Institutions that receive government funding shouldn't provide abortions.
They absolutely should. That's where it's needed most. All the pro-life arglebargle can suck it as long as Roe v Wade is valid.

Planned Parenthood is a healthcare provider for low-income areas. Their work is important.
Planned Parenthood has a billion dollar budget. The loss of $600,000 from a charity foundation was of minimal impact. This was a purely ideological fight by feminists using scare tactics and a bully pulpit to win.

There was no fight, public backlash ended the fight before it even began.

If you're consistent with that principle than every single religious charity should never receive federal grants because seperation of church and state.
Being religious shouldn't preclude them but if they try to teach or spread their religion then they should be barred from receiving public funding.

And if you're using that standard you'd also have to defund hundreds of hospitals around the country.. blah blah. That argument is madness.
It's not madness. The solution is simple and I already provided it.

Sure, I can agree with that assessment. But whatever you call it, it amounted to little more than an ideological slap fight between anti abortion elements and butthurt feminists.

Similarly, Komen gives out millions in grants and only gives a fraction of these to PP. If Komen redistributed this money it would most likely go to other organizations filling the same role, yet suddenly THIS ONE GRANT IS IMPORTANT!

No. I believe in the missions of both Planned Parenthood and Komen. I support reproductive rights and Planned Parenthood providing those services to underserved women. I also feel that Komen is a private charity and that men and women (donors) are far from unified in their views on abortion. I have no doubt that the decision was prompted by pro life factions within Komen. But its relatively small contribution to Planned Parenthood makes all of the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and overstated complaints painfully transparent to me. It was basically dogmatic feminists feeling threatened by dogmatic pro lifers. I understand it was public spectacle and that Remnant is just following the script.
