South Carolina became just the latest state to make defunding Planned Parenthood a top priority last week, when Republican Gov. Henry McMaster issued an order directing state agencies to stop funding clinics and doctors who perform abortions. With Republicans in control of 33 governor’s mansions and 32 state legislatures, Catherine Glenn Foster, president and CEO of Americans United for Life, said there are “plenty of different possibilities and avenues” when it comes to defunding Planned Parenthood.

When it comes to pro-life issues, I've been critical of republicans for being all talk and no action over the years. This will give us the opportunity to see if that is a valid criticism. If they actually DO anything, I'll be first to praise them. Blessings, -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this as one rare opportunity for republicans to actually BE fiscally conservative - I would think you would applaud it. Whether or not there is a correlation between PP funding and the abortion rate is a separate debate - one that belongs in the private sector. I'm sure the Bill Gates' and Warren Buffets' of the world will be more than happy to fund PP. Leave our tax dollars out of it.

What is the goal, less abortions or political points earned? I want to see less abortions, to me that is "doing right". If defunding planned parenthood increases the number of abortions, was it really "doing right"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The abortion issue at the heart of it is about LIFE. Should my TAXES go to support something I believe is fundamentally wrong? The government should be out of the abortion business -- why should I support it with my tax dollars? It's really that simple. The end result is that abortion is a heart issue -- and where one believes life begins! Amazingly, with 3-d sonograms -- we'll start seeing a shift in understanding where life truly begins.

That's a valid point. Hearkening back to our 'fiscal conservative' discussion, perhaps 'we the people' will do our part and monitor their actions. One can hope, anyway.
