For your interest.

I'm not sure why "Planned Parenthood" has taken an interest in this issue, but I always feel safe taking a position opposite theirs.

[GloriaJane]

I think planed parenthood has taken this on because it's too much like religion for them to feel safe about it.

They're afraid of religion creeping into the minds of their potential customers because religion makes people see life as a gift from God and not to be destroyed.

With planed parenthood, it's all about the money.

Flushing the money.

[PatrickHenry]

Not exactly news, but perhaps we should ping the list. What do y'all think?

[Junior]

Sure. With allies like Planned Parenthood, who needs enemies?

[PatrickHenry]

Being associated, even indirectly, with Planned Parenthood is distasteful, but this foreshadows how the MSM is going to play this issue: the pro-science good-guys (i.e. the leftwing freakoid dems) against the dimwitted anti-science conservatives. I've seen this coming and it's very troubling, because this is probably the one issue where the dems are correct. Not that they're all that scientific, given their history of backing global warming, "scientific" socialism, and junk-science litigation, but this time the conservatives are whacked out, and the dems will take full advantage.

So I'll crank up the ping machine ...

A pro-evolution science list with over 280 names. See the list's description at my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail to be added or dropped.

Thanks for the ping!

Not this time. I agree 100% and this is damaging the conservative party in a big way IMHO.

Religion should not be taught in a science class. And make no mistake, ID is religion, just all wrapped up in a pretty wrapper to try and sound scientific even though it is not.

[visualops]

It's more than distasteful, and I think it's intellectually dishonest to decry the insertion of ideology in the classroom when in reality the only reason they don't like it is because it isn't their preferred ideology. Science is science and as such is the pursuit of truth. As a Catholic, I know that truth cannot contradict truth, and I have no problem with whatever theories science puts forward in an attempt to explain the world around us. Planned Parenthood and their ilk are not the least bit interested in truth.

Only in the extremist doctrines of the orthodoxy of Humanist Secularism does abortion-on-demand find a root, and only in those same extemist doctrines is godless evolution rooted. One root, same tree. The "Planned [non-]Parenthood" people are smart enough to understand the connect.

Note the difference between extremist and wacko branches of this religion. Planned Parenthood and Evolutionism are off the extremist trunk. Scientology and UFO-SETI-SAGAN folks are off the wacko trunk.

Total codswallop!

Clueless. A refund on your education may be in order.

As you well know, there are plenty of Christiians who are pro-life but who also accept evolution.

[RightWingAtheist]

I'm an atheist and evolutionist and I am also pro-life. The efforts to force ID into science education are comparable to attempts to force the sex-positive agenda into sex education.

[Aquinasfan]

Of course Planned Infanticide is upset. The group was founded and run by atheists.

The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

I look at this as an example of stopped clock phenomena.

[curiosity]

"but I always feel safe taking a position opposite theirs."

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is an example
