Or as the CBO warns: Defunding Planned Parenthood Would Lead to Additional Births
Well, yeah, I don’t think anybody can argue with that. Because Planned Parenthood is aggressive in promoting abortion, at any time for any reason, “no apologies.”
Fewer babies ripped from the womb, many ‘sold for parts’…yep, without the tender “care” of Planned Parenthood, it’s almost certain there would be more infants allowed to be born. More persons (humans, you know) eventually allowed to make their own choices what to do with their lives.
That can be a horrifying thing for liberal abortion advocates to contemplate. One point the CBO disregards. Planned Parenthood’s donations are way up while they have been CLOSING CLINICS UNDER OBAMACARE . The wealthy libs, so concerned about the little people (the poor by and large have never clamored for abortion) will probably step-up the celebrity fund raisers and expand that already extravagantly privately funded abortion syndicate.
It’s a wealthy cynical eugenicist thing that brought legal abortion, they may miss some of the “other peoples money” thing that they like to use to pay for their predilections. They realize it also serves to inculcate them into the culture more thoroughly. They always feel superior to make you a part of it whether you want to be or not.
The babies saved will be those children of mothers not talked into abortion by Planned Parenthood (if Planned Parenthood abides by the law), ironically, call them the Planned Parenthood babies. But the truth is that funding for planned parenthood the concept won’t be reduced. Money for “birth control” is diverted by the proposal and other legislation to the vastly more numerous community health clinics providing women’s health care.
Those are just two aspects, increased private funding and dollar shifts from other legislation, that the ridiculously static CBO analysis fails to present. And we don’t like the health care bill, but we like the CBO even less.
The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) report on the House Republicans’ healthcare plan says the included provision to defund Planned Parenthood would result in “additional births stemming from the reduced access” to “services that help women avert pregnancies.”
The CBO report states:
To the extent that there would be reductions in access to care under the legislation, they would affect services that help women avert pregnancies. The people most likely to experience reduced access to care would probably reside in areas without other health care clinics or medical practitioners who serve low-income populations. CBO projects that about 15 percent of those people would lose access to care.
The government would incur some costs for Medicaid beneficiaries currently served by affected entities because the costs of about 45 percent of all births are paid for by the Medicaid program. CBO estimates that the additional births stemming from the reduced access under the legislation would add to federal spending for Medicaid. In addition, some of those children would themselves qualify for Medicaid and possibly for other federal programs.
However, if more Americans currently on Obamacare’s expanded Medicaid become employed, it is likely fewer Americans would be having the medical costs associated with their babies’ births paid for by fellow taxpayers.
The Republican plan calls for the elimination of federal funding for the nation’s largest abortion business for a period of one year. CBO estimates the provision would reduce direct spending by $178 million in 2017 and by $234 million between 2017-2026.
