Quote:Despite how anti-abortionists want to brand the topic, the concept of abortion isn't one pro-choicer's take flippantly.  An abortion, is the termination of a potential person.  It's not something that should be taken lightly.  It's been a while since I've done the research, but I think around 16 to 20 weeks should be some sort of cut off area--except for extreme circumstance (rape/incest/harm to mother).

 

I haven't seen these PP videos, but I've heard them described by republicans on Fox and Morning Joe.  Maybe I'm cynical, but the outrage I've heard from pundits seems too rehersed.  Yeah, abortion isn't a nice procedure.  They act like they've never thought about how an abortion works.  The other thing is that they are going after PP as this evil organization.  They ignore all the benefits that PP has on the society.  

 

I find it odd that those on the Pro-Choice side can see the concerns on the Anti-Abortion side, but it seems republicans just cannot bear to even consider an opposing viewpoint.  They just stick their fingers in their ears and just keep saying their position, over and over and over again.  (present company excluded, of course).

 

Defunding PP is dumb, because PP get's private funding for the abortions they conduct.  Why defund the benefits of PP because you are anti-abortion?  It's already against the law to fund any abortion with federal money!  

 

1.) in all this time that we have been talking about this you haven't seen one of the videos?  that's pretty telling.  

 

2.) The videos clearly demonstrate that Planned parenthood is in open violation of Federal law regarding how abortions are to be conducted and how the human remains are to be treated.  This isn't about pro choice vs. pro life.  This is about whether or not we should continue public funding of a criminal enterprise.
