Quite different. Most of all Planned Parenthood spending goes towards STD prevention and treatment, cancer screening, contraception and women's health.

How much does PP spend on political influence?

That's the point.

Why is that interesting?

They spent 1.9 million in 2011 but most years it's around 500K.

Over the past decade that represents about 1/2 of a percent a year. Not a lot...

I don't think that 500k is an average since 2009 , is it???
I find it interesting because Obamacare encompasses quite a bit of money for them doesn't it ?

Let's get back to the case at hand .
The blatant use of the IRS to target Tea Party groups .

"Most of all Planned Parenthood spending goes towards STD prevention and treatment, cancer screening, contraception and women's health."

As usual, you ignored the things that make Planned Parenthood look repugnant, God forbid you tell the whole truth. You seemed to have forgotten lots of abortions, and a willingness to help organize international prostitution rings of under-aged girls. How does that one jive with the concern for women's health?

I didn't ignore anything, only about 3% of their services are abortion related.

As for prostitution, you really need to read a little more...

Planned Parenthood, a perennial protest target because of its role in providing abortions, has notified the FBI that at least 12 of its health centers were visited recently by a man purporting to be a sex trafficker but who may instead be part of an attempted ruse to entrap clinic employees.

In each case, according to Planned Parenthood, the man sought to speak privately with a clinic employee and then requested information about health services for sex workers, including some who he said were minors and in the U.S. illegally.

Planned Parenthood's vice president for communications, Stuart Schear, said the organization has requested an FBI probe of the man's claims and has already fielded some initial FBI inquiries. However, Schear said Planned Parenthood's own investigation indicates that the man has links with Live Action, an anti-abortion group that has conducted previous undercover projects aimed at discrediting the nation's leading abortion provider.

Oh, I see...so Planned Parenthood wasn't concerned (nor are you concerned) that its employees were willing to advise on how to run a ring of 8 year-old prostitutes. What's really important here (to you and PP) is that someone posed as someone else, and came in with a hidden camers.

Spence, who gives a sh*t what group that camera crew is linked to? Did you see the videos? The issue here, the only issue, is that a multitude of PP employees gave prostitution advice, instead of calling the police.

SO instead of admitting they have a scandal on their hands, PP (and you, of course) try to pretend that the real issue is wih the camera crew.

Have you no shame? None at all?

P.S., we are all still waiting for your evidence that special forces troops weren't sent into Libya, because the Libyans didn't want us to send them. I am all atwitter with anticipation...

Actually, they called the FBI.

Well we know the President isn't involved because he said today he just
found out about it Friday.
He also said, even though the IRS confessed already,"if this a fact" it is outrageous and needs to be dealt with.

What's this, the Associated Press reporters have been wire tapped
by the Justice Dept. ??

"Actually, they called the FBI"

They called the FBI to report the camera crew that set up the sting. They didn't call the FBI to come arrest their employees who were so casually complicit, some joking around, about aiding in prostitution.

Somehow, Planned Parenthood sees themselves as the victim here. Neither they, nor you, will utter a syllable about what their employees did.
