[The Planned Parenthood Tumblr blog made a post for LGBTQ Pride Month in June, affirming their support for that community.]
Planned Parenthood is an American corporation in business to make money. They understand that they must keep abortion legal to stay in business. That is why they are pandering to the LGBTQ community. They need an alliance with this community to allow them to continue killing little unborn boys and girls. As all things related to abortion, this logic is utterly twisted and self defeating for the LGBTQ community. This community relies on the heterosexual community to make more LGBTQ people. If they partner with Planned Parenthood, heterosexual offspring will continue to be slaughtered at a rate of over 1,000,000 children per year in the US alone, over 43,000,000 worldwide. Planned Parenthood's marketing strategy and coalition building skills are almost as good as their industrialized killing machine.

"They understand that they must keep abortion legal to stay in business. That is why they are pandering to the LGBTQ community."
Because gay couples get pregnant a lot and need lots of abortions. That's why fundies are so terrified of gays, because gays can reproduce, but with the number of atheists increasing, fundies have to recruit.
If I was cultureshift, I would have thought the gay community would push against , not for abortion.
But if I was cltureshift, I would not be as bright as needed to create this conspiracy theory.
Uh......huh?
At any rate, abortion accounts for only 3% of PP's services.
The million per year figure has been long debunked, but even if it were accurate, so what? And what would you do if faced with a million new poor children every year, and their mothers, who need support and services, but bitch about your tax money going to freeloaders?
Isn't the LGBTQ community the group least likely to need abortions?
Abortions make up about 3 percent of the PP activity, if I remember it correctly. They would probably manage to stay in business without that small part, but they genuinely want to help women deal with any and all reproductive and sexual problems.
The utterly twisted and self-defeating logic is all on your table, Shiftyculture.
A ban on abortions doesn't reduce the rate of abortions significantly, stupid. The only thing that happens is that more women die, and more women become sterile, from botched back-alley abortions.
What marketing strategy? Supporting equal rights? That's a good marketing strategy for ANY company that panders to the average public, and not just ultra-right-wing idiots.
If you REALLY want to reduce the abortion rates (and not just punish evil women for having as much sex as men do), make sure that contraceptives are cheap and easily available, see to it that all young girls are prepared for and get into an affordable higher education, and that all children (girls AND boys) have extensive sex-ed just before they hit puberty.
Gonna need to see a citation for that one. Nobody wants to make more LGBTQ people (Edit: lesbian separatist radfems are a borderline example), although plenty of people seem to want to make more cis- and heterosexual people. We shouldn't mess around with people's orientations and gender identities - but we should accept them all equally. They're all people, after all.
When it comes to making big money for devious purposes, no one takes a back seat to religion.
NO ONE.
Don't even pretend marketing isn't Christianities wet dream. Why else would the fundamentalists support the likes of Trump, the Koch brothers, Duck Fucking loser shit Dynasty and every large business going.
They're puppets OR partners with the all new, all American royalty.
Rush Limbaugh makes over 5 million a year for talking shit 3 hours a weekday a waddle away from his bedroom. They're fine with him. Donald Trump is worth less then he inherited years ago, but he's a "success" who they wouldn't dream to question, royalty n'all, dontchaknow.
Elton John, who earned every penny and whoms legacy will last beyond their losers, that's who they wish to be mad at. As Trump and Limbaugh gut their daddies pension, they really need to be mad 'bout dem gays.
They fucking got your number and own you so much.

"Planned Parenthood" is a term covering number of organizations. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the part that covers abortions, is a tax-free non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and therefore has no "owners" to whom they can distribute profits; so it's not in business to make money. Planned Parenthood also has a lobbying arm, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which is not a 501(c)(3) because it engages in political advocacy. The two separate organizations are forbidden to mix funds. The NRA has a similar non-profit/political arrangement, as do many organizations that engage in political action alongside their charitable activities.
That is not how PP, a non-profit, works. "Pandering" to the LGBT community to get them to have more abortions makes no sense, considering gay people don't seek abortion services so much. But LGBT people often have children of their own. Still PP could ignore the needs of the gay, queer, and trans community if all they're after are abortion. And it's not as if LGBT people are a separate species or something that can go extinct. As long as there are humans some of us will not be straight cis persons.
Also those numbers are totally made up at the end. There are only like 200 abortions performed for every 1,000 babies born. If PP is supposed to be a well oiled murder machine they really need to step up their game.

Yes, and Hobby Lobby is a religious Charity...
