Breaking: planned parenthood reports massive losses for FY 2019

So, I went to the planned Parenthood annual reports, and discovered they are a 1.6 billion dollar company. Their revenues are, in fact, down about 35 million, but that about a 1.5% change. Not exactly the beginning of the end.
You are starting to remind me of the bozos on facebook. Utterly clueless, but LOVE to post inaccurate memes to try and get people to believe a false narrative.
BTW, if Planned Parenthood fails, that's LOSING. For EVERYONE. If you understood anything for yourself, instead of just believing whatever you are told (gullible much?), you would get that.
That's the lie your side has been fed. Very little of their revenue comes from abortions. They are providers of family planning and gynecological services for those who can't afford it on their own. This is why they subsist on grants, because they serve people who can't afford service. Take them away and you have a health care crisis among the nations neediest. In my book, that's a loss for all.
I think the babies that would otherwise be killed might disagree with you.
A significant portion of their revenue comes from the government. That money could go to other clinics who provide health care, including mammograms that aren't available at PP.
Every time this lie is told, we say "Ok fine, then stop doing them", and much screaming of HELL NO ensues.
Because in many areas, they are the only option.
What saddens me is the number of people who think Roe V Wade invented abortion. But the reality is that we have always had abortion. It's just that when it's not legal the mothers tend to die along with the babies. If they are poor, that is. Before Roe v Wade, the daughters of wealth who got "in a family way" would "travel to Europe". It was only the poor women who had to go to illegal clinics and take their chances.
Anyone who is not willing to allow insurance to cover contraceptives, against clinics handing out free contraceptives, against sex education in school, against free prenatal care, against government social programs, that person is not "pro-life". That person is anti-woman. That person is of the belief that sex is sinful and bad girls that "do it" should be punished. That they should be forced to have the baby and to raise the child in squalor, without enough to eat, no medical care; I think you see my point. As long as they are poor and some shade of brown, anyway.
You will never end abortion. You might end legal and safe abortion, but that's all. If you truly hate abortion, support sex education and affordable contraceptives. Support wellness initiatives for women. Support social programs to raise these children to be healthy. Support educational programs. But you won't. That's not the Republican way. The Republican way is to fight to the death to get that child born, then immediately turn your back on them. But the reality is that you can reduce abortions a lot more effectively by attacking the causes then by attacking the procedure. It's a shame you seem unable to understand that.
Roe versus Wade created a mythical right to privacy that appears nowhere in the Constitution. It needs to be over turned and re written for that reason alone.
I don't hate abortion. I hate that people like you have completely brainwashed themselves into believing that it is 'healthcare' and that it's not killing a baby, it's simply a 'clump of cells'. It turns my stomach to even type that.
I try not to judge people but it's truly sickening how people can convince themselves that supporting killing a baby is good for either the baby or mother, It immediately ends two lives, the baby's life, and the woman's life as that baby's mother.
That's not good, that's evil. The left's devaluing of human life is truly scary.
