Why would I believe anything that guy says when he immediately established himself as pro-life? He immediately calls abortions "killing babies". It's not killing babies to a majority of US citizens.
I could ask the same question .....why should I believe what you post from Wikipedia? Anyone can write almost anything there....at least the sources I cited are genuine "journalism" sites. And I don't really care that the "majority" you cite has been so desensitized and brain washed and become so morally bankrupt that they can dissemble and justify and contort reality into what suits them so they can engage in any activity they choose without consequence.
A fetus that is 1" long is not a baby yet and no amount of scare tactics by the pro-life movement is ever going to change that or convince people.
You are now the self anointed arbiter of what is and is not a "baby"?
Of course planned parenthood is an abortion clinic and they do abortions. So ******* what? Where do you think abortions happen? Mars? They have to happen somewhere.
Whether or not abortions "have to happen" is debatable.....but I do NOT want my money used to pay for what I consider to be murder.
And why would I go to a place called "Planned Parenthood" to do a breast exam? Do my breasts have anything to do with "Planning" or "Parenthood"? People go there to discuss sex, contraception, pregnancies, reproductive health and choices.
Hey, PP is the origin of that excuse, not me.....they use it as a source of plausible deniability for being an abortion factory so ask them that, not me.
I guess what is getting in your crawl ( or craw I suppose) is not abortions but now the MONEY for abortions. Damn right it's part of it.....see above. That seems to be the new pro-life policy to control the rights of woman to terminate their pregnancies (most of which happen in the first 12 weeks). So even though it's a medical procedure and even though a LOT of medical procedures are fiscally subsidized by the federal government for poor people, abortions can't be. Why? If it's legal, why isn't it the same as a pap smear or a breast exam or a medical required hysterectomy or a cancerous mole removed? It's only different do YOU.
You tell me.....shouldn't 'bamacare make PP moot? I mean everything's free now for everyone, right?
And no one is giving away abortions for free. Everyone still has to pay. You're bitching because maybe a $400 abortion might end up costing $600 if other things happening in the building aren't also being paid for by the government (like the pap smears and the breast exams and the free contraceptives and the consulting) and helps cover the overhead and salaries of all the people working there. And you still don't understand what I'm bitching about? That's a bullshit way to tackle the issue. Of course it makes sense for all those things to happen under the same roof. And if the building gets money for one issue it might *** gasp *** help lower the costs of abortions. Stop the world!!!
And that's the kind of underhanded non-compromising way politicians are doing things now that is driving America crazy. If you can't get the votes you want for your issue, write bullshit laws that restrict the money. It's a fiasco that both sides are doing and it's one reason no one likes everyone in congress. They just don't know when to quit on an issue and say what's done is done and move the **** on. Both sides are moaning more about what laws they want to appeal rather that talking about ways to improve things. Makes great sound bites, but it's a load of horseshit.
