Perhaps before you start a witch hunt or gather your lynch mob you should do your research. Planned Parenthood offers Family Planning, STD testing as well as educational services. Instead of chastizing them for one of their services why don't you praise them for the othe 97% that they offer? I find it appalling that you have decided to attack her for her efforts to save lives. Do you even know the statistics for STDs? Do you have a clue what Planned Parenthood does for young people. I'm going to chalk your lack of understanding up to age. I doubt that your venture will produce nothing more that rolling eyes.
Do I have a clue what Planned Parenthood does for young people? Why yes, as a matter of fact, I do:
Pushing sex, trivializing sex, cheapening sex, selling sex - and polluting our culture:
[The following is not PG]
Also, every parent should check out Teenwire.com to see what else Planned Parenthood is pedaling to teens.
Then there's the narrow-mindedness and censorship which characterizes PP supporters: just as today you would deny anyone to hold another opinion than you. The problem is that PP is like a religion and abortion the sacrament. Consider the sacred temples with unconstitutionally-protected space. The holy regard pro-abortionites feel for the abortionist. The fact that a girl needs a note from a parent to get an aspirin in school or her ears pierced at the mall, but can get an abortion in secret because PP has lobbied for that right with our taxpayer dollars.
If Planned Parenthood is pro-choice, why do they resist any efforts to require them to fully inform their clients of exactly what an abortion is? Why do they try to censor the research linking breast cancer to abortion? Why do they fight abstinence-based programs? Why don't they tolerate free speech? Why won't they submit to the same kind of health regulations and inspections as other clinics?
Btw, since I seem to be attracting a few drive-by snipers today who are only interested in trolling conservative sites to express their rage:
1) I've never understood why leftists troll this or other conservative sites trying to pick fights. I don't go to sites I disagree with and waste my time yelling at them in the most unattractive, unpersuasive manner I possibly can
2) I can't for the life of me understand why liberals are so full of rage. You have everything you want now - the most pro-abortion (even pro-infanticide) president in history. A filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and all three branches of government in alignment with your most cherished desires. It seem slike you would be happy, but instead you seem intent on squashing all opposition. Why don't you take a deep breath and enjoy your power while you have it. Who knows? Obama - in remaking the ocuntry - may give himself another term, or a lifetime. You should be rejoicing!
3) Age has nothing to do with my beliefs, other than that I've learned through my experience. I was a radical feminist/pro-abortion activist and I've had an abortion myself - that's right, before I came to have a relationship with God, I never knew life was sacred. But once I connected with God, no one had to tell me. I just knew that since I was special in God's eyes, so was every living being. It took me many years to find this out. But there are plenty of young people who are pro-life - in fact respect for life is increasing in the younger generation. See my photo album of the 2009 March for Life.
4) Before you start attacking someone you don't know, you need to do a little research. Although I know a few one-dimensional people (and who knows? maybe some of the PP fanatics writing me now are actually one-dimensional - as a friend of mine says, "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail), most people are multi-dimensional. So am I.
5) The Left is convinced that people who disagree with them are stupid. I've had people write me and ask my educational background (a BA in Philosophy from San Francisco State magna cum laude - studied under radicals like Angela Davis). They are also driven to destroy those they disagree with, using character assassination and hyperbole, as Joules did in his opening remarks: Witch hunt? Lynch mob? Those seem to be more leftist tactics nowadays, doncha think?
Speaking as a former leftist, I hve observed that conservatives are much more polite, and seem much more willing and able to find common ground and to respect others.
But I guess that, after all, that starts with respecting life.
