Over and Over again, I read defenders of Planned Parenthood stating "abortions aren't the only thing they do. They do other things that are good, so we shouldn't cancel their funding". You really REALLY have to stop that. It is insulting to your intelligence and to the intelligence of everyone reading it.
Adolf Hitler did a lot of things in Germany. He didn't "only" kill Jews. He had a lot of great programs to reduce crime, get youth off the streets and stimulate the economy. Does that mean we should have funded him during the 1930s? No, because the murders he committed outweighed anything he might have done that might have been called "good". He had to be eliminated.
Before you accuse me of hyperbole, let's look at the numbers. The crime for which Adolf Hitler is most famous is the murder of approximately six million Jewish people in concentration camps during his reign. This crime stands on its own in making the Nazi government one of the most universally considered evil organizations of all time. But what about Planned Parenthood? They have performed over seven million abortions since the SCOTUS's Roe Vs. Wade decision. For those of us that agree with the consensus of biologists and medical doctors that an unborn person is a separate and unique human life, we see that as over seven million murders. Defenders of Planned Parenthood make the case that abortions are different from Hitler's murders. Yes, abortions are murders of even more defenseless and vulnerable people than the victims of Hitler's murders, so in that way, they are different.
There is a case to be made that Planned Parenthood is an evil organization of the same order of magnitude as Nazi Germany, Stalin's Kremlin, or Mao's Communist China. As you try to convince me that I should continue to silently allow the government to funnel money out of my paycheck to an organization just like Hitler's SS, stop trying to use the idea that they also do some nice things to make up for the murders of seven million innocent and defenseless people. It makes you sound like a ridiculous idiot.
