The people Planned Parenthood reaches out to don't have family doctors they've been seeing for years that they can confide in whether they're covered by Obamacare or not. These kids know that Planned Parenthood provides counseling for exactly their situations, they can reach out to PP without embarrassment or shame.
And stop invoking the Founding Fathers, they were extremely rational men that you insult with your irrational wacko belief that if they were resurrected from their graves that they would think and behave as if they were still stuck in the 18th century.

That is perfectly said.
This is an anti-abortion crusade. The entire abortion debate is one that has been fought. This battle the Republicans tried to wage is more of the same, and this lost yet again. Not only did they not stop funding for Planned Parenthood, but it seems the Republicans have failed to force a shut down of the government. They painted themselves into a corner again and no matter what happened they would have come out with mud on their face. Best case was no funding for Planned Parenthood, which would have resulted in millions of young woman having no place to turn to for ANY kind of prenatal medical treatment.
