Moveon.org Rally in Indy

[grimor]

I actually support funding planned parenthood. Abortions and birth control to all, helps keep the population down. We all know "not having sex if you can't afford birth control" just isn't going to happen. After all, if you can't afford a TV, what else is there to do?

According to census reports, almost every poor household has a color television with satellite or cable. Not subsidizing their children would be the more effective route of reducing the number of children born.

You want to see mad liberals, just wait until the welfare money runs dry.

The purpose of an open carry event would be?

In this particular case bullying and intimidation... count me in!

Yeah, they were rioting up in South Bend too. I guess I didn't realize moveon.org was so widespread.

Where were the riots? Most of my family live there and no one heard of the riots.

Apparently peaceful protesting is rioting. Can we use the terms interchangeably now? It would certainly help write news stories. "Armed group begins rioting in opposition of potential assault weapon ban"

Then feel free to write them a check.

Public funding of any such organization (whether Planned Parenthood or "Nuns for Abstinence") is inherently criminal.

It is used interchangeably based on political spin.

Its a who's who of the ultra left wing organizations!

The only group not listed is their great Mother Organization. The Communist or National Socialist Peoples Party.

Seems like people miss out on lots of the good Planned Parenthood does. They provide an important service to young women. Everyone, especially the conservatives largely in present company on this site, are unhappy about the tax-funded abortions. I get that, and although I share a different view on it, I can see not wanting public funds supporting that. They should make that a separate part and keep documentation to show that no abortions were performed using any tax-funded money.

A friend used to go there to get her yearly check-ups, birth control, and various female-doctor oriented things when her parents were too religious to believe that such check-ups were required. If planned parenthood wasn't around there would be lots more early pregnancies, misinformation, and less healthy young women. I realize it seems like a liberal tact but planned parenthood is a good thing and should be funded. For many women, including my wife, it is the sole source of female-related medical care. At this point in our lives we can afford to pay for it, but when we couldn't it was dirt cheap / free.

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force will be supporting this.

Well this changes everything!!!!

What are they gong to do? Dress in latex a$$less pants riding unicorns into battle shooting rainbows?

It would become a shell game at that point. Tax money would still be used to fund abortions (indirectly). I'm not even addressing the fact that there is NO Constitutional authority to fund Planned Parenthood for any reason in the first place.

Did a crystal ball tell you that? A system could be dreamed up to keep it separate...people could get creative.

Can't disagree with you there. But that's certainly not stopped the government funding of a million other agencies, programs, people's checkbooks, etc. If we're cutting spending on all that other crap then by all means throw PP in with it. But until then it's a place that serves a purpose.

... people could get creative. ...

You got that part right. I would even say that they (Planned Parenthood) would get creative.

No crystal ball needed. It only takes a basic understanding of human nature to realize that PP would find a way. Just underfund the stuff that is allowed to be taxpayer supported and shift those organizational funds to support abortions. Make up the difference in the underfunded programs with taxpayer funds. Presto! You now have de facto taxpayer support of abortion. The only way to be sure is to have zero taxpayer funding of PP.

Serving a purpose does not equate with being Constitutionally legitimate. You have to start cutting somewhere and PP shouldn't get a pass.

Don't knock it until you tried it.

Anywho, those Indy Dems still out of town? Does this count towards their vacation days? If they are out of town do I still have to pay taxes and abide by the law?
