"Planned Parenthood"?

At least, the bullshit argument that since it was a legal right, that we should have to pay for it has been dropped.
I'll agree with that.
Anyone have an answer for why the government should provide funding to PP?
What comes to mind is that the federal and state governments are there to protect the general welfare of the citizenry. Polio was eradicated in our country by government subsidies, for example. There are some really interesting graphs online that show the number of children given to orphanages and foster care plotted against crime rates. The data shows that after Roe v Wade the number of children who were abandoned decreased and there was a long-term drop in crime. Anecdotally, if you look and movies and TV shows pre and post the number of storylines about a child being taken in by other family members have all but disappeared. If true, that's a public good.
Healthcare has not been/is not a right in the US, so low-cost options like PP served a purpose for lower-income women providing pap smears, breast exams, etc. That's also a public good. If the US does ever get national healthcare, there's a good argument it should defund PP.

Let's drop the "health" argument as that's done through various outlets, including health clinics for the poor run by cities and counties.
When we lived in Houston, I used to take a friend with HIV to the city health clinic in our "area" of town. That clinic provided services for anyone who was poor. If you needed hospital treatment, they sent you to the county hospital. Same thing in Chicago. My hometown turned the old hospital into a medical center for the not so well off. You pay on a sliding scale, based on ability to pay.

As I've previously mentioned, there's the video of the vaginalist being questioned by Congressman Trey Gowdy in a Congressional hearing. She admitted that PP is not needed as it's services are available through other means. She also grudgingly admitted that PP is a problem in abortion funding because it's a flashpoint on the topic.

If you listen to black identitarians, you will hear how abortion is genocide against blacks because of the high abortion rates for blacks compared to other races. Of course, they blame whites for the rates of abortions by blacks.

Crime rates have been declining. That is true. HOWEVER, it doesn't match abortion rates.
If you look at year on year crime rates, then compare that to the years abortions have been legal and a number of abortions, you will see that crime rates kept going up after Roe v Wade.
In 1960, violent crime rates were much lower than they have been since. 1990 - 1994 were the years with the highest violent crime rates. That's 20 years after RvW.
Between 1973 (RvW) and 2002, violent crime rates spiked. Only 1974 and 1975 had lower violent crime rates, but barely. Oddly, 1975 had an overall spike in crime rates, but a minor drop in violent crimes.
Even with the current downward trend of violent crimes, it's still more than double that of 1960.
I'm betting that you looked at the Justice Department's graph on violent crime since RvW. Of course, you would still have to ignore the 20 years spike. You need to look at the longer graphs to get a true picture of the violent crime rates.
SO, DOES ABORTION LOWER CRIME RATES?! FUCK NO!!!

While the article is about the recent Texas church shooting, it brings up an interesting point that fits perfectly with this topic.
Under federal and military law (and some state laws), it's illegal to kill a fetus unless it's in your pussy. If it's in your own pussy, then you can stab the shit out of it with knitting needles all day long.
You don't want to be a mom, you can kill it. I don't want to be a dad, oh fucking well.
Hmm, I think I see an issue of gender equality that feminists need to fix. But you know they won't because they are vaginalists.

That really was interesting. Thank you.
And you win. Close PP.

I forgot about this!
In 38 of the 50 states, killing an unborn child is considered murder.
The loophole that allows abortion butcher doctors to kill babies is that they can kill the baby as long as the head of the baby is still inside the mother. They go to great lengths to turn the baby into position.. get the arms and legs out of the mother.. while leaving the head still inside.. then reaching in with a long scissors and snipping the brain stem… killing the baby. They do this because if the baby's head was not still inside the mother, the killing would be designated as a murder. (You can bet that quite a few babies have been killed after having been fully removed from the mother - but that is another topic).
Those 38 states that charge murder for unborn children need to stop doing abortions.
