Trump Planned Parenthood Offer Rejected


An informal proposal from President Donald Trump to Planned Parenthood was rejected after the organization, which receives $500 million a year from the government to provide health services to women, refused to stop providing abortions as a condition of keeping or getting increases in funding.

Republicans are looking at various ways to defund the organization, including as part of a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare or by an executive order, but the group signaled that cutting abortion services from its offerings would not be an option, according to The Washington Times.

"Providing critical health care services for millions of American women is non-negotiable," Planned Parenthood executive vice president and chief brand officer Dawn Laguens said to the Times.

Its not critical healthcare, its murder.

Considering that they don't do pre-natal care or counseling, what else is there - adoption - that is kinda outside the scope of their name!

At least the President made them an offer!

Planned Parenthood could easily be crowd sourced. Taxpayers don't have to be involved at all except on a voluntary basis.

I'm with 7:32. It's not planned parenthood when the goal is murder. Healthcare is a whole 'nother country.

Screw them. Planned Parenthood gives our tax money to Democrat candidates by the millions. Let them do their little donor parties and quit living off the taxpayers' work! Defund the SOBs and move on.

An organization named planned parenthood should be as much about supporting healthy pregnancy as preventing unplanned pregnancy. Terminating pregnancy has nothing to do with "parenthood." What a sad state of affairs. I am totally against government funding for such an organization.

President Trump wasn't giving them a proposition. He made the statement that abortions nix their federal money. That's not an offer, it's more like a condemnation. Planned parenthood leadership reveals just how stupid they are. Besides they're not about women's health anyway. They don't offer basics like mamagrams which is a cornerstone for women's health due to breast cancer so we all know what their money goes towards. Electing democrats. Let them throw some fundraisers and quit living off the taxpayer dole. They never deserved getting Federal cash to begin with.
