Planned Parenthood Care Chart vs. NPR Spending Chart

After last night's late budget compromise and extension, Planned Parenthood has been protected from any government spending cuts (so far). Yesterday, the Washington Post's Ezra Klein posted a graph from Planned Parenthood demonstrating what activities they perform (abortion is excluded from federal funding). For curiosity's sake, we thought we'd take a look at the spending chart of a program that recently had their government funding cut: NPR. Below is a comparison of Planned Parenthood's chart vs. (our best guess at) NPR's chart.

Again, the reason why the cons are going after Planned Parenthood is the same reason why they are attacking unions, NPR, education, voting rights, etc. They know the demographic trends do not favor them, so they are trying to stack the deck and destroy any organized resistance to their reactionary right and corporate agenda. They *know* Planned Parenthood is a good reproductive health outfit, and they *know* no federal money ever goes for any abortions, but they want to kill it because it is not part of their rabid base.
