We shouldn't be surprised by this. They've really always been that way. It's in their DNA.

They were founded on the basis of eugenics -- the desire to eliminate those races and groups of people deemed undesirable by the white organizers of the program. Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, wrote several articles on eugenics and advocated mandatory "segregation or sterilization" for undesirables. There was a strong element of white supremacy and a desire to "purify" the white race.

They focused and continue to focus on the disadvantaged.

They and their fellow travelers have managed to get to the point where most black unborn babies in New York City are aborted.

Those aghast at the practice of cutting up bodies and selling parts haven't been paying attention.

Those who advocate for abortion rights ought to be clear about what it is that is being done.
 
Re: Planned Parenthood's Callus Inhumanity

You're talking about an organization whose very existence and purpose is built, in large part, on the senseless slaughter of innocents. I don't think the word “humanity” can even be applied to that organization, nor to the murderous monsters that infest and support it. Surely, to have any willing part in that is to forfeit the very most essential traits that distinguish human beings from lesser beasts.
 
Re: Planned Parenthood's Callus Inhumanity

Planned Parenthood is one of many member organisations of the worldwide IPPF.

" ... Supported by millions of volunteers and 30,000 staff, IPPF Member Associations provide sexual and reproductive health information, education and services through 65,000 service points. Those services include family planning, abortion, maternal and child health, and STI and HIV treatment, prevention and care.

Every year, our Member Associations help millions of poor and vulnerable people avoid unsafe childbirth, unsafe sex, unsafe abortion, STI-related illnesses and HIV-related stigma and discrimination. And together, we fight for local, national and global policies which recognize a fundamental human right - the right to sexual and reproductive health. ..."

So who would deny their fellow citizens access to safe childbirth, safer sex, or a safe abortion?


(ps, it's "callous")

There is nothing wrong with the concept of eugenics, only it's implementation.

Perhaps, just perhaps if you took just a little bit of effort to educate yourself on what you post you could make a relevant post instead of an ignorant bigoted stupid rant.

As if there is any amount of good that this murderous organization can do, to make up for well over a million innocents needlessly and unjustifiably killed by them in cold blood every year.

And there is no such thing as a “safe abortion”. You cannot honesty call “safe” any procedure which by intent and result always causes the death of an innocent human being.

You're the one who defends the cold-blooded murder of thousands of innocents every day, and you're calling me a bigot?

I defend the right of every person to self determination especially when there is no consequence to their actions that affects any other person or society in general. I also consider senseless emotional drivel as desperation when lacking intelligent and relevant arguments.
Does the shoe fit?

The innocent child who is the victim of an abortion is someone whose right to self-determination you actively oppose, and in fact, whose very right to exist, you oppose.

How you would treat the most innocent and defenseless of all human beings tells us the most about your character, or lack thereof.

As I said senseless emotional drivel is a poor argument. Come back when you have something relevant and intelligent.

Objecting to the murders of large numbers of innocents is not “senseless emotional drivel”.
 
Re: Planned Parenthood's Callus Inhumanity

Pretty callous this wholesale termination of innocents.

Pretty callous a decision of their mothers and fathers.

Pretty callous a society that accepts this as normal, ignores it, and goes about it's business.

Planned Parenthood was also originally founded on the principles of the pro-"life" movement; they were looking to decrease the rate of abortion.

Margaret Sanger was pro-"life", she condemned abortion.

So I guess you are saying pro-"lifers" are for eugenics and white supremacy now? Or how Planned Parenthood is a pro-"life" organization.

I guess then that you and other anti-abortion advocates are anti-Israel also: Israel’s abortion law now among world’s most liberal
Despite its conservative leanings, government approves free pregnancy termination for nearly all women, and it barely causes a ripple

Israel, a nation with a forceful religious lobby and a conservative prime minister, is poised to offer its female citizens some of the most liberal abortion coverage in the world.

The nation’s Health Ministry commission, led by Dr. Yonatan Halevy, last week announced its state-subsidized “health basket,” the package of medications and services that all Israeli citizens are entitled to under the nation’s health care system. It was approved by the cabinet on Sunday. The health basket is analyzed and amended on an annual basis, and among the many additional treatments to be offered to Israelis in 2014 are free-of-charge abortions for women ages 20-33.

Israel has always had a liberal stance on abortion, allowing women facing medical emergencies or those who are victims of rape or abuse to receive subsidies to help them terminate their pregnancies. Outside of those regulations, women can apply for abortions for reasons ranging from an emotional or mental threat caused by the pregnancy or for not being married to the baby’s father. All women who seek to end a pregnancy must appear before a three-member committee to state their case, but 98 percent of requests are approved. Women under the age of 20 or over the age of 40 were also previously eligible for subsidized abortions, regardless of the reason.

A year and a half has passed and not one conservative supporter of Israel has spoken out against this action - hypocrisy much?

Planned Parenthood was historically against abortion. How can you argue that their "very existence and purpose is built" on abortion when abortion was illegal in 1916?

Some of you really need to do your homework. I bet you also think PP is ran by lizard people who live in hidden bunkers inside the Earth.

Take it down a notch, PETA. When the majority of these abortions take place, we are talking about something that doesn't even have clinical signs of life, has no ability to feel pain, not self-aware and doesn't have emotions. It isn't that much of a biggie.

Well if you are calling abortion "murder" - that would not be drivel. Just a garden variety lie. Most abortions that are obtained in this country are legal.

Legal technicalities do not change the ethical significance of needlessly and unjustifiably taking the lives of innocent human beings.

There is nothing new nor unique about this excuse being used, here, that what is being done is not “murder” because it is being done in accordance with the laws having jurisdiction where it is taking place.

If you know it not to be murder and still call it murder. Then you are a person who embraces lying.

Murder isn't just a legal term. It's also an ethical term.

As an ethical term, I am using it entirely correctly, to refer to any unjustified, needless, and deliberate taking of a human life.

Really, you're quibbling over relatively meaningless semantics to take the technicalities of law over the weightier ethics of the actions being discussed and their consequences.

One of the prerequisites for murder is that it has to be unlawful. So it is a strictly legal term.

Additionally, within the history of the USA, abortion has never been treated as murder. Even throughout the world, abortion is rarely treated as murder.

This is just another one of those pro-"life" talking points that is more based upon fantasy than reality.

You can tell much about a society's value by how they treat the most vulnerable.
Here, some are supporting their being dismembered and scraped out of the womb, to be used in biomedical research.

That would be an exaggeration, a misdirection,or a flat lie, depending on how charitably one felt toward such a flatulent claim.
