I agree that corporate taxes are out of whack. Let Ireland fight foreign wars. I'd just as soon save the expense.

I agree with this sentiment, but I think that, while sure, not
absolutely necessary, the proactive benefits of organizations like Planned Parenthood are extremely valuable. I mean, the most obvious things that PP does is help prevent unwanted childbirths and helps to lessen/stop the spread of STD's. I'd say for the health of our citizens...current and future -- it's a pretty important thing to fund.
I think the problem is the seemingly faulty prioritization with what we're cutting and what we're not. Defense budget is where drastic cuts need to be made first IMO.
