As the debate over Planned Parenthood’s public funding intensifies on Capitol Hill, here are five important talking points to consider when discussing the issue:
1. Planned Parenthood is America’s biggest abortion chain, committing over 34 percent of abortions in the United States. According to its own 2014-2015 annual report, the corporation committed 323,999 abortions last year — that’s 887 abortions a day, or one abortion every 97 seconds.
2. Planned Parenthood lies about the scope of health care services it provides. The abortion giant only does 0.97 percent (less than 1%) of all Pap smears and 1.8 percent of breast exams in the United States. Planned Parenthood does not offer any mammograms, which President and CEO Cecile Richards was forced to admit to before Congress, contrary to previous claims. In addition, prenatal care is virtually non-existent at its facilities, as are ultrasounds for pregnant women who want to keep their babies. In contrast, it commits over 34 percent of abortions in America.
3. By redirecting taxpayer dollars away from Planned Parenthood, it would mean that the over 13,000 federally qualified health centers and community health clinics, which outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities 20 to 1, would receive funding instead. These clinics are more accessible and offer comprehensive health services and holistic care for women and their families, while not committing abortions – making these clinics far more worthy of our tax dollars.
4. Planned Parenthood is a scandal-ridden corporation. In addition to lying and misleading the public, Planned Parenthood has been exposed for its gruesome fetal parts harvesting practices. It has also been caught covering up sex trafficking and statutory rape, condoning sex-and race-based abortions, giving medically inaccurate information about fetal development, and coaching kids on risky sexual practices. The corporation promotes its abortion-first ideology at all costs — even lobbying for infanticide and against protections for babies with Down syndrome and disabilities.
5. Planned Parenthood and its supporters emphasize that federal funds are not legally allowed to be used for abortions; however, money is fungible. With its over $500 million in taxpayer funding, Planned Parenthood is able to free up expenses to expand facilities (and therefore abortions), lobby lawmakers, spend millions to elect pro-abortion candidates, etc. For example, Planned Parenthood spent over $30 million dollars to elect pro-abortion candidates in the 2016 Election.
When the facts are considered, there should be no question that Planned Parenthood should be completely and permanently defunded. It’s time for Congress and President Trump to end taxpayer subsidies to the abortion corporation.

Why I Support the 2019 Lion King Remake
I've always enjoyed the Lion King fandom, and until now I've considered it to be one of the few positive fandoms out there. Sure, you'd find the odd rabid fan of Kopa (Simba's non-canon lost son), but you'll get rabid fans in any fandom, (and there are plenty of Kopa fans who are completely normal, in case anyone here thinks I'm slamming on Kopa fans as a whole). But overall the fandom has been open to everyone, everyone is allowed to enjoy any characters and almost any head canons they want, OCs are welcomed, and people enjoy seeing each other's fan art and fan fictions. The fandom even took The Lion Guard in stride for the most part, which
Bill Potts: Token Character or Frequency Illusion?
A few months ago, I had a conversation with someone about Bill Potts from series 10 of Doctor Who, and (putting aside political orientations regarding LGBT subjects), I mentioned her as an example of an LGBT character being presented as a normal human being. Personally, I genuinely liked Bill. I thought she was friendly, empathetic, had a short but decent character arch, and I loved the professor-student dynamic between her and the Doctor. But apparently this guy didn't share my sentiment. The guy exploded, saying Bill only existed to be a token gay character, that she "brought up her sexuality every five minutes," that she was an unreali
No Words
I feel like I should say something about the pro-abortion law recently passed in New York, as well as the Virginia governor's statements, but I honestly have no words.
For those who don't know, New York recently passed a law which, in essence, legalizes partial-birth abortions, decriminalizes the killing of unborn children for any reason, and also allows non-doctors to perform abortions at all stages of pregnancy. The excuse is "if the mother's health is in danger or the fetus is not 'viable,'" but the wording of the law is extremely vague, leaving the determination entirely up to the abortionist, who now doesn't even need to be a doctor.

My Thoughts on MLP G5
Please note that it's difficult to figure out what's real and what's not when it comes to leaks. Hasbro are the only folks who know for sure what's going to happen. There is a lot of art going around being called concept art that may have been made by fans, but we can take a look at the commonalities to figure out what might be real. And as always when it comes to leaks: there really is no such thing as a reliable source unless you get it straight from Hasbro, so take everything I say here with a grain of salt. I could be completely wrong about all of this! And of course, I'll be expressing my personal opinions here and you don't have to agre

People defend Planned Parenthood by either saying they do more breast exams than abortions or they educate on sex ed... what?
