The Protect Life Rule is in line with most Americans’ beliefs, according to recent polling, as 83 percent of the American public is against taxpayer funding of abortions — and if federal funds are going toward facilities which also offer abortions, then those funds are also supporting abortion. The video below explains this principle, known as fungibility:
In the past, when abortion corporation Planned Parenthood polled the public on whether or not Americans supported defunding Planned Parenthood, the poll questions inaccurately and deceptively claimed that taxpayer funding that goes to Planned Parenthood does not go towards abortion. But this deception is not new. Planned Parenthood has been known to mislead the public on multiple issues; former CEO Cecile Richards even claimed for years that if the abortion giant’s funding was cut off, women would be denied mammograms — but was then later forced to admit under oath that Planned Parenthood does no mammograms and doesn’t even have mammogram machines at their facilities.
