Campaign of deception

This boils my blood. 😡
PP helps so many women in many ways.

Pox Noise has been beating the drums hard on this heavily edited ambush job on PP.
The Religious Right has had it out for this affordable and necessary women's health service organization and the folks that pander them have cashed in on it.

Will you enlighten us on the whole conversation that took place? I'm curious to see the context of her remarks.

Ask the folks that did the job for the full unedited videos from ALL their encounters with PP. Good luck.
Same with the hatchet job on ACORN.

I believe that point that Barbara is making is this and not who said what.
Quote:
After the first video’s release, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky pledged to “introduce an amendment to pending Senate legislation to immediately strip every dollar of Planned Parenthood funding.” Senator Ted Cruz of Texas called for defunding and for “an investigation of Planned Parenthood’s activities regarding the sale and transfer of aborted body parts.” The House Energy and Commerce Committee is undertaking an investigation, and Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana have ordered investigations in their states.
Question is why?

Maybe because I'm a woman, this seems so personal to me..... I don't know. From what I know about PP.... Abortions are a very minor part of the services they offer.
Their biggest role, in my opinion, is education and preventative care.

Pretty much true, and to women of limited means.

To me it seems illogical to limit abortion by whatever means necessary, that then leads to unwanted births to women that cannot or will not bring up these children. Pandering to the sanctimonious right for the purposes of vote whoring only impoverishes a society in the long run. Does God really want that?

Or to be callous about it, who is paying for these children's care when it all boils down. It's bad enough keeping track of deadbeat dad's.

PS: I have often wondered why abortion is bad yet it is OK to send children to war to kill or be killed?
