Got a FReepmail from somebody... here's the exchange with my (longer) answer:

Komen was right to reverse course. Having an abortion is a decision that should be made between a woman and her doctor. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAY OUT!

The Government isn't involved here. Neither Planned Parenthood or Komen-for-the-cure are government agencies. You're reading that wrong. Here's the problems I have with it:

1. Komen had been publicly saying that all donations go to breast cancer research. For years, that has been a lie. That's problem #1.

2. Research has proven a link between abortions and increased risk of breast cancer. In other words, support by Komen for the leading abortion provider in America is counter-productive to their stated cause.

3. Just the idea that Komen's purpose is - in theory - to save lives runs against the the purpose of abortion: to take lives.

Now... there's the "logic" behind this... obviously if you're supporting a pro-choice potion, you're in the minority on this site... obviously you know my view. However, like you, I also believe the Government shouldn't be involved... I will explain.

a. I believe Planned Parenthood should be completely defunded from government budgets around the nation.

b. I believe there should be no taxpayer support for abortion in health care, medicade, medicare, health plans for government workers, or anything that mingles taxpayer dollars and abortion.

b. A Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of the unborn to live would settle the matter forever and the government would be able to ignore it forever. Life should be preserved, even from the womb. If a pregnancy is unwanted, it can be prevented before it even starts -- that's the proper and responsible way to make it happen.

However, right now, abortion is being treated as if it is a God-given right - like the freedom of speech. Clearly, that's outside of the Constitution... and things outside of the Constitution's mandates should neither exist nor be funded.

Thanks for coming by.

My previous post, to which I was thinking she was sending the FRmail in reply, had already explained that abortion is correlated with higher incidence of breast cancer, with the implicit implication of the Komen Foundation as either clueless or macabre. So I wasn't quite as patient in my reply to her FReepmail.

I take it you think the child is property.

Are you property?

When did you become alive?

When did you become a person?

So, if someone wanted to kill you, to whom would you turn if not the government?

If someone wants to kill a baby, to whom does the baby turn?

You are therefore lying as a matter of convenience because the matter of who dies is not just between you and the doctor. There is a third party involved, the baby.

If the baby becomes dehumanized, so do you.

QED.

Glad to help with your deficient education,

CO

Couple of holes in the loop, but I was trying to make it tight.
