What on earth does that have to do with anything? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 01:47:42 AM
The bulk of its activities are focused on contraception, STI screening, and cancer screening, and it places a particular emphasis on providing reproductive health care to people who otherwise wouldn't have access.



A lot of that stuff can be pricey- I know quite a few girls who have benefited tremendously just from getting discounted services from there.


For every single murderer in history, that was only a small part of what he did. A man who has lived for four decades goes down in memory for all time as a murderer for a single digit number of homicides. This sort of arrogance on the part of liberals, who, because they have the mainstream media's ear, don't need to pay attention to other people's opinions, is what leads to attacks on abortion clinics and doctors. People who are opposed to abortion do so BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT IS MURDER! The fact that the destruction of innocent human life is just ONE of a wide-ranging array of activities and interests is a completely irrelevant criterion for the opponents of Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Ron Paul gets slammed for letting his name be associated with some writings of questionable content years ago, but for a liberal organization, heavily involved in a liberal issue, "it's just a small part of what they do." Everyone has to answer for their own actions. Period. The fact that they were founded to sterilize the black race out of existence - oh, no. That's no longer relevant. That they used to advise women to douche with Lysol - why would ANY women's health advocates have a problem with such a group? But religious education still has to contend with the fact that some backwoods, under-educated preachers in the medieval era were associated with the Flat-Earth society of their time. Companies today are still hounded about the fact that they sold computers to the Nazis, but Planned Parenthood goes by the same name under which the KKK praised them, and these sordid details of their history are allowed to die out. They are caught on tape giving practiced, experienced counsel on how to get around the laws against sex trafficking, but anyone who opposes them is "anti-woman." As far as I am concerned, take away those functions of the female anatomy with which PP is so involved in, and you have smaller, weaker, less rational men, who coast along under the protection of a hypocritical racket that lets them pass the consequences of their irresponsible behavior onto the rest of us. "My body, my choice," then pay for your own damn birth control, abortions, child care and educations. Your body, your choice, but the taxpayer picks up the bill. Who can blame a charitable foundation intended to support innocent female victims for backing out on supporting a group that victimizes the rest of society on behalf of irresponsible & selfish women.

The most annoying part is in the sixth paragraph- abortions are only a small part of their thing - 02/02/2012 05:08:07 PM 1083 Views
I agree. - 02/02/2012 05:20:17 PM 995 Views
I can understand it though. - 02/02/2012 05:45:55 PM 1054 Views
I can too, it just isn't for me. - 02/02/2012 05:58:33 PM 965 Views
Actually, there are longer-acting forms of birth control than the pill. - 03/02/2012 12:37:42 AM 978 Views
I do think that preventing abortions is their primary goal. - 03/02/2012 01:08:05 AM 941 Views

You're taking an issue of objective facts and treating it like a day of playground gossip. - 09/02/2012 03:47:06 AM 965 Views
No, your source, in which there is very little that is objective, did that for me. - 11/02/2012 02:59:45 AM 988 Views
I see you have continued to provide no factual arguments. - 14/02/2012 04:53:28 AM 1224 Views
I presented factual rebuttals. - 19/02/2012 01:56:45 AM 1016 Views
You continue to miss the point. - 23/02/2012 10:22:24 PM 1107 Views
Well, yes. - 04/02/2012 11:14:47 PM 1026 Views
A silent majority may as well not exist, if it has no tangible effects. - 05/02/2012 12:54:34 AM 970 Views
You ignoring it is not the same thing as it having no tangible effect. - 05/02/2012 02:11:36 AM 1064 Views
Ignoring what? You haven't shown me anything solid. - 05/02/2012 05:25:23 AM 964 Views
It's ok, we're done. *NM* - 05/02/2012 09:29:05 AM 588 Views

Do you see a way Komen could have avoided pissing off one side? - 02/02/2012 06:55:36 PM 972 Views
No, I don't. I don't believe I said that? - 02/02/2012 07:53:50 PM 880 Views
You didn't; I inferred it from the way you phrased that ("if she HAS to..."). Sorry. - 02/02/2012 08:06:11 PM 962 Views
