They always make the following dishonest talking points:

1. Abortion is only a tiny part of what Planned Parenthood does, so by defunding them you are penalizing poor women needing cancer screenings.

This is nonsense, as you could easily strike a compromise where Congress funded Planned Parenthood provided they not offer abortions. It's a choice to tie abortion to cancer screenings, and one that is easily remedied.

2. Planned Parenthood receives no federal funding for abortions.

What does this even mean? They receive federal funding, period. Do they separate out the rent and utilities for abortion? Do they spin off the abortion section to a separate LLC that receives no funding from the parent? Of course not, it's all one entity and one pot. It's like giving $1 million to Paula Deen and saying you were just giving it to to the non-racist part of her, but she's assured you her racist side won't enjoy her new yacht.

3. Most egregiously, there is this argument that wanting to end abortion is anti-woman hate.

I realize our current media is killing our ability to empathize with others, but its pretty obvious why many people are against abortion. To dismiss it as being mad at women for having sex is stupid and glib. Furthermore, the most ardent pro-lifers are almost always women.
