Pro-Life Advocate Encourages Exposing Komen-Planned Parenthood Link

Givign money to "abortion providers" wouldn't, but PP does a lot of things besides abortion, including providing breast exam services and includes breast self-exam in many of its educational programs. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/pp-services-5552.htm Personally, I wouldn't give a penny to PP because they show far more interest in promoting socialism than in promoting individual reproductive freedom and reproductive health for women. But ranting about how a breast cancer charity shouldn't give money to PP because PP somehow promotes breast cancer is just irrational nonsense, since PP does not do anything that promotes breast cancer and does do some things which promote early detection and thus better cure rates for breast cancer. It's also likely that SKF's donations to PP are earmarked for breast cancer-related programs; they are certainly dependent on the fact that PP has longstanding programs relating to breast cancer. To a woman whose early breast cancer is detected during a PP-provided breast exam, or during a self-exam she performed after being taught how to do so by PP, I'm sure that SKF's donations to PP make perfect sense.

Cook your meta-analyses anyway you wish, Shrinker.
These groups recognize the link.

Thanks for the link. The naysayers (who do, after all, have a lot to lose by any inadvertent expressions of candor) fight open discussion of this topic with the same self-righteous bluster that acolytes of man-made global warming do.

Let's examine the "abortion sacrament" from its likely results from a sociologic standpoint and not from its moral turpitude side which is repulsive and has led to other chaotic damage to the American Family.

If you are a Libertarian, it is a great boon for personal freedom, I suppose. It is also an open invitation to see birth rates of the indigenous members of the U.S. plummet which invites in our neighbors of Hispanic background and also peoples from countries the Philippines (nurses are in short supply--ask California; doctors--US wide), India (engineers, physics practitioners), etc. The Hispanics tend to be Christian, a good many are Catholic, and so the U.S. is slowly becoming a brown-skinned and perhaps eventual Catholic country (estimates are 2050 is the cross-over).

Since the history of democracy to our South is problematic, we may eventually end up with a monarchy which has always been of benefit to my religion anyway so let it come.

But hey, it is a liberal sacrament so let's let the teens abort and use all sorts of birth control. It won't stop the trend now and neither will the mile high fence.

Harry A. Blackmun...social engineer.

When a woman becomes pregnant, her body gears up to support the pregnancy. An abortion is an operation that suddenly shuts that down, causing physical and sometimes mental trauma. The effect is quite unlike a natural abortion. A therpeutic abortion can, therefore, not really be called therapy, and such interventions are compounded when the abortionists bitches the procedure. Does an abortion "cause" breast cancer? My guess is that only in the sense that a bullet wound might cause a stroke. Neither would is good for the victim. The main difference is that doctors usually don't shoot their patients.

Blackmun's deeper genius, running beyond his wit as a judge, was that he knew just who had the power to pronounce him one of the premier jurists of the age. And when he died on Thursday, he went on to his reward with the angels of the media and the law schools praising his memory.

Many thanks! I did not know of that article. It is a gem!
