Planned Parenthood, like the ACLU, like your organisation, well, LIKE ALL THE FUCKING ORGANISATIONS OF AMERICA, receive a tiny contribution from the government. The rest is made up from anonymous donnors. And it is where your theory sinks.
"Planned Parenthood is dependent upon federal funding for its survival, and it is now a billion dollar industry that profits from providing abortions to those it is supposed to be serving."
Wait, so Planned Parenthood is Dependant on federal funding to continue its existence, but it rakes in billions from abortions? How does that work?

It's painfully obvious you're just hurling as many accusations as you can, without once thinking whether they make sense or don't contradict each other. You imply that PP is both a parasite drawing off tax money, and also an evil corporation making huge profits by exploiting the customer. You can't both be making a tidy profit and entirely dependent on grant funding at the same time, idiot!
of course, to follow her programme you have to be straight. Teh gheys don't get a look in.
Fuck you Crouse, you're pushing your babble with federal funding

No, they are putting the health and safety of children and adolescents ahead of profits(and prophets, as the case may be).
Planned Parenthood provides abortion on request, it's not a force procedure. PP makes more money on GYN examinations, sex and couples counseling, and providing birth control. Yeah, I know, the truth fucks up your Fundie Agenda rant, doesn't it?
It is beyond time to expose the financial records and highlight the lack of effectiveness of all those leftist non-governmental organizations that claim to work 'for the children,' when their policies and programs are so detrimental to children's futures.
Basically: "You are havin' that baby for Jesus, bitch!"
The callousness of those who support ignorance based sex education is astounding - they are putting the interests of huge money-making fundie organizations ahead of the well-being of the nation's children and adolescents. The fundie mafia is dependent upon gullible sheep for its survival, and it is now a billion dollar industry that profits from witholding information from those it is supposed to be serving. It is beyond time to expose the financial records and highlight the lack of effectiveness of all those wingnut non-governmental organizations that claim to work 'for the children,' when their policies and programs are so detrimental to children's futures."
Fixed.
Actually, sex education is about the kids; it's about making sure they know how to protect themselves. It's about making sure they do not make mistakes that could cost them their lives.
It has nothing to do with any money making organization. Fundies have serious issues with anyone who actually does make money, so you are taking two of the evils in your mind - sex and money - and combining them to come up with an argument that is beyond ridiculous. There isn't one thing you said that is able to stand on its own.
And, if you knew a damn thing about Planned Parenthood you would know that, according to their own annual reports, for the past seven years, 33% or less of their income comes from government grants. The rest comes from their own revenue and private contributions. So, um, no; they are not in any way dependent on government grants. If they lost that money from the government, they certainly wouldn't cease to exist.
Face it, everything you disagree with is not a mass governmental conspiracy. Often, you are just plain fucking wrong.
Isn't Planned Parenthood like nonprofit or something?
It seems like it's nonprofit.
Besides, I didn't learn anything in sex. ed., my parents aren't going to tell me, and I haven't bothered to check the Wikipedia. I feel like I lost out on something that I should know about.
Good sex education = less unwanted pregnancies, less STDs, less abortions, less kids fucking up their futures by having to drop out of school, and less psychological damage to kids because they feel okay to be different.
There is no downside.
And of course, good sex education should also include letting kids know that it's fine to choose abstinance if they wish to. It's their choice.
The 'abstinance only' route leads to a bucketload of guilt and low self-esteem, not to mention higher rates of unwanted pregnancies. And you are looking at a lifetime of sexual disfunction when you make people so ashamed of their bodies and natural urges.
Why can't these morons get that?
"... It is beyond time to expose the financial records ...
It's already been done, dumbass.
During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2007, monies from the federal government made up 30.23% of Planned Parenthood's operating revenue, and that includes payment for services and not just grants. How do I know? Because I looked at the financial information included in the annual report right there for anyone to see on Planned Parenthood's website and I did the simple calculation. Took a total of less than 2 minutes.
Another reversal of positions.
Planned Parenthood already exposed its records long ago and only a small fraction of it goes into abortion - most of it goes into giving away birth control.
It, by far, helps teenagers instead of "hurting their futures", since some girls would have to sacrifice a productive career for caring for an unwanted baby.
Planned Parenthood is dependent on federal funding and is a billion dollar industry? What are they in the oil market now?
I'd rather a child knew about birth-control, STD's, and abortions, so they could carry on to college and get good jobs and have choices in their lives. Your plan has them married at 18 and working at Arby's to support a kid they never wanted in the first place. That's if they're lucky and don't catch anything nasty. I know women who caught an STD as a teen and didn't get it taken care of because they didn't want their parents to find out (small town), they're now sterile. But I guess you just see that as Gods punishment.
Well, it worked out pretty well for Romania when they banned contraceptives and abortion.
Oh, wait, it didn't.
The birth rate went up, more children were abandoned (because they couldn't afford to raise them), the illegal abortion rate skyrocketted, alongside the rate of complications with said illegal abortions.
The abortion rate, even though it was illegal, hit unheard of numbers. Something like 5 abortions for every 6 pregnancies.
Here in the States, where both contraception and abortion are legal, the ratio is about 1 abortion per 4 pregnancies.
Basically, if you fucking teach people how to plan their pregnancies, they'll only get pregnant (or get people pregnant), when they are willing and able to raise a child.
Thanks to crappy sex ed, i didn't know what a cervix was until i was 16.
Suck that. Thank God for Wikipedia.
The whole press release... there isn't a word in there that isn't an out and out lie, and they know it. FSM help me, they know it, those lying fundie fucks. Lying wall to wall, citing studies from groups with an axe to grind... the fucking bastards.
Let's put this in bolding and capslock, shall we?
ABORTIONS MAKE UP ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOES, AND IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T FORCED.
I'm too tired to type the rest, but I think that has already been taken care of.
"self-appointed harpies for America"
Sorry, you do seem to have a lot of interfering, pointy-nosed, busybodies over there - shouldn't they be homeschooling or baking or something?
Wait, if they need the state to survive finantially, where is there the big business you talk about?, it just doesn´t make sense.
Are you sufficiently "concerned" that you take all the necessary steps to eliminate the need for abortions? Comprehensive, fact-based sex ed is the best first step, and readily available and affordable contraception is next. And if you don't support these things, then you lie when you claim to be anti-abortion.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
