Are you referring to the Lemon test? It's pretty clear from the decision that it's limited to funding of religious organizations, and PP isn't a religious organization. Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty lose definition for "funding."

Its the Supreme Court's definition for "funding" religions.

Which religion has the text "thou shalt abort"?


Isn't that the "bitter water" from the Christian bible (Numbers 5:24)? XD

Abortion is murder based on someone's age so it definitely is a moral issue. Planned Parenthood should definitely be defunded.


It IS a moral issue. And THAT is exactly WHY PP should NOT be defunded! No federal funding goes towards abortions, so that is also a moot point (before it even gets brought up!). As for me personally- it isn't a choice that I would make in my personal life. For those women that must chose it, and those that donate the Stem cell tissue, those are lives not given in vain at least. Many lives have been given for far less/failures of humanity- which we often support and celebrate (i.e.- military service).


I wouldn't call it a moot point. Supporting a organization that kills babies even if


please please please please please don't strawman the issue of abortion. Fetuses aren't babies. A baby is already born. No one is supporting organizations that kill *fourth* trimester pregnancies, if you get my drift. This is not about post-birth killings.


Did you read my whole post? Many people view fetuses as human. That is the view that many people have. Thus it is an important moral issue that should be discussed. fetus = baby in terms of the value of life.


I did read your post, but that still doesn't mean that "fetus = baby". That's 100% explicitly wrong by any and all definitions. People might want to argue that the fetus is a human life, but calling it a baby is still the completely wrong stage of the human life cycle.

Im starting to smell a Trump/Cruz ticket seeing as the poll shows that they preformed the best in the debate and met with each other a while ago in private. Could become a good combo.
Please help me get in contact with the Pats organization because I'd love to personally deflate Tom's balls.

Lol maybe Trump is just lying about becoming a Republican so he can troll the whole party. He wins the election then says "Seriously this is the state of politics right now...you elected ME". Trump is actually a secret genius and is parodying the whole political system to show what a farce it is.

Good for Bernie.



He also got ~13k-20k new followers. Just by tweeting about the debate. Imagine if he was actually in one.

Are you drunker than I am? Bernie demolishes Trump in heads up national polls and tons of people still don't even know who he is.

A national poll says George W Bush has had a higher approval rating than Obama for the last 2 years. Does it mean anything? no.

Yes, when you're out of office and the propaganda fades your way, your numbers go up. Totally different than what I'm talking about though.

I dont know? The point is that if you funded the education part of a Catholic school the way PP is funded, SCOTUS would say you have violated the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment.

What is the argument again that the government funding PP is in violation of the establishment clause? Not sure I follow the logic there if that is what you are saying. For the sake of argument lets say the government does fund something that goes against peoples religious beliefs; if that is the case that doesn't mean the establishment clause has been violated.
