Rick Santorum on his Support for Planned Parenthood (abortion)

[knarf]

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) received $487.4 million in tax dollars over a twelve-month period and performed 329,455 abortions.

Santorum's votes to fund indirectly (through title X family planning) abortion provider Planned Parenthood clinics makes him a partner in crime of the ungodly murder of the innocent unborn.

"Mr.Pro-life" voted to have innocent Americans placed into the PP vegi-matic laboratories and enthusiatically campaigned for pro abortion Arlen Specter against the more conservative Pat Toomey.

Rick may mistakenly believe that his votes to indirectly fund Planned Parenthood can be hidden from Christians that march for life.

why was this moved?

why was this moved?

Because it belongs in opposing candidates since its about an opposing candidate.

Can someone explain this one to me?

Title X funds go to "family planning" and planned non-parenthood gets a majority of those funds. This subsidizes their abortion practices.

Think about if someone was an alcoholic. Then suddenly the gov't comes and gives you $250 a month for food. That money indirectly subsidizes your drinking - because money you would have had to otherwise spend on food - you can now spend on alcohol.

Now substitute into Planned Parenthood. They perform abortions - and charge their patients for the service. Then the gov't gives them money each year for other services which they can give to their patients for free. This allows them to reallocate resources to help fund the abortion services.

I clicked on the link to the bill and do not see anything about money.

Does anyone have Rick Santorum's voting record? It would be nice to be able show what bill he voted for that funded Planned Parenthood.
