Recent stings have shown workers ignoring the fact that a "client" had been involved in what constituted statutory rape, focusing only on abortion. My belief is that if a crime is committed, then that should be included in the focus. Another showed a "pimp" discussing taking care of his girls. Again, the focus was on abortion, not trying to save these 14 year old girls from a pimp. Presented this way, all PP does is promote abortion. Which isn't the case.

History showed that PP was all for eugenics and cleansing out the bad elements of the world, including mentally handicapped people. Does it still? I doubt it but don't know.

I would think that rather than have a knee jerk reaction to these videos we should focus on weeding out the zealots within the organization who focus on one aspect rather than condemn the whole group. And should PP choose to defend those people well that doesn't speak well for those in charge.

Stings? You mean like Andrew Breitbart stinging Shirley Sherrod?

There is no way PP trains or condones its employees to ignore crimes being committed against children/minors. No way. The PP worker who didn't notify the police was fired.

If the standard is 100% perfection or no tax dollars then all the military contractors must be hereby cut off from our taxes.

Just posted something on the Rush Hudson thread about Limbaugh concerning Planned Parenthood and the Klan. Don't wish to cross post.

As for me and my house, I choose life.

Though some might not know it via the way you reply this is twice in one day we sort of agree, glit. LOL.

I don't think funding should be cut either. I just think that no matter what the organization, we need to look closer as to what they're doing and when someone is found doing wrong get rid of the problem. Kind of like getting rid of the bad apple instead of the whole bushel.

And i agree with you too kirby.

Is the wanning crescent moon affecting us all today?

Whoa this must be some kind of weird juju going on when we agree



I think you confused PP with Margaret Sanger. But I confess I am not looking this up to be sure. I don't think many people accepted that ideology of hers, and I don't know the full history of how PP came to be. Mebbe Rupe or Fred will tell us.

Planned Parenthood originated in 1916 when Margaret Sanger, already a nationally known birth control advocate, and associates opened the first US birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. It resulted in her being jailed.[3] In 1938, the clinic was organized into the American Birth Control League, which became part of the only national birth control organization in the US until the 1960s.[4] By 1941, the organization was operating 222 centers and had served 49,000 clients.[5] By 1942 the League had become part of what became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.[4] It has since become the world's largest organization of its kind.[5]
By 1960, the Federation's grassroots volunteers had provided family planning counseling in hundreds of communities across the country.[5] Planned Parenthood was one of the founding members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation when it was launched at a conference in Bombay, India in 1952.[6][5]
Following Sanger, Alan Guttmacher became president of Planned Parenthood and served from 1962 till 1974.[7] During his tenure, the Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of the original birth control pill, giving rise to new attitudes towards women's reproductive freedom.[5] Also during his presidency, Planned Parenthood convinced the federal government to fund domestic and international family planning programs.[5] The Center for Family Planning Program Development was also founded as a semi-autonomous division during this time.[8] The center became an independent organization and was renamed the Guttmacher Institute in 1977.[8]
Faye Wattleton was named president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1978 and served till 1992.[9] She was the first African-American to serve as president, and the youngest president in Planned Parenthood's history.[10] During her term, Planned Parenthood grew to become the seventh largest charity in the country, providing services to four million clients each year through its 170 affiliates whose activities were spread across 50 states.[11]


Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt with congressman Albert Wynn in front of the US Supreme Court
From 1996 to 2006, Planned Parenthood was led by Gloria Feldt.[12][13] Feldt activated the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the organization's political action committee, launching what was the most far reaching electoral advocacy effort in its history.[14] She also launched the Responsible Choices Action Agenda, a nationwide campaign to increase services to prevent unwanted pregnancies, improve quality of reproductive care and ensure access to safe and legal abortions.[5] Another initiative was the commencement of a "Global Partnership Program" with the aim of building a vibrant activist constituency in support of family planning.[5]
On February 15, 2006, Cecile Richards became president of the organization.[15 WIKI

And here in Georgia Booby Franklin plods along with his bill to criminalize miscarriages. Why does the GOP hate women so much?

at least they can spell preventive!!

how sad is this. and again ~ NO FEDERAL DOLLARS FUND ABORTION stated in this article. :/

how is it middle aged white males (majority of congress) gets to make decisions about females' bodies? if men got pregnant? yeah, abortion clinics would be on every street corner.

This is from the political party that CLAIMS to be for LESS government intrusion in people's lives.

What a crock. Saving millions in government funding just so they can go and give it away to billion dollar corporations in the form of tax cuts.

Republican conservatism is reserved for those things they DO NOT like. Those things near and dear to them get ALL the funding it takes!

OK...then why do so many conservatives scream and yell about how much of their tax dollars go to THIS or THAT but then get behind things like tax cuts for the rich, costly wars, the war on marijuana, relaxing enviromental restrictions on corporations(which can cost millions when something like the BP oil spill happens).

No red herring. This is stuff one can read in the news. Follow the dots! Republicans want to cut expenses except on things they agree with.

No partisan tears either. If I see a Republican that is worthy of my vote, they'll get it.

1. Cut funding for contraceptives.
2. Forbid abortion of resultant fetus.
3. Cut funding for community health clinics that support the health of the newborn.
4. Cut funding for programs that provide food to the growing child.
5. Close state schools that provide care and housing for damaged children.
6. Privatize education and leave the children of poverty behind.

Where is the Right to Life for these children?
