Planned Parenthood is complaining that cuts to their budget means people will have to pay for their own HIV tests; what a shame.
Kristv.com Reports:
Planned Parenthood Clients to Pay Out of Pocket for Testing
CORPUS CHRISTI – Officials with the local Planned Parenthood facilities say national cuts will have an impact on patients here in the Coastal Bend.
The agency says clients will now have to pay out of their own pockets to cover the costs for sexually transmitted disease testing.
Clients will have the option to set up a payment plan to take care of their bill.
HIV testing services cost $10. STD testing costs start at $79.
I am so tired of Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion machine telling me to “keep my rosaries out of their ovaries” or to “stay our of their bedroom and mind my own business,” but then they turn around and expect me to pay for these sexual activities with my tax money. Are you kidding me? I am supposed to be upset because someone has to shell out $10 bucks for an HIV test because they engaged in risky sexual activity?
I can already hear the first argument out of their camp: “What about a woman who gets raped? She need the tests” Yes, she does, and the hospital will provide those when she goes in. She does not need to go separately to a Planned Parenthood for those tests. That argument is nothing but a straw man to get around the real issue.
What is the real issue? The real issue is that they want to have as much sex with whoever they want to and they believe that sex is a “basic human right” which to them means you and I pay for it with our tax money. Then when the government-funded, Obama-mandated birth control does not work, the next basic human right, abortion, should also be free. All of this creates a nice cycle of sex, birth control, abortion and back to sex; all of this is funded by you and me even though we are told it is none of our business and to butt out.
Here is another way we can spin this using their logic:
I demand FREE apples, carrots and spinach for all Americans. It is said that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”; apples must be preventative medicine. Carrots must be preventative eye care. Popeye taught us that spinach is preventative against muscle deterioration. Using Obama’s birth control logic, it will save money in the long run to make these a basic human right and have the Government pay for them now so we are healthier. If our employers won’t pay for them we can just make apples farmers give them away free.
By the way, I have a great solution to the STD and HIV testing problem. I did it, many of my friends did it and we all never have to worry about these tests again. Get married, stay faithful, problem solved.

Have You Ever Had A Dream? How A Simple Idea Became A World Wide Life Saving Event!
In the spring of 2004, a student from McNeese State University asked me, “What can I do to work with other students around the country, in solidarity, to help end abortion?”
I hear things like that all the time from the students I speak to. “What can I do? I have ideas, but I don’t know what to do with them. Can I really make a difference? I’m just one person.”
When this student asked me, a spark went off in my head.
I replied, “What if we got students to not only act in solidarity with others, but also with the children that are dying every day?” As soon as I said it, I knew God had set something in motion inside of me.
The idea developed into what is know today as the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity. The premise of this day is to give up our voices in solidarity with those who have no voice and raise awareness with our silence about the abortion holocaust.
You may be asking yourself, why be silent if we want to be a voice? The silence actually causes such a huge stir on campus that abortion becomes the most talked about subject for days. It is also a solidarity event so we can spend time in prayer for those we are standing in solidarity with; the children in the womb.
When I started this event I was one person working from the basement of my home with a computer, a web site, and a small e-mail list that I had been collecting for a few months. I wasn’t really sure what could be accomplished with that, but I offered it to God and started sending out emails.
Now, something that started its first year as just a few thousand students from 300 campuses has grown into a world-wide outpouring of love and action. The Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity is in it’s 8th year, and every year we have students from thousands of campuses in dozens of countries stand together in solidarity. We have heard of hundreds of girls who have cancelled abortions because of this day every year.
Hearts are being changed, babies are being saved, and women are being spared the trauma of post-abortive pain. People are coming together in unity to promote a culture of life. Personhood is being restored on campuses across the nation.
I really cannot take any credit for the success of this movement. It is only God who grants us the power to do this. I was one person who listened to God and, through Him, acted on the vision He gave me.
If you have an idea, a vision or dream, don’t be afraid to stand up and let your voice be heard. Don’t doubt what you can accomplish with Christ. Don’t think that because you are just one person you can’t make a difference.
“I have a dream”–a statement powerfully spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and yet so much more than just words. He did not cower in the face of adversity. He spoke those words with passion and conviction. He challenged the world to stand up for the rights and equality of all men.
I, too, have a dream. I, too, will not cower in the face of adversity. I believe that, through Christ, we can restore personhood to the most innocent of our brothers and sisters: the children in the womb.
Today, 4000 of my generation will be silenced.
Today 4000 of my brothers and sisters lives will be ended simply because of their age.
Today, I will stand up and share my dream, my idea, and my vision with the world.
Will you stand with me?
