Planned Parenthood spends $12 million on Obama

[gongoozler]

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion provider, has spent $12 million on this year's presidential election through its political action committees.

That is more than it has ever spent in an election, and about half of it has gone for television ads in such battleground states as Florida, Ohio and Virginia, according to the Associated Press.

Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood's president, said she has "taken a break from [her] day job" to campaign for President Obama. In a video released by the Obama campaign on Oct. 19, Richards said, "Our daughters' and our granddaughters' future depends on" working to re-elect the president.

Richards' announcement came three days after the second presidential debate, when Obama mentioned Planned Parenthood five times, advocating continued federal funding for the controversial organization. In contrast with previous presidential campaigns, Obama has been outspoken in promoting abortion rights and Planned Parenthood.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, meanwhile, has called for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

Richard Land doesn't "blame Planned Parenthood for being actively involved in the Obama campaign," the Southern Baptist pro-life leader said.

"If one reads the platforms of the two parties, it's in their self-interest to do everything they can to bring about President Obama's re-election, because the Republican platform called for Planned Parenthood to be defunded and the Democratic platform supported continued funding of Planned Parenthood," Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said.

"Unfortunately, there are hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at stake, so I imagine Planned Parenthood sees a $12 million investment as a wise use of their funds in order to protect the gift of hundreds of millions of dollars they receive every year from the federal government.

"Personally, I find it unconscionable that our government is funding Planned Parenthood, and I strongly support their being reduced to zero in the federal budget," Land said.

Planned Parenthood and its affiliates, which are under investigation by a congressional subcommittee, received $487.4 million in grants, contracts and reimbursements from all government levels in 2009-10, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Planned Parenthood centers reported performing 329,445 abortions in 2010.

During the Oct. 16 debate, Obama again seemed to repeat his mistaken contention that Planned Parenthood provides mammograms. He said millions of American women "rely on [Planned Parenthood] for mammograms."

Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms, however, a fact confirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Alliance Defending Freedom, the FDA said no Planned Parenthood clinic has a license to operate mammogram equipment, according to CNS News.

Planned Parenthood refers women to other clinics for mammograms, the organization acknowledged Oct. 17.

A subcommittee of the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee initiated an investigation of Planned Parenthood more than a year ago. It has been looking into reports of potential fraud and failure to report suspected sex abuse and human trafficking.

You did not post "Wonder if any...," you posted "Wonder how much...," and you did not post " :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: " at all.

Still dishonest, still confused, still illiterate - even about your own posts.

Vrede the delusional still can't tell the truth. Funny the question mark shows up on my screen. Vrede only sees what she wants then if it's not there she just makes it up and keeps repeating it, or edits the post of others. The liberal way then she believes it.

"Hence" means you're saying that you posted them before, which you didn't. You posted a single, non-emoticon question mark.

Duh.

And, "Wonder how much...," is still the accusation that "Wonder if any...," would not have been.

Still illiterate, even about his own posts, still calls others delusional and dishonest when the entire blame rests on his shoulders. What a wuss!

So a question mark has to be of vrede's liking for her to understand. What a whiny baby who missed the question mark now is BLAMING me.

No, I didn't miss anything, you idiot. "?" is still different from the " :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: " that you said you'd already posted by saying, "Hence...". Everyone literate knows that. Get someone smarter than you, which is everyone, to explain your screw up to you, and quit BLAMING me for pointing it out.

And, "Wonder how much...," is still the accusation that "Wonder if any...," would not have been. You're still ducking having tried to weasel out of that one. What a whiny and cowardly baby.

Yup question marks according to vrede. There still question marks! Twist and Deny at it's finest.

What was the huhhhhh!!!!! for, dopey?

Were you having a bowel movement?

You run from your own words. I would too were I in your shoes.

No, you're the one lying and denying.....as usual. What is being said is that you obviously didn't read the thread or you would not have made the stupid satement about "wonder how much of it was taxpayer money" or some such nonsense. How can one person be so suupid? Does it hurt? Have you ever not been stupid?

You did not post "Wonder if any...," you posted "Wonder how much...," ...

$0 is an acceptable and potential answer to "Wonder how much..." -- there's nothing wrong with the way he worded it.

[neoplacebo]

You need to join the stupid club, then. Your article states that "hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are at stake..." Zero is not a good answer.

[Tertius]

Not one dime of taxpayer money should go th Planed Parenthood.

They are at stake, but Colonel Taylor's stupidity was in accusing PP of using taxpayer dollars for its PAC. "Zero" is the answer that anyone smarter than Colonel Taylor already knows.

Oh, my mistake then.....

[Crock Hunter]

$0 is an acceptable and potential answer to "Wonder how much..." .

You think that because you are as dishonest as Colon.. .. . His question clearly implied that it was Tax Payer money.. unless as you, we give hypocrisy a pass..

Had he asked, "Wonder if any..." (as you seem to indicate he should have), you would have just gone off about how PP doesn't spend their own PAC money.

"$0" is not a potential answer to that question :?: :?: :?:
