If she's getting mealy-mouthed -- that's how to lose the election. Take a stand, and show some spine!

The money doesn't go to abortions.  It's for birth control, which stops abortions.  Abortions are going to keep happening in any case, because abortions are a pressing medical need.  There's no evidence or any reason to suggest that cutting birth control funding to Planned Parenthood would force them to redirect their "abortion money" and thus cut abortions.  No evidence at all.  Everything indirectly funds something else anyway.  That's called the economy.  If you don't want your money indirectly going to other people who might spend it in ways you don't like, keep your money in a Scrooge McDuck vault or shut the hell up.

And, spare me the political jargon and moralizing.  This is not about women demanding "free stuff."  This is about giving away a penny to get a dollar.  You're angry that someone got a free penny, even though you're 99 cents in the black.  That's called sour grapes.  Birth control is an investment in women that pays immediate dividends for society. 

And, what is this philosophy that nothing should be free?  Most roads are free, parks are free, libraries are free, police protection is free, why don't those constitute a culture of dependency?  Maybe because it doesn't involve female sexuality which you want to demonize.

Example:

Microsoft and Apple give away free software as upgrades.  That is far more advantageous than losing customers who give up their computers because they will otherwise be nickled and dimed to aggravation.

Also, advertising is usually free to the targeted person.
