Planned Parenthood Video - Helping The sex trade

Hey, isn't it the liberals that are always arguing systematic this, and systematic that? Now that you have to defend it, it becomes an isolated incident....Nice double standard you have there.


j-mac

What? This was an isolated incident and I never argued that an isolated incident besmirched the entire organization unless it was not an isolated incident.
 
I have to agree that this incident reflects an attitude that is built into the culture of Planned Parenthood. The pretentiousness of their name alone sets me on edge. PP wants to get people their abortions and will skate along the edges of the law to do it.

They've made a mockery of responsible parental planning.

Abortion represents 2% of Planned Parenthood's services, the majority of their service is birth control and education about birth control, IOW, an attempt to prevent abortions. How is "Planned Parenthood" a pretentious name? It seems fairly straightforward to me.

Three percent of Planned Parenthood's services include abortion procedures. Though that is a small percentage of Planned Parenthood's work, that 3 percent totaled 289,750 abortions in 2006, making Planned Parenthood the largest provider of abortions in the United States.

I don't care what other services it provides. I care about how they handle this issue.

If Planned Parenthood isn't there to provide those other services, there will be many more abortions. Now, do you really truly want to prevent abortions, or do you just want a feel-good righteous sounding law that forbids them but doesn't prevent them?

Research: Public funds prevent 800,000 abortions a year - USATODAY.com

NEW YORK — Publicly funded family planning prevents nearly 2 million unintended pregnancies and more than 800,000 abortions in the United States each year, saving billions of dollars, according to new research intended to counter conservative objections to expanding the program.

And they handled it by condemning those in the wrong and teaching their employees what to do under the circumstances.

Irrelevant. When somebody comes to a PP office pregnant it doesn't really matter to me that there are some people who didn't pregnant. I don't treat abortion like it is removing a scab. Keeping people from getting pregnant and not needing to get an abortion is not a trade off in any way for me. I have no problem with birth control and other pregnancy services but I have a big problem with abortion on demand. So naturally I have a big problem with people subverting existing laws on abortion and people who think they can ignore a child's parents when it comes to making this decision.
 
Looks to me like planned parenthood and ACORN have similar viewpoints on teenage sexual exploitation! This is not surprising considering what favorite children they are of the democrat party. Let's see if I can derive some logical conclusions from this.

Several ACORN (affiliated with SEIU) offices have been found to be willing and able to provide loans and support to houses of ill repute exploiting illegal immigrant teens being sold as sex slaves. Planned Parenthood offices have been found to be willing to hide the medical support and abortions of underage teenagers whether teen or older. Both of these activities are illegal under existing US and state law. Both organizations derive hugh amounts of funding from the federal government due to the unwavering support of the democrats. Prostitution is an illegal activity which qualifies under the RICO act for prosecution if waged over state lines. Prostitution is a favorite activity of organized crime. How hard is it to derive the conclusion that the democrat party (as well as other elements of our government) is an arm of organized crime or at least definitely on their payroll?

Did no one even read the article? It was an isolated incident that PP responded to very well. Your ignorant attacks show your lack of knowledge. Democrats are mafia members and pedophiles? where did that come from.

I'm not ignorant of anything of consequence concerning this situation. Also, I am morally opposed to any of my tax dollars being used for abortion directly or indirectly. My logic here may have been a stretch but the tactics of the dems in the past 10 years has been deplorable and incomprehensibly vicious and divisive to this country. Taking my income by force for a use that I would under no circumstances allow it to be used is theft, plain and simple. I have no respect for thieves and owe them nothing.
 
I don't know.. would it really be that hard for PP just to obey the law instead of protecting men who are raping minors?
Nobody broke any laws, the woman broke PP policy and was discharged for it.

Did the democrats attack McCain for his divorce (while he preached family values)? Did they attack Sarah Palin's daughter? what deplorable tactics are you speaking of? Could you be mistaking them for the ones calling a war hero running for senate in georgia Osama bin Laden? Or the ones calling Obama a muslim terrorist/socialist/fascist?

PP has been breaking laws for years by not turning in men for raping minors. Besides why would you want to defend a racist organization?

Despite his bigoted requests, no Planned Parenthood employee (or director of development, in one case) declined the tainted money. Some even asked to speak with other employees to get permission. In the first day of calling seven clinics, not a single Planned Parenthood representative expressed outrage or concern at the racism behind donations specifically "to reduce the number of blacks." In fact, some even went as far as agreeing with the anti-black agenda.

Planned Parenthood’s 800 clinics receive more than 300 million dollars of taxpayer money annually. It is unacceptable for a nonprofit to accept donations that target specific races.

"The most obvious practitioner of racism in the United States today is Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the eugenicist Margaret Sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies" (source)
 
I'd be better able to judge this video and the PP manager if the guy actually came back with some girls pretending to be the sex slaves, and see if they had the police waiting or if he got away with it.

I have an internship with a small CPA firm right now, and since it's tax season we have to be trained in due diligence and fraud detection. If we think an individual is committing fraud or tax evasion, we are not supposed to leave the room and call the police or ask them leave or call them out. We are trained to put their records on hold and for review, but they leave the office thinking everything is ok and fine...

The guy goes in misrepresenting himself and wanting a specific reaction, throwing out stupid questions and comments and such... It's kind of disturbing how good he is at misrepresenting himself and talking about that sh*t like it was no big deal.

This videotape deserves to be taken less seriously than a Micheal Moore film...
 
Has this been a great day, or what?

Obamacare and Planned Parenthood in the same day. Christmas in mid February.

Yes, a good day, but all opinions on abortion aside, we just can't afford it. Are the Dems going to get on board for any cuts and what was the deal with the couple republicans?
Lots of programs need defunding, so we should start with ones that are questionable anyway. A while back when researching PP, I found they weren't hurting for money anyway.
 
it is a great time for us, we worked for it, we won it with principle and professionalism, the entire agenda is ours

and it's a lot bigger than obamacare on a dozen fronts (the courts, the congress, the committees, the capitols, the mandate, the funding, the irs and 1099's, the collection of personal data, the public funding of abortion, and another dozen particulars) and planed parenthood and the cpb and the irs and spending and the reg reform bill and what's going on in wisconsin and the emasculation of the epa and issa's investigations into tarp and aig and countrywide and the panthers and...

the chickens are roosting, the other side brought it all down on themselves

from the eu to el segundo, the keynesians are in collapse, the pc have expired, the uber libs are all left out

elections have consequences, and tsunami tuesday was a terror

all these agenda-reversal ASS KICKINGS are predetermined, and they are all coming off ON PRECISE SCHEDULE

there are lots and lots more

there is NOTHING the party still in power can do to change things except abjectly surrender

which it will never do, it cannot do, it is entirely too elitest and insufferably sanctimonious---it's just not in the liberal's dna

and, besides, the base would bash em

we got em, dude, congressionally, politically, even the media are cooperating almost 100%

this was all fully foreseeable to those who understand america and politics, but progressives these days are just so smugly satisfied with their own sleeve-worn sense of superiority and love of all humanity they have become oblivious to the mere existence of other people

really, my friend, things are gonna get a lot worse for this white house in the next 6 months

even the administration, always the last to know, is beginning to realize

the only thing we can do to mess things up for ourselves is to forget our professionalism or lose sight of our maturity

and THAT aint gonna happen

stay up

keep kicking ass

when the opposition is down, kick harder

FINISH!

It's not the questions that are causing the problems for PP, it's the responses to those questions.

I doubt their employees would respond in the way they did if they didn't feel comfortable with their answers. PP is in the abortion biz, ergo, the more babies they can remove from their mother's wombs , the more money they make. Follow the money.
