Neither. Stupid poll.
 
Planned Parenthood literally kills people. There's no contest.

Neither started as a political group though PP always had some lobbying history. The NRA really didn't get political until the Democrats-in an attempt to stave off Nixon's "Southern Strategy" of playing to white suburban voters fears of mainly black street crime-adopted gun control as a facade of doing SOMETHING about violent crime

when gun owners became scapegoats for the Dems' facade, the NRA became political since it already was up and running as a gun owners group

How the Public Views Planned Parenthood and the NRA - NBC News

NRA revenue - $348 million
Planned Parenthood revenue - 185 million

NRA - hated by liberals, PP hated by conservatives.

Why do you think think liberals hate guns...I have a feeling a lot of liberals, especially in red states, own guns.
There are two sides to PP, the health care side and the abortion side. So your question is slanted as being preconceived to be hated by conservatives. Abortion can and is hated by many on both sides of the political spectrum, especially late term.
 
Planned Parenthood is a women's health clinic, not a political entity.

I don't see how you can validly compare a health care provider with a gun organization. Apples and oranges.

The gun organizations generate a lot of business for the healthcare providers. They also do a lot of the funeral industry.
 
OrphanSlug said:
Not a very valid comparison, voted other.

Planned Parenthood may also be a political entity, but they are also a healthcare provider. You may only see an abortion provider, but they also have a primary care practice, preventative screening service for types of cancer and sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

The NRA is a political entity with the purpose of protecting the 2nd Amendment and providing training, education and marksmanship.

They both have their positive aspects, and both have their criticism rooted in political opposition (for the most part.) As such, I am not so sure anyone can really be objective enough to suggest one is "worse" than the other. When doing so, that same politics comes out as to why.

'...as they see it'...
 
well, IMO, PP is worse.. simply because they cost taxpayers money in subsidies and such.

the NRA is privately funded by it's members, they don't recieve any federal subsidies/funds

incorrect, the NRA doesn't generate any business for healthcare providers... or the funeral industry.

Considering we have 4 to 5 times the murder rate (or more) of any of our modern industrialized peers, they certainly do indirectly generate business for healthcare and funeral providers. After all, guns don't kill people but they make it a hell of a lot easier. There is a reason why outside of bow season, we always hunted with guns. I mean hey, I am a lifelong gun owner and ain't given mine up for anyone, but lets call a spade here. There is a cost to all of us having guns, and that is we kill each other at a much higher rate than our modern peer nations do because all those guns we all have make it a lot easier to do so.

They lobby congress just like the NRA and many other groups do and in that respect they are a political entity.
 
Any political entity that tries to deny others the rights that its members claim is one of the worse.

Come back and tell us all about it after you spend several years locked up in one of them.

Healthcare providers and the funeral industry spend a lot of time taking care of people who have been killed by members of the NRA.

...unfortunately some children don't make it out alive.

Men also go to Planned Parenthood. So it is a misnomer to call it a women's health clinic.

Over eighty countries have birth rates below replacement rate. In countries where the birth rate is still above replacement rates the birth rates are decreasing.

Probably do to economical/war reasons and not abortions.
 
Bucky said:
I voted for Planned Parenthood because they provide a service that directly leads to death of a non protected class group of people. The NRA is a non-discriminatory organization that provides services and education for self-preservation.
One organization is rooted in constitutional rights while another group engages in lawless discriminatory behavior.

It isn't lawless. Dishonesty is dishonest.

American Muslims much like the UK Muslims generally are refugees from the mainstreams of their religion. Wanting to live in peace and not violence and holding on to their religion (it IS a religion and has been since the BC eras, history is neat) because they likely don't have a better alternative or it is tradition. Or they believe the tenants but don't want to engage in the violent acts (just like most modern Christians don't run around burning witches).
"Rounding up" anyone who is "identified" as a Muslim would be akin to the witch trials and witch hunts (how would this even be legislated?). The Muslim extremists who are a threat don't mind lying about their religion or are you proposing to round up anyone who "looks" Muslim?
I would assume your level of ignorance is not that deep but I only have this post to judge and the evidence is not in the benefit of the doubt level of charity here.
Don't try to throw your rhetoric and propaganda into the mix and then dismiss anyone from responding with "let's not talk about this".

So a healthcare provider can kill for any reason it feels like and be called a healthcare provider? So what, providing death is the same thing as providing healthcare?
Click to expand...
No. It can kill by a strict guideline of rules and laws. The same way a hospital can take someone off of life support through a series of strict rules and laws.
Its all very legal.

I'm sure Bucky doesn't "look Muslim enough" to ever have to worry about that. ;)
 
Politics is fairly evil enough on its own to really contribute much of it to either of these organizations.
Thus. Other.
