Planned Parenthood

So I got tired of hearing all the negative comments on the House decision to end the federal funding of Planned Parenthood, and did some of my own research on it. For those of you completely horrified that Republicans could make such an "uninformed" decision as to end health care funding for those who can't afford it, do you know WHY? It's because of the video that was released a few weeks ago, and not just the one, but SEVERAL videos showing roughly the same thing from all across the country. I understand that they don't use federal funds for abortions, but if they're helping out those involved with sex trafficking, and using federal funds to do it, then shouldn't their funds be revoked for that? Planned Parenthood does provide health care for those in need, but so do a lot of other places. Why do they HAVE to keep their funding? why can't the money they're losing go to some other organization that won't abuse it?
