Planned Parenthood -- the leading performer and promoter of abortion in Minnesota and nationwide -- has been prominent in the news for the last several months. Lawmakers at both the federal and state levels are seeking to deny Planned Parenthood taxpayer money (it receives some $360 million from the government each year).We have repeatedly made the case that Planned Parenthood must be denied funding, and we have answered the objections of those who say otherwise. Below are recent posts:
- Three reasons why Planned Parenthood should be stripped of government funding
- The pressing need to defund Planned Parenthood
- A response to Scott Dibble regarding Planned Parenthood
- The myth that Planned Parenthood helps reduce abortions
- Defunding Planned Parenthood makes fiscal sense
