"Planned Parenthood's Mission." You keep saying these words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Case in point: "There were federal and state pass-through grants that were awarded to Planned Parenthood for BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING, as well as a 'HEALTHY BABIES INITIATIVE,'" Handel wrote. "Since grants like these are from the state I'LL ELIMINATE THEM AS YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR." (Caplocks added for WTF THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ABORTION emphasis)

FYI - being against abortion, doesn't mean you have to be against Planned Parenthood. Just like being against the War in Afghanistan - which your tax dollars also help fund - doesn't mean you're against America.

So... she would rather a great deal number of women be unable to be tested for breast and cervical cancer, than allow an organization to do these things simply because they also happen to support abortion.

That just... I cannot wrap my brain around that. I get she's (scary, ridiculously) pro-life, but you'd think she'd want to try and work with them on this. I mean, wouldn't someone who donates how much to breast cancer be happy that an organization is willing to screen women who can't afford to be screened? They aren't judging people. They aren't going "oh, you're pro-life? You're against abortion? Sorry, we can't help you." Abortion isn't playing into their minds at all. It's not making her look good to go "they're trying to help people, but they're pro-life, so I'm going to make sure they can't help people. Sucks to be you, poor people!"

It doesn't even make sense.
