This will be an interesting move for him politically. Trump is facing a huge gender gap. Per "thehill.com", 62% of registered women voters have said that they were unlikely to vote for Donald Trump's re-election in 2020. So, it's not like his support among women can get much worse than it already is. He might just think that he is better off keeping the evangelicals energized and shoring up the base (even though it isn't soft).

Most of the people who are so adamantly opposed to Planned Parenthood don't realize that their primary functions involve general health care, cancer screening and prevention, hormone therapy, infertility services and STD testing and treatment. Abortion and birth control account for a small percentage of the total services that they provide... the average conservative and evangelical probably thinks that is all that they do.

Possibly some think that. I want to know where in the Constitution does it say taxpayers are to fund all these services?
Either charge what you need or appeal for donations. Either way, get off the taxpayer teet.

It doesn't... but the amount of ignorance on the internet about what Planned Parenthood actually does is alarming... The Planned Parenthood location on Cherry St in Knoxville, for one example, does not even offer surgical abortions and yet, there are idiots who picket in front of it on a regular basis, voicing their opposition to abortion. If you are going to protest a place, shouldn't you at least know what it does first?

Yeah, i guess. Folks protest in front of owner operator chick fil a and not a corporate store.

PP should be off the taxpayer's dime no matter what services they currently offer.

I tend to agree with this. It just irks me when people protest things without getting all the information first. If your only source of news is the Fox News Channel, and other conservative outlets, you probably would think that performing abortions and handing out condoms and birth control pills is all they do there. For what it's worth, my older sister received fertility treatment from there. She had undergone chemotherapy treatment in the late 90's and was having trouble conceiving afterward. She was able to have a baby in 2003 before the cancer returned and killed her in 2010.

In 2017, planned parenthood aborted 911 babies per day average. So if someone wanted to protest abortion, planned parenthood is a great spot. Doesnt matter if that one particular location does or doesnt. No one is fooled by what planned parenthood is or does, and theres plenty more shady and disgusting things going on with them as well.

I have never been in one myself and will trust your numbers... but I would recommend not getting your info from conservative outlets, who have been known to let their political agenda skew their reporting just a bit.

You have a good relationship with her?

No, because I don't have a relationship with her dad... and never really did. The last time I saw her was on her 11th birthday, February 18, 2014. We are Facebook friends, that's about it. Thanks, for asking. You seem like a good guy.

Don't let my tender side fool ya. ;)

Perhaps as she ages, and is around her father less, you can reconnect for you, her, and to honor your sister.

I hope so... it's a shame. I have a 14 year old daughter and they were besties as little kids... could have grown up together if my sis had lived.

That's the thing with my kids too. Mcmom's siblings have no kids. My siblings have older kids. Plus, i chose to distance my kids from some of my family. Means no cousins to grow with. Kinda sad.
