Planned Parenthood keeps the doors open through government grants for providing contraception and female health services. Take those grants away and they cannot afford to provide abortions. Therefore, those grants are funding abortions.

Planned Parenthood can keep those grants if it agrees to stop providing abortions. Since it won't do that, those grant dollars can go to the many organizations that offer those contraception and female health services but do not perform abortions. I know of at least two here in Fairbanks. I'd bet there are a half-dozen to a dozen in Anchorage.

Problem solved. My tax dollars are no longer funding murder. A private doctor can take payment to abort babies. That's his/her choice and those of us who consider abortion to be murder are not paying for it, so our opinion is just that, an opinion.

If you don't want me to stand against your lifestyle, don't ask me to participate in it.
