Organization says it will cut cancer screenings, but not abortions.

Planned Parenthood plans to retaliate against North Carolina women after state legislators affirmed their decision to strip the infamous private abortion provider of state funding. Claiming that an estimated $200,000 isn't used to finance abortions, North Carolina's Planned Parenthood abortion mills have threatened to cut cancer screenings and other services - but not abortions.

RALEIGH, NC (Catholic Online) - The vote was taken to override the state's Democratic Governor's veto of a new budget that would prohibit money from going to private providers of "family planning services," effectively meaning Planned Parenthood.

Governor Bev Perdue originally vetoed the budget. Now overridden by her legislature, the new budget is in effect as of July 1. Although not mentioning the term, Planned Parenthood clearly plans retaliation.

Planned Parenthood claims that state funds are never used for abortions. This ignores the reality that money is a fungible resource and funds spent in one area free other monies to be spent on abortions. However, Planned Parenthood has already announced they will make cuts to cancer screenings and other health care services they provide, but not abortions.

Fortunately, some of those threatened cuts do include contraceptives and abortifacients.

However, the fixation on abortions, even when money is scarce, should reveal even that Planned Parenthood's agenda isn't life-affirming and women's health has never been a goal of the organization.

The new law cuts $200,000 from Planned Parenthood and redirects at least $343,000 back to the state.

Agencies that offer services to truly protect women's health will now receive the money. County health departments will use the funds to provide affordable care to women and children that do not include services with a 50 percent mortality rate.

Planned Parenthood still plans to fight for their money and is considering legal action against the state - as if the state has a requirement to fund private organizations such as Planned Parenthood. They still might win their money back if an activist judge can be found to hear the case.

At one point in time I read/saw on TV that Planned Parenthood stated that abortions were not performed in their facilities. This article says otherwise. Hmmmmmo
Too bad the Girl Scouts got involved with them. I won't be buying any cookies either, and I might just say why to the Moms.

I will not vote for Obama, but neither will I vote for Romney, or stay home. Neither cares for the rule of law (see Romney's false win in Nevada 4 years ago, and then his comments in Iowa). Therefore, a vote for either is a vote for attrocities, just with different actors, different victims.
I intend to write in Ron Paul. But if Republicans do get Obama, they have nobody but themselves to blame, for they actually disbelieve in freedom, and are slaves to their own wicked desire for power over others.

Kudos to North Carolina. They stood up to the machine of death. They are standing for LIFE!

Planned parenthood and its sadistic knight Barack Obama are showing their hand.

To all fellow catholics. I implore you to vote for FREEDOM.

A vote for Obama is a vote for the dismantling of America. A vote for Obama is a death sentence to children in the womb or a botched abortion.

A vote for Obama is a vote for his homosexual agenda.

A vote for Obama is a vote for sexual perversion

A vote for Obama is a vote against Freedom of Religion.

I implore you to not rob my daughter of her God given right of Freedom of Religion.

I implore you to not force your fellow catholics to perform abortions.

I implore you to not force fellow catholics to purchase immoral health insurance that kills children.

I implore you to read between the lines of the Social Justice croud and vote for FREEDOM!

If you cannot vote for Romney, please stay home.

Fellow catholic, I implore you to not turn your back on the teachings of your faith.

Fellow catholic, this repentent sinner implores you!!

Since when does a State (or the Feds) have an obligation to fund Planned Parenthood? Since when does Planned Parenthood have a "Right" to do what is always and everywhere wrong-- and to other peoples money to do it! Yes, the word needs to get out re. the abortion-indoctrination of the Girl Scouts! And what Jesus said about those who cause/lead children to sin? (Mt 18:6, Mk 9:42)

Although I'm from Ohio I'm very proud of the people from NC who pulled the funding from a murderous private group like planned parenthood. It should never been funded by tax dollars anyway. Also I think directing the funds to the local health depts. is the right and fair way to go. Americans are tired of special interests groups like planned parenthood directing social policy by using tax dollars. If they want to do abortions let them pay for it themselves. It's a shame about the Girl Scouts becoming a front for abortionists. It wasn't lost on me that the 6 blacks who live in my apartment building brought the Girl Scouts in to sell cookies. Those 6 women are rabid supporters of Obama so I wonder if some of that money goes to support his campaign or to support planned parenthood. My intention is not to be racist but it seems many blacks will support anything Obama supports, from abortion to same-sex marriage. I feel sorry for them because they have entered into a new form of slavery wherein their own children will suffer. Sad.

Since Planned Parenthood infiltrated the Girl Scouts of USA so they could indoctrinate and warp the young minds of future American women with their filth, my family has cut all ties with the Girl Scouts. My wife and I were long time members, volunteers and supporters, but could not see how any association between these two groups could result in a wholesome outcome for any Girl Scout. We now no longer attend any of their events, buy their cookies and limit interaction with their partners.
Any service (other than abortions) that Planned Parenthood offers the public in any state, can be more than adequately handled by the local county health departments when the state funding is directed to them.

Kind of proves the point about just how much banned parenthood really cares for women--not at all; only their money.

Hired killers who make a living by tearing unborn children limb from limb and the damage to the mother is also immense. What sort of mind does this heinous crime against humanity?
