Connecticut 1965<br />Roe v Wade 1973<br />1,000,000 abortions 1976<br /><br />Since Planned Parenthood had even illegally been distributing contraceptives since it's foundation, why didn't they successfully prevent those 1,000,000 pregnancies of 1976? Because people just are too stupid to figure them out? More education starting in kindergarten? They obviously have enough money to promote them. Sorry, I don't buy it. Promoting sexual promiscuity(Eisenstadt v. Baird 1972) is the primary driver of the abortion industry. How could a person explain that in 2011 the US public has more access to contraception than ever before yet abortion numbers are increasing. I can't logically follow the PP argument here. If contraception is so great, why isn't it working?Badger Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389147035157025445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-62616449377194202642011-02-22T22:09:33.560-06:002011-02-22T22:09:33.560-06:00Oh Exactly.Oh Exactly.J.

We are more, contrary to what many may be raised believing. Thus, we have the ability of self denial. This used to be considered a virtue. Oops! Did I say a dirty word? Thanks Dad!

I think Chesterton would be nodding his head as well.<br /><br />I totally disagree with "more women will need to have abortions because they had less access to birth control" All the numbers I've seen say just the opposite.

Let's see how the number of abortions INCREASES because the poor has less access to contraception, resulting in more unwanted pregnancies.<br /><br />This de-funding should really should be a boon to Planned Parenthood, shouldn't it, if abortions are the major revenue generator for PP?

All it says is that since abortion is wrong, any action against it is clearly not wrong. Any "live" action which deliberately obscures the facts, misleads people, and falsely accuses is not a lie if the motive is good.<br /><br />From the article: "The closest analogy I can think of to Live Action’s expose of Planned Parenthood is spying. If Live Action is wrong, then so is all spying, including spying out the Nazis’ atomic bomb projects and saving the world from a nuclear holocaust."<br /><br />Although many would argue with the tactic, it's not the posing of pimp and prostitute that is the lying to which people object. It is the misrepresentation of the fruit of the "spying" which is not only lying, but CLEARLY lying.<br /><br />The article fails in its goal.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.com
