Planned Parenthood requires security guards, not funding cuts.

The US Senate is once again voting on repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which includes a defunding bill for Planned Parenthood. I doubt there will be an amendment that spends funding for armed guards to Planned Parenthood sites.

The man charged with killing (click here) three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has targeted the agency before, his ex-wife said Tuesday.
Robert Lewis Dear, 57, could face the death penalty if he's convicted in Friday's attack, in which a police officer and two civilians were killed during a siege lasting five hours. Law enforcement officials told NBC News that after he was arrested, Dear talked about "no more baby parts" in reference to Planned Parenthood....


The Kentucky economy is expected to average about 138,000 job openings annually between 2012 and 2022. (click here)

...One-third of new jobs created between 2012 and 2022 will be in one of three very large occupational groups. 
Employment in three major occupational groups — Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations, Office and Administrative Support Occupations and Sales and Related Occupations — will grow 22.5, 10.1, and 8.5 percent respectively between 2012 and 2022, and will add the most new jobs over the ten-year period.  (See page 6, Table 1.)  These three major groups are expected to provide about 33.6 percent of total job growth from 2012 to 2022
....

According to this table in the same report the jobs added in the healthcare fields carry the majority of jobs created in Kentucky through 2022. When Majority Leader Mitch McConnell states there are no jobs generated from the ACA, he is grossly lying. Not just a little white lie, but, a huge lie that will cause enormous contraction of the Kentucky economy.  Should the political grandstanding taking place in the US Senate today actually become law, there would be a recession across the USA that would fall third to the Great Depression and second to the 2008 Global economic collapse.

Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations is 22.5 percent job growth in Kentucky through 2022. Healthcare Support Occupations comprise 23.0 percent of the Kentucky economic growth. Personal care and Service Occupations provides 15.7 percent of the job growth in Kentucky to 2022.

If the Obamacare bills were passed  into law by the majority Republican House and Senate two thirds of the jobs in Kentucky to 2022 would be impacted and the state would fall into economic depression.

If any US House Representative or US Senator were to examine the same factual evidence in their state, the same outcomes would mirror that or Kentucky. The US Congress cannot afford to allow the ACA to be repealed. They are once again using the power of the Congress to carry out political objectives. They are in ethical violations of the Congress. EVERYONE of the Congressmen or women stating there is negative impact of the ACA are unethical due to their lies AND are practicing politics at the cost of taxpayer dollars.
