Here's an idea for all the hand-wringing GOP strategists in Washington wondering what it will take to win back disgusted economic and social conservatives: How about a Republican presidential candidate who will talk about the tax-subsidized abortion industry the way McCain talks about the oil industry?
In April, the annual report for Planned Parenthood Federation of America revealed that the abortion giant had a total income of $1.02 billion -- with reported profits of nearly $115 million. Taxpayers kick in more than $336 million worth of government grants and contracts at both the state and federal levels. That's a third of Planned Parenthood's budget.

Planned Parenthood is the country's biggest abortion provider, sure, but it also provides women's health services, contraception and sex ed. In some parts of the country, it's the only organization that does. You want to cut into its "profits"? Take away its monopoly. When women can get affordable and reliable birth control and health screening more easily, Planned Parenthood will lose some of its importance.
Actually, she's probably less interested in cutting into its profits or taking away its monopoly than in abolishing it altogether. She probably also objects to her taxes funding this particular incarnation of Murder, Inc.
thank you, kind sir, i couldn't have written it better myself.
Anytime.
