    Cleve, you never have any idea of what you are talking about. Not a good idea to keep

    mouthing off.

    You are now coming off like a cross between ernest t bass and emily latella, which would

    explain your possible confusion about your sexuality, if it exists.

        Defunding PP is a terrible idea. It shows a lack of critical thinking. But thanks to OBF, we know where the religious types that would support something like this stand on critical thinking

          We don't approve of murdering babies Woody. That is having a conscience and some good critical thinking to boot. Let Planned Parenthood get private funding from critical thinkers like yourself.

              Churches earn their tax exemption by contributing to the public good. Churches offer numerous social services to people in need, including soup kitchens, homeless shelters, afterschool programs for poor families, assistance to victims of domestic violence, etc. These efforts relieve government of doing work it would otherwise be obliged to undertake.

                  And PP does alot more than just abortions. So you can't have it both ways. I'm all for eyeballing the shit out of PP to make sure they're behaving, but lets not act like it's much different than churches. You can't have it both ways.

                    Kind of like how Planned Parenthood provides women's health services, pregnancy planning, STD testing, helps to prevent unwanted pregnancies, etc, right?

                            I wish free loading churches and Planned Parenthood would both get out of my wallet. Gaming the system to be able to buy Ferraris with tax free money on one side. Making me financially responsible for covering your "oopsies" on the other.

                                    I can't wait until the the day that the scourge of society that planned murderhood is will be wiped off the map.

                                    Not necessarily. Churches and other religious organizations are exempt from taxes under IRS 501 C to keep the separation of church and state, but there is one caveat to that:

                                    "To be tax-exempt under section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501©(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."

                                    So, if these churches and other religious organizations are giving money or aid (lobbying) to politicians to advance their goal of abolishing abortion, then they are no longer exempt from taxes.

                                    Simply put, if churches have enough money to give to politicians to stop abortions, then they have enough money to pay Uncle Sam taxes too.

                                      It would be unconstitutional to tax churches and that's that.

                                      Churches also do not murder innocent babies so there's that.

                                      Back to the real topic, not the liberal queers' diversion:

                                      Which is exactly my beef. You want to buy influence and lobby as some type of special interest group? Cool... you're giving Uncle Sam his due then.

                                      Abortions are paid for with private funds, so your hands are clean.

                                      So.... I'd say there's a great deal more of critical thinking coming from the end of those whom don't want to touch PP, no?
