The elephant in the room is the issue that many feel abortions are murder. Planned Parenthood would qualify for funding if it would simply stop abortions. 

Since you skipped this issue entirely, can you please elaborate on what your personal beliefs on this simple question: at what week does a baby within a mother's womb deserve to be protected like any other human life?  This matters because your entire op-ed treats life as dollar sign, not a life that deserves to be saved.
