This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Why the law is weak the Christians will play
I thought the overall theme of this thread was the behavior of contemporary religious people. If I'm wrong I take it back.- Brooks

Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
I looked for the law and couldn't find it but many responsible (and left wing) sources include it in their articles. I wished they had quoted the relevant part but they didn't. I'll get some of those quotes if you want or you can just tell me now that the NY Times, et al are not credible... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
I'll give you that one, I mis-credited a source. But the bigger point is that the entire statement is not of use to us if it starts with "probably". Okay, that may be but I don't see the relevance here, unless you're saying that they're making up their losses with the parts sales. The word... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
It doesn't matter what she throws into the final price and that's not the point. If the conversation were a series of different options then there should be different prices discussed and they'd leave with several prices for several levels of service. But that's NOT what happened. They started... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
Federal law prohibits the abortion clinic from profiting from the sale. The next in line (in this case Stem Express) can charge whatever the market will bear. If you have something to back that up I'd be interested. The law says PP can't profit. If you say otherwise your kindred spirits on... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
I'm not getting it, maybe it's out of context. Could you explain what that means. -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
I still think you might want to leave for-profit hospitals out of this analogy. A hospital will offer other services and charge for them because they want to make a profit. For example they aren't in the ER/OR business and then plan on breaking even with the on site pharmacy. PP, on the other... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
If a professional hospital gives you a range of 500% they are probably talking about different services and levels of service. In the video there were no multiple options presented, just several actively negotiated prices for a particular service. My problem is with the odd inexactness of it... -
Why the law is weak the Christians will play
I follow the news kind of closely and I'm not familiar with anyone using that particular defense in court so I don't see the point. Unless you're setting up some kind of criminal defense ahead of time. If so, good luck.- Brooks

Why the law is weak the Christians will play
Just a note - you are talking about something that happened in 1976 before ANYONE knew what Ebola was. It's a bit disingenuous not to put the timeline into that statement. Addressing that 40 year old story: I think the problem is there just weren't enough volunteers willing to go into the hot...- Brooks

Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
Planned Parenthood is a business, period. They are responsible for their money. They have accountants just like GM. A noble purpose still requires responsible business and fiscal practices. In the video, the cost ranges from fifty to one hundred dollars. There is NO WAY PP's estimation for... -
Parts, Prices and Planned Parenthood's Logic Loop
1. I always have a problem when we use Snopes, Factcheck, Politifact, etc. as the source to decide our debates, first because everyone has a bias in their interpretation and second because these sources sometimes disagree with one another. 2. I detect a bias in the answer when they use... -
Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense.....[W:19,69]
Re: Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense..... Then, on top of that, negotiating different prices for that "handling". -
Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense.....[W:19,69]
Re: Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense..... There is a section in the video in which Doctor Gatter mentions three different prices for the same item. It was a negotiation of price. -
Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense.....[W:19,69]
Re: Planned Parenthood’s Aggressive Defense..... When prices are being openly negotiated that has more than the whiff of items "being sold".
