Planned Parenthood clinics to help register voters [W:217]

The NRA can register people to vote. Is this so different?

I mean is registering to vote a bad thing ever - if done legally?

No, it's not different. And like with the NRA registering people to vote, there's nothing wrong with PP doing the same thing.

Three percent of their business amounts to how many abortions again? It's might sound nice to say, well, it's only a small part of their business, but you should probably pay attention to how many abortions that equals.

Why? It's just a small part of what they do. In the context of DAs post, he framed it as abortion is the only thing he needs to know when discussing PP.

It's not.

Come now. White women use Planned Parenthood, too. Moreover, per abortion statistics from Guttmacher Institute, white women made up the majority of women who had abortions in 2014 (34%). Now, whether or not they had those abortions at a Planned Parenthood clinic is debatable. But linking Black women to Planned Parenthood simply because they tend to use this agency moreso than White women to resolve their feminine health issues is rather unfair and very misleading in the grand scheme of things. After all, it's not like Black women use Planned Parenthood exclusively. They just use them moreso than Whites and there are two fundamental reasons for this:

1) Income. Black women tend to be of low-income and, therefore, can't afford to go to a private clinic for their healthcare needs, especially where abortions are concerned.

2) Marriage. Because most Black women who have abortions live in urban areas where poverty is prevalent, most of these women aren't married and, as such, are more likely to abort their fetus because they don't want to raise a child out of wedlock as opposed to White women who do tend to marry more often. But even if they don't, most White women within the age group most likely to have an abortion (25-40) are more financially well-off than minorities, Black women in particular.

When you look beyond the numbers of one abortion entity, the truth reveals itself. Folks need to stop using Planned Parenthood as their moral, political scapegoat especially since statistically, abortions make up only 3% of their total services rendered.

I also think that more white women come from "richer" areas where the use of birth control pills might be much higher than in areas where there is a lot more poverty (and usually also inhabited by women from minority groups).

Do you support someone's right to commit suicide with a gun?

Do you have a problem with the NRA registering voters?

Why on earth would that matter?

Because I don't want my tax money to pay for neither abortions, nor the pushing of planned parenthood's political agenda. In still wondering if the latter isn't illegal. Thsts why it matters. How would you react if the NRA received tax payer funded subsidies?

How does registering voters push any political agenda tat you think exists? There's nothign illegal about helping people register to vote. I belong to the NRA so it wouldn't both me as long as it wasn't their super pac or any super pac..

Registering someone to vote doesn't push a political agenda.

The NRA doesn't provide a service I think deserves subsidy, but if they start providing healthcare they can certainly be qualified.

Planned parenthood needs to decide if it's going to be a political group, or offer medical services. It doesn't need to be doing both. It has already exhibited a propensity to break the law. They don't need to trusted with voter registration.

Voter registration can present a scenario where planned parenthood could attempt to influence voter decisions. Not with my money.
 
Planned Parenthood will soon begin registering people to vote at its clinics across the country in the midst of an election year that has spurred the group’s first-ever presidential primary endorsement.

The group, which serves about 2.5 million patients each year, says it will register voters “regardless of their background, beliefs, or political ideology.” The effort will be run by volunteers in 45 states.

But the campaign, which will take place in person as well as online, will likely help Democrats. Planned Parenthood patients tend to skew younger and lower-income, and many are also minorities.

Democrats give Planned Parenthood money, and planned parenthood delivers Democratic voters. What could possibly be wrong with that?

That doesn't answer the question since what you are complaining about isn't different from anybody helping register people? Also Your money plays no role.

Republicans give them money too, why post a false narrative.

Why? I belong to the NRA, they do voter registration, do you feel they have to do one of the other also?

How would you like the NRA to receive government subsidies and start registering voters? You would support that?

Of course my money plays a role. Planned Parenthood gets my money.

You are still not answering my question. Why are you avoiding it? Why would it bother me if the NRA received government funds? No your money doesn't play a role because they government money they get is regulated and used for specific things.
 
More abortions, less thieves and murderers. Eugenics works and Planned Parenthood is the tip of that spear. Margaret Sanger would be proud.
 
I am not sure I understand what the beef is, with any group registering voters.

You love dodging questions don't you. Does the NRA have to decided also? Yes, they have sent me voter registration info to make sure I vote to protect my second amendment rights. So in one swift move they send me a way to register and tell me I should use it for and idea they support. I agree with their idea but nonetheless they do. So are you against that or is that some how different?
