That's my point. That if it is a service they can't or won't give up, which


I can respect and applaud, then it isn't "just 3%" of what they do. And if it's something they can't or won't give up, yet doesn't benefit from Govco funding as they claim, and the law prohibits as I understand it, they need to find out what they can keep doing without the Govco assistance. Those services that may have to be cut for PP to continue surviving without Govco dollars will flow to organizations that don't do abortions as will the Govco dollars (no spending was getting cut by this bill).

I suspect we mostly agree on this topic. For the record I'm very pro-choice and am much more disgusted by the back door legislation trying to make abortion service providers illegal or unviable than I am by the "defund PP" movement. And the irony might be that if PP were to come out and say "OK, we're giving up this funding because we believe providing these services is more important to our mission", they may very well see their increase in contributions far exceed this funding just because so many people would agree those services need to continue.
