Stephen Baldwin Speaks Out Against the Funding of Planned Parenthood ‘Why are We Giving Them the Food From Our Children's Mouths’
Actor Stephen Baldwin Speaks out against Planned Parenthood and post an article that blast the organization on the amount of funding received by taxpayers.
Baldwin took to his Facebook page Monday to share with followers his take on abortion and Planned Parenthood.
"And that begs the question, 'If they don't need the money for the majority of their work,' why are we giving them the food from our children's mouths?" the actor posted along with an article describing the amount of taxpayer money associated with the organization that heads abortions.
"In the past four years, you and I gave Planned Parenthood $1,900,000,000," the articles lead, read. It went on to say that "1,200,000 children" are "executed in the wombs of their mothers" over the course of a few years.
The written piece stated that the projected number is not including the "1%" of abortions that happen through rape and incest in fact is focused on the "99%" of children aborted from what the article says "[their mother's womb is] the safest place they can ever be."
"When you average it out, we taxpayers for the last four years have more or less paid out $1600 per killed child to an organization that promises not one dime goes to the procedures from the tax-payer coffers," it continues.
By law, federal funding cannot be used for abortions, but some people in opposition of abortion have disputed that distributing money to Planned Parenthood for the facilitation of other medical services is "freeing up" the funds to be used for abortion.
Planned Parenthood has been noted saying that the money goes to "mammograms, and adoption, and other various medical/culturally needed resources."
But the town hall article is not buying it and apparently neither is Baldwin. Baldwin is an outspoken Christian and since turning to Christ in 2001 has dedicated his artistic talent to faith based films and projects.
