I think Christian churches should be divided into separate organizations.That way, their public works would remain tax exempt, and the rest of their endeavors would be subject to taxation.
But no, many Christians want to enjoy state-sponsorship of their superstition while being able to funnel unlimited amounts of resources into political activities.
This is a great idea. Think of the high billions the government would recoup which can then be used to build roads, fund schools, feed children etc.

That doesn't change the point I was making.
Sure it does. Who are you to suggest that a 100-year-old nonprofit organization should do things differently just to satisfy your superstition? Would your church even consider making changes to the way it does things to satisfy people who do not even go there? It is a completely ridiculous suggestion.

Moreso a practical one that if people want the other services Planned Parenthood provides to not be under threat of defunding due to the contempt roughly half of the politicians in this country have for abortion, then maybe having those services affiliated isn't the best way to go about protecting those other services. If the financial threats Planned Parenthood face are due to its affiliation with abortion, how is the notion of separating abortion out to protect those other services so absurd?
It is absurd because federal funds do not pay for abortion services already, so their funding for other services should not even be in question.
The problem here is not with how Planned Parenthood is organized, it is with lawmakers who are looking for an excuse to legislate them out of existence, because they are the largest abortion provider in the U.S.
So they want to hold funding for other services hostage unless they give in to their demands.
"We are going to harm women by withholding funding for their health services, unless you agree to harm women by ceasing to provide health services we do not agree with."

Surtur's hardcore, that's for sure. Killing babies no problem, as long as his (lol, I know) tax dollars don't go into it.
I mean, in this country we go with this "If it's muh baby I can kill it". Well hell, if it's your baby you can pay for it too.
Of course that doesn't address the crazy batshit insanity of "if it's murder depends on who does the killing" but hey, baby steps(pun intended).

It seems like you're once again talking without the facts to back up your assertions, you should really stop doing that.
