Copied verbatim from a previous post of mine:
__________
Come on.  If Planned Parenthood recieves federal money that they use for
expenses other than abortions, that simply means that other sources of
funding, which would fund those other services, can now be applied to
abortion-related expenses.

Allow me to illustrate. (Note that, for my own convenience, I am assuming
numbers, because I really don't want to do the research.  If you want to
find out the real figures, and then do the math, hooray for you.)

Let's assume that Planned Parenthood recieves ten million dollars
($10,000,000) in funding from the US government annually.  Since the Federal
Government's primary source of income is taxes, we assume for the purposes
of this illustration that the entire ten million dollars came from
tax-payers.

Let's also assume that Planned Parenthood also recieves, from all other
sources, ninety million dollars ($90,000,000) annually.

Now, assume that ALL of Planned Parenthood's annual expenses total fifty
million dollars ($50,000,000); and that the abortion-related expenses amount
to five million dollars ($5,000,000) annually.

If the government contribution is ignored for the moment, then five million
dollars from other sources are spent on abortions, and forty-five million
dollars from other sources are spent on all other expenses.  This leaves
forty million dollars left over at the end of the year.

Now, if we factor in that federal contribution, but stipulate that it cannot
be spent on abortions, then we get:
Five million dollars from all other sources spent on abortion-related
expenses.
Thirty-five million dollars from all other sources spent on non-abortion
related expenses.
Ten million dollars from the federal government spent on non-abortion
related expenses.
Fifty million dollars left at the end of the year.

Of course, the real figures are probably much messier, and probably show a
much narrower margin of profit (although I confess that I do not know, I
merely assume the profit margin to be smaller).  However, you get the idea:
government funding, although it cannot be spent on abortions, allows other
funds to be diverted towards funding abortions.

This isn't rocket science, it's common sense.
