'Great idea!' Variety's Emmy Party sacrifice helps prove why Planned Parenthood doesn't need taxpayer dollars

Planned Parenthood’s feud with the Trump administration has left them making “threats” like these:

For the first time in nearly 50 years, Planned Parenthood is being forced out of the Title X program, meaning people across the country who are already struggling to make ends meet might not be able to access the care they need.

By “forced out,” Planned Parenthood means they’ll refuse to accept funds because of changes to Title X rules. But Planned Parenthood shouldn’t worry, because others will have their backs:

Hey, if PP can get the media and most of Hollywood to step up, problem solved:

Good. They don’t need my tax dollars

Right?

Isn't this basically what opponents of federal funding for abortion want to happen? https://t.co/tHrEQjRTWF

Yes! Great idea!! Others please follow suite so @PPFA can fund THEMSELVES. ❤️??

Since the Title X appropriated funds specifically for abortions and abortion related treatment, Variety now publicly funds abortions. No more tax dollars doing this, and we will all be able to see who will. Great transparency for the American consumer?
