Arizona legislators have completed action on a bill to bar use of any public money from being funneled to Planned Parenthood because it provides abortions.
The prohibition approved by the Senate Tuesday would affect funding for family planning and preventive care services. The House approved the bill previously.
Arizona already bars use of public money for abortions, but supporters of the bill say the broader prohibition is needed to make sure that no public money indirectly supports abortion services.
Planned Parenthood says the ban would disrupt services for some 19,000 women.
Similar prohibitions in other states have spurred court challenges.

6,000,000 Abortions (killing of viable human fetuses) 99% caused by the failure of the couple to prevent conception. Condoms are cheap, about the cost of a large malt. Women can chose from dozens of contraceptive devices or medications. Why should "STRANGERS" pay for taking care of the consequences of other's intimate relations through their ....TAX-DOLLARS.
NO MORE ARIZONA TAX-DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THE KILLING OF INNOCENT LIVES.

Leon Ceniceros’ precise expression covering the main points and without wasted words: “NO MORE ARIZONA TAX-DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THE KILLING OF INNOCENT LIVES”.
The Arizona legislation, to protect taxpayers and women from Planned Parenthood and the violence of abortion, follows on the heels of funding restriction legislation in other states; include Indiana, Kansas, and Texas – whose actions have sparked federal reprimand and lawsuits.

Both of you tend to be hypocrites since neither of you have adopted any of the 11,500 unwanted children in Arizona and counting. Back up your convictions and lighten the load on us taxpayers. In the meantime, I will make a donation to Planned Parenthood which does a lot more than pregnancy terminations.
PS: Since I have moral and religious convictions against seeing my tax dollars diverted for the private school education of our flat earth religious zealots, I want my taxes refunded to me.

It's amazing how the holier-than-thous always point to one specific area of something they disagree with and then proceed to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". PP does a lot more than abortions, but to these 100% pure and holy individuals, that is not important. My donation to PP will triple this year. Unless you have actually put in the paperwork to adopt one or more unwanted babies, then you need to shut your mouth because you're jsut a hypocrite.
