It isn't as if PP couldn't exist if not for taxpayer funding--they do very well.
Jay Richards, executive director of conservative news website The Stream said that "Planned Parenthood from the beginning has been the recipient of private charitable donations and foundation donations. If you look at all of the corporate donations they have, it's staggering. Even other nonprofits, like the Susan G. Komen foundation, which deals with breast cancer, give Planned Parenthood funding. And now, apparently, we have sex toy shops."
After the GOP kicked butt in the 2016 elections, PP received tons of support out of fear that the organization would dry up and they would have nowhere to go to kill their unborn baby if the Republicans were able to defund the abortion mill.
Among PP's giant benefactors is Vibrant, an adult toy shop based in Denver. The company's "sole mission" is to support PP with items such as dildos, vibrators, rings, edible undies, bubblegum bras, whoopie
The devices are priced from $20 to $220 and all the proceeds go to the local PP chapter.
"Having a partner like Vibrant is critical to our future," said Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of PP of the Rocky Mountains. They advertise Vibrant's line of sex toys on its social media accounts.
Nasty Woman Sex Toys (whose slogan is: "Resistance Never Felt So Good!") features a similar sex toy selection and donates 20 percent of its proceeds to PP.
"Nasty Women of the past fought for us, but it looks like the time has come that we will need to continue to fight the good fight," the store says on its website. But is it the 'good fight' or is it the immoral fight when a nasty woman decides to kill the life within her?
To make matters somewhat repugnant, Unbound, a sex shop that sells handcuffs and restraints, gives its customers the option to "send a vibrator to Congress and save Planned Parenthood."
For fifteen bucks, they will send a sex toy to a representative of your choosing and give 75 percent of the proceeds going to PP.
Craft Boner, an adult-themed arts and crafts shop sells, among other items, wrapping paper that says: "Santa doesn't care if you're a slut." It also has a "Support Planned Parenthood" line of sex-themed stuff such as "Sassy uterus" T-shirts and tote bags. They send 30 percent to PP of the Rocky Mountains and it's rumored (by a guy who calls himself Vinny Boombots) that Bill Clinton can often be seen frequenting the establishment "to support the cause."
For $1.99 PP patrons can download "Ooti the Uterus" emojis onto their smartphones. The playful reproductive organ can dance, lift weights and read a book. All of the money goes to PP.
"Ooti's here so we can celebrate this amazing reproductive organ as well as support the fantastic health service Planned Parenthood provides," they say. "All proceeds from Ooti will be donated to Planned Parenthood so they can continue offering accessible care to those who need it." Accessible care, but not for the health of the unborn baby inside you.
"The fact that there are these tongue-in-cheek sex organizations giving support to Planned Parenthood, frankly, in a weird way, is absolutely appropriate," said Mr. Richards, a researcher at The Catholic University of America's Busch School of Business and Economics. "Planned Parenthood is both an instigator and a recipient of the sexual revolution--the separation of sex and procreation at all costs, even through the death of the unborn. It makes perfect sense that lascivious organizations would give support to them."
Fundraising for PP goes beyond the sex industry, however. Once Trump came into office, fashion designers, musicians and unfunny comedian Samantha Bee helped raise money for PP.
All of this is proof that PP does not require government funding--it would do perfectly fine on its own.
