Here I sit wondering whether my surgery scheduled for Monday and Tuesday will be paid for by Medicare. Asked all involved.

Planned Parenthood funding is a ruse. It has nothing to do with saving money. It has nothing to do with abortions, which are already prohibited as a use of government funds. It's about getting know-nothings in charge of the government; to be precise, white, male, Christian know-nothings who watched TV westerns as boys and are longing for the 19th Century or at best Leave it to Beaver.
