Must watch video - congresswoman talks about Planned Parenthood's scam

This video is fantastic. It's a presentation by Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to an almost empty chamber, but that doesn't mean that it won't get any attention (I hope). It shows her rightfully slamming Planned Parenthood's non-profit status as a scam and a fraud, calling it both the Lenscrafters and Wal-Mart of abortion.

The amount of money that Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization, makes is unbelievable. Why they still are tax-exempt is beyond me. Here's the thing. For those of you who find abortion morally wrong and reprehensible, but don't want to inflict your views on anyone else, tell me why it is you should be forced to pay for women to get abortions. Feminists are always crowing about how abortion is all about choice, but I don't have a choice in the matter. I find abortion repugnant, and want absolutely nothing to do with funding them, but I'm forced to. It's incredible. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood is getting record profits every year. Why are they still considered non-profit?

If abortion is going to be legal, then it isn't something that should be taxpayer-funded, especially considering how many Americans are ardently against it. If Planned Parenthood wants to give out free or cheap abortions, then more power to them -- as long as the funding isn't coming out of my paycheck. That is a scam and a fraud just as Michele Bachmann says, and it should cease immediately.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

An amazing video, indeed.  :)   It's nice to see someone in Congress speak up about this travesty.  It's not right for an organization that is supposed to be NON-PROFIT, make millions upon millions in profits, while still taking money from us tax-payers. 

I really wish Congress and the IRS would do something about this BS.   :censored:  We all know the majority tends to turn the other cheek in regards to this, and it's time for that to stop.

I voted for Michelle.....

I've ALWAYS been against taxpayer funded abortions. I have no qualms if a woman wants an abortion and she pays for it (or the guy that got her pregnant, etc.)

Excellent video.  We need more like her asking the same types of questions.

How much of that cash is finding it's way into the pockets of politicians? It must be quite a bit because they are still in business and don't appear to be going anywhere. :banghead:
