Also I'm pretty sure there's already law on the books barring Planned Parenthood from using funds given to them by the federal government on abortion services so taxpayers already aren't funding abortions from them.
Huh, I didn’t know that. It looks like you’re right:
So this is even more performative and vindictive than it seemed at first glance. Thanks for pointing that out!
Which is real fucking rich after the debate where he pretended to be in favor of providing more resources for people wanting to start a family - the exact thing you would strip away if you stopped funding Planned Parenthood.
I'd find the people falling for this grift comically dumb if we weren't headed full steam ahead into an election that could be decided by just a handful of ignorant rubes.
But that's only of you think he cares about starting a healthy family. He wants people to suffer, have babies that then may grow up poor so they can suffer in the grinder that is capitalism, and if they don't grow up then their parents suffer more under said grinder with the healthcare costs further feeding the 1%.
