Today Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, testified before Congress trying to defend her organization amid the scandalous videos coming forth showing them selling infant body parts and tissues. Richards maintained a level of decorum during her questioning, to which I would say, was almost a level of not grasping the severity of her corporations dilemma. I can even go as far as to say she has absolutely no regard for the lives of the unborn. With that said, this issue is far more than a religious issue. This is far more than a misunderstanding of women's health care needs. This is a humanity issue.
I need to know why on Earth Planned Parenthood is able to fund certain candidates campaigns. How is it possible that federal funds go for the placement of people in office who support abortions? That is why she is there after all, she is fighting for the government to not stop funding her organization. A federally funded organization that allows for the selling of baby body parts without fear of reprisal because Planned Parenthood has bought that safety net. That's what this is all about. Being free and clear of any legal and moral obligation to the nation.
I laughed when I read how people and Congressmen and Congresswomen were dismayed at Richards being asked tough questions. How some talked over her and made remarks that weren't as flattering about her and her organization. It's a hearing, this isn't afternoon tea. It's going to get nasty, just like many hearings before this one.
Planned Parenthood is not about women's health. If it was, how is it when they turn a $127 million profit within the past year, that they can still demand $530 million from the government? Richards even admitted today that something close to 89% of their revenue comes from abortions. Let's examine that statement, shall we? If this is supposed to be a place to provide healthcare, however, almost 90% of their revenue comes from abortions, that is not healthcare. That is essentially a back-up plan to not using protection.
As posted in a previous blog, I did some research in the area and found that their services were not any cheaper, but right in line with the costs of doctor's offices within the area. So tell me how they are a crucial organization to women's health care? Planned Parenthood is not the end all be all of women's healthcare options, there are hundreds of OB/GYN's in the area who can provide the same services. No, this is just another federally funded organization who are being threatened because their misdeeds were finally made public and are now on defense.
We need a more educated public in regards to pregnancy prevention. Schools in Virginia were not allowed to teach about contraception, only abstinence, because of funding issues if they were to discuss condom use. Let's throw that nonsense right out and teach people about contraception. ObamaCare has made everything within women's healthcare covered, including birth control pills, and that's costing us a pretty penny to fund.
De-fund Planned Parenthood. This archaic staple that may have been a woman's only option for healthcare services once upon a time is now in competition with other doctor's offices. Tax payers are funding ObamaCare that covers everything Planned Parenthood does, so cut out some more wasteful spending. And for the sake of our society, throw every kind of legal charge against these people within the organization selling baby body parts!
