them more money and power than they have today.

This is indisputable by anyone who knows how these things work.

If this is the case, why must we defund them? Wouldn’t it make more sense to not empower them through defunding? No. We must look at the two important elements from a moral perspective and one important element from a strategic perspective.

I would rather the government, using *my* money, not fund PP.  If liberals want to give money to them, so be it.

Planned Parenthood is largely just a conduit for funneling money out of the public treasury into the pockets of leftist politicians!  The sooner we realize that the better!

I remember when Laura Ingram used to use the term "but monkeys" for the rationalizers like this.

Good let them funnel their own money, that is how conservatives like me think it should be done. It is their money right... Money liberals gives is fluid, if they are giving it here, it is being lessened elsewhere. They want their PP, then they fund it and other liberal causes can deal with the redistribution problems.

Libs won't do that.  It is not in their plans to use their own money to fund their pet projects.  They only use public money.

Case in point:  Cancellation of Paris agreement.  Many of the Hollywood elites, and wealthy people like Kerry, Schwarzenegger, McCain,  Obama, Romney are decrying the US pullout.  Why?  Because the US is the biggest funder in the accord.

Why don't these people begin a fund that can help Climate Change instead?  If the world is going to hell, they should want to contribute their entire wealth to save it and themselves.

They won't, they just want to use other people's money for their 'causes'.

My mother always said "a fool and his money will soon be parted".  I think she was right

Outstanding.

Now he needs to get the rest of the wealthy true-believers like DeCaprio to chip in.

$15mm here, $15mm there, and at some point it might be some serious money.

He better not get a God damned tax break for it 

[Oceander]

He better not get a God damned tax break for it 

It says his personal charity is paying for it, so yeah, he gets a tax break at some point.   

[IsailedawayfromFR]

It's his charity.  Of course he does.

How do you think Sierra Club gets funded?

And it can't be just a 1 time thing. They need to give the money annually.

Why not go all-in and make it mandatory as a tax?
