"that we are reporting numerous complaints of gross misconduct by our patients at another facility"?
3 weeks ago, planned parenthood testified in florida legislature that babies can be aborted AFTER birth
Video: Planned Parenthood Official Argues for Right to Post-Birth Abortion | The Weekly Standard
some of our lovers of humanity have forgotten their souls
"Planned Parenthood condemns any physician who does not follow the law or endangers a woman's or a child's health, but we don't believe that politicians should be the ones who decide what constitutes the best, medically appropriate treatment in any given situation,"
Born-Alive Infants Protection Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 ("BAIPA" Pub.L. 107–207, 116 Stat. 926, enacted August 5, 2002, 1 U.S.C. § 8) is an Act of Congress. It extends legal protection to an infant born alive after a failed attempt at induced abortion. It was signed by President George W. Bush, a Republican.
Perhaps the ultimate irony of the right-wing’s imagined controversy is that —
even in states where it’s not against the law to perform late-term induced abortions — Planned Parenthood clinics don’t provide that type of service. Many Planned Parenthood affiliates only perform abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy, when women can either take a pill or have a less-invasive surgical procedure.
It's not the womans body. It's an independent biological entity that is of the human species. It's a human life separate from the life of the mother (or father). It's an individual life.
Just so that we are being factual, the fetus does process food on its own. It's provided with nutrients, even at the level of a zygote the cell performs its own metabolism. I also don't see why breathing air is relevant either. It's in an airless environment while the organs required to breathe air are developing.
By all rational an biological accounts the ZEF is a human life at every stage. That's just fact. Now, if we want to get to subjective definitions of "person-hood" and somehow use that to rationalize why it's acceptable to kill a human life we could go there.
Once again, you've done a 180
Your arguments are so inane that even you wont stick by them
Most of the world agrees that sex with children is wrong. That doesn't make it objectively true, just as believing that the world was flat didn't mean that was objectively true.
When one of lawmakers asked her what Planned Parenthood's position would be if a baby is born as a result of a botched abortion.
She said "We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician,"
That does NOT mean the mom can kill the baby... It only means the mother,and her family along with the doctor can decide if extraordinary measures should be done to save the baby's life.
Women beg to differ.
As it's dependent on another independent being, this is untrue.
Biologically untrue.
Ad these "extraordinary measures" (another euphemism!) would involve killing the baby, correct? We now have a thumbs up/thumbs down committee vote on whether an innocent human being should die.
Newborns are not independently living 'creatures' either. Without proper care they die. So at what point is it appropriate to stop killing babies that cannot support themselves?

The defense of controversial abortion Dr. Kermitt Gosnell gets underway in Phialdelphia this week, but he cannot expect any support from some of the country's most pro abortion rights advocacy organizations who "unequivocally denounced" his practice.
Leaders from Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation said that Gosnell's abortion clinic was an affront to high-quality, safe abortion clinics who operate under proper regulations across the country.
Gosnell's attorneys were supposed to begin their defense today but it was postponed until Tuesday due to illness on the defense team. The trial is entering its sixth week of testimony in the high-profile trial, which could result in the death penalty for Gosnell.
Oh, the monsters among us!
My 26 year old cousin isn't an independent living creature, either. He's sponging off of my Aunt. Can I kill him?
No it it would not since we have a federal law that would not allow that ...the Born Alive Act.
Dr. Tiller was one of 5 doctors who performed late term abortions at that time.
The taking of an innocent human life is generally referred to as murder, although some prefer euphemisms.
The taking of an innocent life is pretty much universally condemned. Or at least that used to be the case.
Then what is this "extraordinary measures" meeting all about? The law is obviously being ignored, even when people are being told the law is being ignored. It seems that abortionists are very keen to maintain their good reputation.
Those "late term abortions" involved murdering babies after they were born. They 'snipped" the babies necks.
Perhaps Dr.Gosnell and has staff had meetings regarding "extraordinary measures" also. That may be his defense for killing these babies, if there is such a defense.
From what I have read about the tesimony in the trial I believe Kermit Gosnell not only broke the law when he preformed abortion on women with viable fetuses but that he murdered any babies that were born .
I think he should pay with his life for that if true.
Hopefully he gets the death sentence or they at lock him up
The Born Alive law requires that medical help be given for any infant born alive.
Tht means if they were a wanted baby who was born
very early or if they survived an abortion attempt.
Extraordinary measures means open heart surgery, surgery to put organs that are on the outside of body back inside the body , the use of infant cpap machines, etc.
Saving lives this young is not benign. Survivors of extreme prematurity have frequent, and often severe, complications during their time in the NICU.
In the worst cases, these children will suffer lifelong disabilities: cerebral palsy; severe visual impairment that thick glasses and eye surgery can only partly correct; scarred lungs that will leave them reliant on oxygen tanks; intellectual and behavioral problems that put them well behind their peers.
Partly because prospects for these children can be so dark, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests not resuscitating babies born before 23 weeks,
while babies born after 26 weeks are usually resuscitated.
Between 23 and 26 weeks, the risks remain high but survival improves with each week. This range is treated by the pediatrics organization as a gray zone, and doctors and parents must make the hard decision about whether to try to resuscitate a baby without firm guidance.
The circumstances are rarely ideal. Neonatologists walk into a patient’s room, day or night, amid the intense activity of obstetricians and nurses trying to manage labor. It’s an emotional, tense and uncertain time not conducive to detailed discussion or reflection. Unsurprisingly, then, these life-or-death decisions are made inconsistently.
Be more specific
We take innocent life on a daily basis unless you think the world revolves only around humans of course
No it does not mean taking the babies life.And it also means taking the babies life.
1. I get so tired of the "they can't live on their own so they aren't really people" crap.
2. A day old baby can't live on his own.
3. A 3-month old baby can't live on his own.
4. A 2 year old can't live on his own.
5. A 10 year old can't live on his own.
6.Heck - many adults can't live without sucking the teat of the government everyday.
Which is of course why one of the selected means of killing the unborn baby is to plunge scissors into the brain of the infant.The unborn 99% percent of the time when they're aborted are not sentient with a mind
1. I get tried of the Anthropocentrism pro lifers show on a daily basis. Let's look at the characteristics these beings have
2. A one day old baby is a sentient being...
Which is of course why one of the selected means of killing the unborn baby is to plunge scissors into the brain of the infant.
I understand, but that was not my point.I think you are mistaken ...the babies Gonell is accused of murdering were born babies not unborn.
