Six injured in shooting at Louisiana move theater; shooter kills self

You start with a false premise.

I don't care for the NRA not because their righteous protectors of the 2nd amendment but because they're whores for the gun industry.

Everything they do is designed to scare people into buying more guns and making guns easier to buy.

Where the NRA differs from other advocacy groups is their overarching goal of more guns. No abortion rights group is pushing for more abortions but simply for women who choose to have one can have one.

No matter where they live.

Those fighting for choice have also rightly figured out that any restriction is just another way of blocking access and eventually making it where women can't get the medical care they want.

 

[Riptide]

Speaking of abortion, how can someone be pro-life and favor the death penalty?

It's like Carlin said: You're important before you're born, but after that you're forked.

 

[YankeeFan]

You start with a false premise.

No I don't:

YF, my issue with the NRA isn't that they advocate for 2nd Amendment rights. It's that the NRA fights, tooth and nail, any control on firearms whatsoever.

And there are plenty more statements like this

I don't care for the NRA not because their righteous protectors of the 2nd amendment but because they're whores for the gun industry.

But, I suppose there is no such thing as a wart for the abortion industry, right?

LOL That's exactly why PP was founded, and continues to exist.

Which is the same reason why the NRA fights against "common sense" gun reforms.

Um, no, Planned Parenthood was founded to give poor women information on their reproductive health, and provide low-cost exams for women during a time when the mere mention of a word such as "vagina" was considered against the laws of obscenity.

By the way, you do know that 90 percent of what they do doesn't have anything to do with abortion, right?

I didn't think PP had anything to do with abortion. I thought they were all about "women's health."

Abortion is a part of women's health.

PP does provide abortion services, although that is a small part of what they do and the anti-abortion campaign has been very successful in marginalizing them and making it much harder for women to get. On the other hand, federal law already prevents federal money from going to PP's abortion side, so the funding that the House is talking about pulling is what goes for contraception and breast cancer.

I would think that contraception is part of individual responsibility, and that no one is against fighting breast cancer.

 

[JayFarrar]

I'm going to start Weenies for America and push for transgender rights to go away. I'm going to require that all men who are thinking about getting their weenies cut off be reminded that by their sperm not being in the gene pool they are denying an ovum from being fertilized and an unfertilized ovum stops a heart from beating.

Any man considering the operation will have to undergo counseling, get parental consent and have a wand shoved up their ass for a scan to show them their sacred sperm.

They need to understand that their choice isn't about their health but about God's baby juice and its importance in keeping humanity going.

Actually, I was being disingenuous. I of course didn't think that PP had nothing to do with abortion.

While abortions are not a large proportion of PP's services -- in part because of some clever p.r.-focused accounting on PP's part* -- they represent a very large proportion of PP's budget. I've come across credible numbers suggesting that, at the clinical level, upwards of a third (or more) of revenues come from abortions. Even if you factor in national funding, the numbers are in the 10% range. That's not a small part ... well, at least not in my book.

*They unbundle their services so that, e.g., a woman going to get birth control pills is credited with receiving several services. Given this, numerically speaking abortions would be a very small percentage of the services that are conveyed, even though they have a very large impact on the bottom line.

Don't know much biology, huh?

God's baby juice.

It should be a rule, any time you go to the doctor, you get a wand shoved up your ass against your will because your dopey state legislature thought it was a good idea.

Those are the people I want making my medical decisions, dopey state legislators.
