I'm outraged! PP should be burnt to the ground! Throw every abortion doctor in jail!
Wait, you mean teen pregnancy would skyrocket?
Oh, and STDs would resurge?
That doesn't matter! Rawr! Outrage!
Wait, and ovarian and cervical cancer rates would go up? No more low-cost pap smears? No more IDU's and birth control pills?
People -- you do realize that birth control pills are used for more than just to prevent pregnancy? There are a whole host of medical issues they can clear up for a woman.

Do honestly, truly believe that someone EARNESTLY thinks that a premature, BORN child is not a human?

A vast majority of those community clinics are PP operated.

Nucatola also says, “No one’s going to see this as a money making thing.” And at another point, she says, “Our goal, like I said, is to give patients the option without impacting our bottom line. The messaging is this should not be seen as a new revenue stream, because that’s not what it is.”
All expenses are paid by the insurance company of the person you are donating to if you are a living donor, or by the organ procurement organization that recovers organs from a deceased donor.
“This video is primarily aimed not at fetal tissue research but at Planned Parenthood,” says David Magnus, director of the Stanford University Center for Biomedical Ethics. “I don’t think this is about the use of tissue that is already discarded. I think it’s about abortion itself. The fact that it’s not clear whether there is any actual problem in terms of [Planned Parenthood’s] behavior highlights the fact that this is politically motivated.” Several Republican presidential candidates have also criticized Planned Parenthood’s practices, invoking the organization’s “disregard for the culture of life” and it’s “penchant for profiting off the tragedy of a destroyed human life.”
There’s no evidence on the video that Planned Parenthood makes a profit from fetal tissue. Nucatola is recorded as saying the organization pays anywhere from $30 to $100 per specimen, and that those fees cover administrative and handling costs, not the cost of the tissue itself. (Those costs are far lower than what other companies that broker exchange of tissues from hospitals and abortion clinics to those who want to study them charge.)

Once again I ask -- how does the GOP plan to pay for all these new human beings that are going to go on welfare? Does the GOP have a plan to beef up child support enforcement?

So then, YES, there ARE community clinics besides Planned Parenthood that offer other services.
Thank you.

Correction:
"someone who had already been intentionally crushed, killed and dismembered"
We're not talking about 'death from an accident or natural causes' here.
Certainly not. He's simply asking the question of how you care for all the children that otherwise would have been aborted? Keep in mind many of the children will be severely physically or mentally handicapped, so the cost of medical care for these children must be considered. Who pays for it?

Are you suggesting that babies are better off dead, than being born, growing up and possibly needing public assistance?
I certainly hope not.

Sure, if you live in a major metropolitan area you can find similar services outside of planned parenthood. But anyone in a rural or even semi-rural environment would find themselves wholly without options for contraception, STD prevention, and a whole host of other essential services should PP be entirely shut down.
