62% of what Planned Parenthood does involves cancer and AIDS screening, as well as testing for other sexually transmitted diseases. 35% involves providing safe contraception. And 3% of what they do involves abortion services. And except for abortion, most of these services are being provided to people who have no health insurance or other means of obtaining them. So in fact Planned Parenthood is one of the only preventative health care providers in existence that serves the uninsured. Without them, these people would have to wait until their illnesses were life-threatening, and then go to an ER to get any form of health care at all. So Planned Parenthood saves lives, and saves people from a lot of unnecessary suffering by offering early screening and preventative health care services.

Planned Parenthood Exploits Martin Luther King for Donation Event
Sometimes. Not at a high rate, but then neither is planned parenthood. There's also plenty of accidental death plus the death and injury of the soldiers themselves. Life is precious to right wingers as long as it isn't born or wasn't born in the USA. (We could also talk about the treatment of undocumented immigrants.)
You can't have an honest conversation can you?
How about you cut the condescending lines right now? It's not like your tax dollars have ever funded a military run by hawkish civilian leaders that think military intervention is the solution to everything.
Not recently. There's also the problem of the USA offloading responsibility on civilian contractors, and they don't have to deal with things like court martial. They magically get sent home when they shoot up innocent people.
It is possible to teach them that, but children are smart. Aside from moral reasons why should they delay? There's also the issue of abstinence programs not actually preventing pregnancy, STDs or any of the other negative effects of early sexual activity.
| After accounting for other factors, the national data show that the incidence of teenage pregnancies and births remain positively correlated with the degree of abstinence education across states: The more strongly abstinence is emphasized in state laws and policies, the higher the average teenage pregnancy and birth rate. States that taught comprehensive sex and/or HIV education and covered abstinence along with contraception and condom use (level 1 sex education; also referred to as “abstinence-plus” [26], tended to have the lowest teen pregnancy rates, while states with abstinence-only sex education laws that stress abstinence until marriage (level 3) were significantly less successful in preventing teen pregnancies. |
If she has to lose her job to take care of a new child when she already has three that may go hungry . . . maybe you should rethink your "analysis" for just a second.
How about you specify exactly how this is dishonest?
You know what's interesting about this? You don't have any say in the matter. :chuckle:
For every pregnancy leading to a Taiwanese woman giving birth, a remarkable three are estimated by a Taiwan pediatrician to have been aborted, a figure that others believe isn’t too far from reality. When on July 17 the veteran National Taiwan University College of Medicine professor and pediatrician Lue Hung-chi told a forum that 300,000 to 500,000 abortions are carried out in Taiwan each year, he was seeking to send alarm bells ringing. If his estimate is true, it has to be one of the highest per-capita abortion rates in the world. |
