Komen Fallout - Planned Parenthood: 'Political bullies' have been put on alert; NARAL: 'Let's build on this great victory'

Neither do I. All I've ever met are people who beleive women have no other choice but to carry their pregnancy to term (anti-choice) and people who believe the woman is the person who has the right to make her choice whether to continue with her pregnancy or not (pro-choice).

Since they are attacking an organization that defends the rights of a woman to choose, I guess that makes them anti-womens rights.

most pro choice people are actually pro-life. Most wouldnt consider an abortion for themselves under normal circumstances, but they believe that their are times when a woman deserves a right to choose and that their shouldnt be laws in place that make her choose the stairs over giving birth.

I have to admit, there are certain segments of society that I would be pro-abortion regarding.
About 35 years late though....sigh

In the span of just three days, Planned Parenthood ended up winning this specific battle

There should be another negative anti-choice "choice" with the Superbowl commercial airing tomorrow in some markets. No matter your stance on the matter, people don't want their kids seeing that during the biggest viewing game of the year. The fallout will not be good to those who wanted it played.

The two incidents together should about put the common image of the term 'anti-abortion' person on the same platform of Fred Phelps. They are both legal (gays and abortion). They need to deal with it already and quit terrorizing others who don't think like the do.

Of course, there will be no mention of the fact that 90% of all abortions are performed in the first trimester or that later proedures are mostly due to health problems or delays caused by financia difficulties. Raising the cost of an abortion by requiring uneeded proceedures like ultrasounds, heartbeat amplification, or multiple office visits will only increase these.

Pro-abortion is simply the misnomer some on the Right use to label those of us who support a woman's right to choose. I don't know anyone who is pro-abortion....right to choose what? kill your baby , sounds pretty sick!

Women who kill their babies go to jail. Google Andrea Yates, Susan Smith, and Darlir Routier.

Pro-abortion is simply the misnomer some on the Right use

see my post 1.27 above. Of course some people are proabortion, and not only in the examples I gave. In midler forms this happens all the time. There are husbands, boyfriends, and even girlfriends who strongly pressure the woman to abort, for instance. That's being proabortion, not prochoice. In the case of the husband or boyfriend, it's also an example of how "feminism" has made it socially acceptable for a man to be an irresponsible jerk.

pro-abortion advocate: how about we make abortion mandatory unless two Christian parents, one man, one woman, come forward to commit to parenthood of the child.

Maybe you haven't. I have.

Stu....there are too many charities that actually fund research and not litigation to send you charity $$$$. sgk will never knowingly get another dime from me. If any of the others want to have walks, runs, shirts, or whatever....I'm game!

I already got a post from a cousin that suggested that it's PPH's fault for 'refusing to disclose ' how their grant money is spent.
I can only assume that came from FAUX news, at it is always on in that household.
...you can pick your friends....

Damn that pesky reality, anyhow!

You are close in your definition BC, but you forgot to add the "liberal, commie, marxist, unAmerican, muslim, fascist, socialist, kitchen sink" tag to demean that reality, like all the rwnjs will do.

After all, anything that doesn't agree with their warped view, is the fault of someone else and those people should be required to go live in some other country.

This is a Bias site.. I wouldn't believe them even if their tongues came notarized.... thats a good liberal, keep your head in the sand, or a good litttle "Pontious Pilate" "truth, what is truth?" truth is what you make it ,right? thats the liberal motto

jwc2blue.. I agree.. I will do exactly what Bloomberg did.. send a check directly to Planned Parenthood... bypassing Komen...

Par, did Bloomberg actually give that much? I was under the impression that he was matching donations up to $250,000.

Never mind. Here it is. http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/02/bloomberg-gives-matching-gift-to-planned-parenthood-113325.html

...announcing he will give a $250,000 matching gift to PP "to help defray the loss of the Komen funds," a

I think he has the money.. he will make his mortgage payment this month.. lol

he will make his mortgage payment this month.. lol

Now if only I could get him to make mine...

They really screwed themselves which is quite typical for a right wing establishment.

....and the "incestrial love" that they have for themselves.

reddirthippy

"Komen claims on their website they want to build a grassroots effort." Really?

I could have sworn they already had a significant grass roots effort in place before they went stupid.

Having them say that just destoryed the 'grassroots' nature of the opposition.

The timing may be perfect to get a lot out to work on this election coming up for seats at the local, state and federal level. We must stop this war against women. The most effective way of doing so is doing so with our vote.

One should always make hay while the sun shines.

Thousands of children die daily of starvation. The pro-life movement never touched them.

To force others into this world when others are dying without help is quite cruel. That simply proves the pro-life movement is not about life at all. Those sorts are obsessed about anything dealing with sex.

As Romney would like to think .. that all the poor are taken care of..

1.6 HOMELESS kids....makes me so angry when extremist zealots ignore this travesty.

Kids living week to week in motels, or in a car....and somehow wannabe presidential candidates never mention this.

Abortion is personal.

Cancer is an equal opportunity health issue.

Poverty is FIXABLE.

People who put an old religious textbook in front of their child have no grasp of how evil doing so really is.

Can you ever imagine being so myopic that you would put your personal beliefs above your child?

It simply shows how ill religion can make so many minds. It destroyed their ability to totally nurture a child.

What type of terminal illnesses do they treat at Planned Parenthood?

I agree..

What a bunch of pious jackasses.

...and that's putting it mildly

I have to respectfully disagree, in some cases. There are women who are willing to have unprotected sex because they know they can have an abortion if they get pregnant. The real choice comes in when a woman chooses to have unprotected sex - and I am talking about when she has a choice, not in a case of rape or incest. There are women who have had multiple abortions because they chose multiple times to have unprotected sex. Not a difficult decision for all women; they've already made the choice before they get pregnant.

If HE would put a sock on it, Buddy, she won't get pregnant! No pregnancy, no abortion.

What's the difference to the child being snuffed out if you call it pro-abortion versus pro-choice?

There are women who are willing to have unprotected sex because they know they can have an abortion if they get pregnant.

Let's investigate more into this statement: So.. they are willing to save a few dollars for a condom or the pill...in order to spend the hundreds later and or the procedure to have an abortion? Can anyone else tell me why a woman would place herself in a procedure to have an abortion when it cost a few dollars to prevent this procedure?

It is totally illogical.

So, Par4TheCourse,

Because it's illogical means it doesn't happen? Who said it has anything to do with money? Are you saying that, in the heat of the moment, all women who are not using protection say, "Wait, stop!" and run out and get a condom? According to your logic, all women who can afford birth control use it. If that is the case, why are there so many abortions? It's not only poor women who get abortions.

Buddy: I want the names of these women that you say intentionally fail to use birth control so they can have an abortion. I want to have a talk with them. You have no idea what you are talking about.

RN Diane,

I did NOT say women are purposefully getting pregnant so they can have abortions. I am saying they are willing to forego using contraception because they know an abortion can bail them out of an unwanted pregnancy. There are women who have had multiple abortions because they have failed multiple times to use contraception. That is a choice.

Buddy.. Never 'ass'ume anything .. specifically trying to read into it.. because you can be really wrong when you do...

Any and all things can happen.. and they do.. like UFO's landing on Cantor's front lawn and not finding any intelligent life to report home about.

Wingnuts-Teabaggers want government out of their business.. yet you want government in another person's business.. That is being a hypocrite. The Choices are left up to those who are experiencing the event where they would have to decide.. Not you nor I .. considering we are the government.... should not interfere with another person's right to choose what they want.. I cannot tell you to wear a green cone-shaped hat in the middle of Time Square while picking your nose with one hand...and your other hand.. your thumb up your arse.. because it is wrong that I tell you to do that.. it is also just as wrong that I interfere in your life.. It is hypocritical of any person that wants their life to be about choices, while telling others they cannot choose the path they wish to follow... You cannot have it both ways... I can do whatever I want.. It is called Freedom.. and then tell someone else they can't.

Sure, there are people that use birth control.. although by the schmucks against birth control would rather have women go through the 9 months and spring forth a child... They are against birth control, at the same time being against Choice.. This means only one outcome.. Forcing the young child at 12-17 who was raped to have the kid.. no matter what....That is Anti-choice.. and again Government getting into other people's business.. You cannot have freedom unless you allow freedom to exist...

Par4TheCourse,

What is it that I am assuming and reading into? Are you assuming I'm a "Wingnut or Teabagger"? I was just trying to point out that in some cases, abortion is not a difficult decision, nor a heartwrenching decision. There are women who have undergone multiple abortions because they have chosen to have unprotected sex multiple times. To them abortion is a safety net. Did I say this is true of all women, or even most women, who have abortions? No, I did not.

(And I specifically excluded those who have become pregnant as the result of rape and incest.)

Did I use the word "You" when I wrote Wingnuts-Teabaggers? Where did I assume you were? Again you assume.. that's a habit you might want to think about breaking..

You forgot what you wrote when it is staring you in the face.. if I have to explain it to you .. then I do not know what to say to

"What is it that I am assuming and reading into?

--

There are women who have undergone multiple abortions because they have chosen to have unprotected sex multiple times.

Now you see.. We have something we can agree on.. But one doesn't condemn in general the Choice of a woman everywhere...because there are prostitutes out there that get pregnant and find it necessary to have an abortion. We are a country of Laws - Created by the people to stop crime... It is criminal if a prostitute continually gets pregnant .. gets an abortion.. just to go peddle her wares and get pregnant again.. That's misuse of the system and unnecessary.. But why would anyone want her to be a mother of an innocent child? Isn't there enough bad parents out there already that are bad influences on their kids? Why would we force a prostitute to have a child that we would know is destined for failure.. then the weight of that becomes switched to those in power to decide.. and to take care of.

Create a law that if it is a "Known" prostitute.. then she suffers the burden of death.. tie her up to some stake with hay and small limbs.. and burn her like they did to the Witches..

(And I specifically excluded those who have become pregnant as the result of rape and incest.)

Rape, incest, and the Health of the mother... You're 2/3rds the way there

Par4TheCourse,

Well, yes, you did use the word "you"--- "Wingnuts-Teabaggers want government out of their business..yet you want government in another person's business"

Health of the mother is something we also agree on, by the way. A woman does not always know that she has or will have a medical condition in which pregancy will endanger her life. So, she may want to get pregnant. That woman doesn't fit the scenario of a woman who doesn't want a child but makes the choice to have unprotected sex anyway.

I guess you misunderstood the word "Yet"..

A woman through Planned Parenthood .. Which is ALL ABOUT the health and welfare of Women.. Over 95 percent of the cases deal in health and welfare of women.. being that I am not a woman.. I'll just say all the 'female issues'.. It isn't Abortions... it is prevention of sickness & diseases.. Planned Parenthood is a GREAT Organization.. that deserves more accolades than what it is receiving... and I am sure men go to this place as well.. I never had to deal with them.. I am fortunate that I have my own health insurance and a beautiful doctor to take care of me... but I am also sure that if I needed help they wouldn't just turn me away.

With all the problems in our society..people condemn one place that is doing good for the citizens of this country... How about focusing on the bad who go after Children .. where the Efforts should be.. Child Predators..and people who beat kids and kill them... Human Traffickers.. IF you want to save kids.. Then save kids.. I'm all for putting the slime balls to death...

Now I misunderstood the word "yet".....(?)

Planned Parenthood does include services for men, which is something I think a lot of people do not realize.

Did you run out of ideas, scott? Repeating comments is "comment spam."
