    Americans are divided on the issue of abortion. But at a minimum we should agree that no taxpayer should be forced to fund an organization that performs 3 abortions every 5 minutes with their tax dollars. This @USGAO confirms the need to #DefundPP.https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2018/03/08/gao-report-reveals-more-than-15-billion-in-taxpayer-dollars-went-to-abortion-providers-over-three-years-n2458871 …

        If we get to opt out of stuff we don't support, I'd like to opt out of drone strikes on civilians, please. After that, I'd like to opt out of funnelling taxpayer money to Trump's golf clubs. Please get back to me with how you'll be implementing these opt outs.

        You are disingenuous. No federal money is used for abortions. You know this. You are being deliberately misleading. If you truly care about reducing the number of LEGAL abortions, you would celebrate PLANNED Parenthood. We all know this isn’t really about abortions. Shameful!!!!!

        Can I opt out of funding anything I want? We DO NOT agree, at all. These numbers are a partisan lie. It has been stated over, and over, and over again that taxpayer funds given to planned parenthood do not fund abortions. Defunding planned parenthood will lead to more abortions

        Americans are not divided on funding Planned Parenthood though. A @KaiserFamFound poll last year found 75% of Americans support funding @PPFAhttps://www.kff.org/health-costs/poll-finding/kaiser-health-tracking-poll-aca-replacement-plans-womens-health/ …

        The truth? That disclaimer is more indicative that Americans have been snowed by politicians' talking points rather than the science and academic data. Consider your own bias when looking for a weak point or you might "own" yourself.

        Planned Parenthood, through it’s compassionate care and education, has prevented more abortions that any other organization or entity. And it must be understood that PP is not “given” fed funds—it is paid for providing necessary non-abortion health services.

        Separation of church and state. Religious liberty means that your religion doesn’t dictate my health care. Focus on saving the babies that are already born. #GunReformNow #NotOneMore @MomsDemand

        What a ridiculous claim..”at a minimum” we should expect our Congressional representatives to be honest with their constituents. Planned Parenthood makes better use of my tax dollars than most other organizations, your office included.

        It's called health care. Your religious beliefs should not dictate how women get health care and how it's funded. Also - start actually funding children once they're born (child care, education, health care, food, etc.), and we'll talk.

        Taxpayers are forced to pay for military-industrial buildup, for massive (not to mention racially biased) over-incarceration, for militarized police, and my point is maybe pipe down about "taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for things to which they object" because that's a thing.

        How do u blatantly state false data? Even if this was true, every taxpayer gives money to issues/agencies they don't believe in? Y draw the line here? Do u suggest taxpayers get to pick and choose where our taxes go? This is just about defunding PP b/c is your talking point

        So, are you taking out the portion of funding for all of the other services that PP provides? What % is preventative healthcare for women? General healthcare needs for those who don’t have the means? If you really want to be transparent and garner support then all of facts please
