Aiding and abetting infanticide? What's there not to like?

Infanticide, huh? Seems like a big word. Let's look up the definition.

"the practice of killing newborn infants."

Pretty sure PP doesn't do that. Besides, isn't abortion only a very small section of their services?

Yep. Only 3%.

They get paid to murder. All else pales in light of that single fact.

What kind of argument is that?

To the pro lifer, killing babies is one of their services. It hardly matters what else they do.

Yeah, that's like saying Hitler improved German roads...and yes, I did just compared Planned Parenthood to Hitler. I'm mostly kidding, but Planned Parenthood is pretty horrible.

Massive HO. A despicable, mass-murdering criminal enterprise.

It says a lot about the demographics here that there is an overall HO rating.

I think I am becoming a lot more pro life than I once was, though I have never liked taxpayer funding for abortion, so HO.  Also, abortion is a huge part of PP.  Why else would their political activism be so focused on that issue?

There is no Federal funding for abortion as per the Hyde Amendment.  Whatever federal funding Planned Parenthood gets is not for abortions.

True, but where is that federal funding being used? Is it being used to keep clinics open and staff on the payrolls so the organization can take privately donated money that would otherwise be spent on administrative costs and use it to fund, among other things, abortion? I'd love to see a graph detailing their exact spending.

Eh, this is a very left-libertarian forum.

People here are left-libertarian on things that they like. When it is stuff they don't, like private education or types of bigotry, the left wingers really start to split. PP doesn't really cater that much to the Atlas demographic, so it is unsurprising that people here dislike it.
That doesn't make opposing planned parenthood ceteris paribus a bad position, but it is a rather important thing to note.

What about all the abortions that Planned Parenthood prevents though?  Providing regular birth control and emergency contraception prevents many abortions from ever happening in the first place.

Wait, I thought this was supposed to be a socially liberal forum?
Well, FO takes the lead with my vote.
