Freeper Gets Bill From Planned Parenthood for $77,000!!!

This came in the U.S. Mail | November 27, 2002 | Saundra Duffy

You will prevail. Go for bucks though. As a practitioner I find that cases in my professon that win dollars are widely disseminated and respected. Going to court to make a point, on the other hand, is not important to end users of any rulings. That has been my experience...

Hope you hid your assets under a corporate umbrella.

[Eaker]

Bump for later reading.

IF you do lose, I'm sure that Freepers could pitch in and make it painless:

I.E. 10,000 freepers each contribute $7.70 or
.....100,000 freepers each contribute 77 cents?

There are a number of types of actions where it is loser pays. In federal court, it depends on what type of claim for relief you are pursuing. For instance, in federal court, if you sue someone on a copyright claim for relief, the loser pays. If you are in state court, it depends on what state court and what type of cause of action you have brought on. It may very well be that in Michigan, they have a loser pays statute for the type of action that Saundra brought on.

That would be nice. Why do I invariably find myself in a situation where I'm VOLUNTEERING my time and talent and end up getting crapped on? Huh! WHY??????

[Saundra Duffy]

I don't have any assets. That's the good news.

[FreeTheHostages]

Well, that's kinda what happened to Jesus Christ.

I note how many people here have said God Bless you.

"Since "loser pays" is not part of the US legal system, you had to have a really lousy case--or a really inept advocate.

Which one do you think it is?"

You must not be familiar with the American legal system. There is a third choice...an extremely biased judge. How else could you explain forced busing, Roe v Wade, or the recent New Jersey decision to allow Lautenberg on the ballot?

[Poohbah]

There are some things a judge does not do at the trial level--and frivolous fining is one of them.

I dunno - maybe because you live in a world which you have divided up into a set of rigid ideologies with fanatic devotion, and are easily misled by incompetent activists.

[blackdog]

Liberals receive bills every day, they just don't pay them. Time to become a financial liberal.

[Saundra Duffy]

I won't hear of it, FReeper pal. We're not going to have to give any money to Planned Parenthood. Everything will be fine. Don't you worry your pretty little head. Have a great Thanksgiving. I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm heading to Reno to have Thanksgiving with my Dad. God bless you. For victory & freedom!!!

[MHGinTN]

Diago, you failed to cite the very real possibility that the case came before a liberal/leftist judge.

Saundra, are you aware of the much higher than average cancer of breast and cervix for women in Marin county ... higher than normal abortion rate there also.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Ask Saundra the basis of the suit, what her standing was to become a plaintiff, and whether she or the others ever had an abortion or were ever interested in obtaining one.

[Saundra Duffy]

I dunno - maybe because you live in a world which you have divided up into a set of rigid ideologies with fanatic devotion, and are easily misled by incompetent activists.

I see I made a mistake by making that dumb statement in the first place. I take it back!

[Saundra Duffy]

Saundra, are you aware of the much higher than average cancer of breast and cervix for women in Marin county ... higher than normal abortion rate there also.

Now it's funny that you mentioned this. Yes, I read about this. Some people were going around Marin County taking some kind of survey trying to figure out why there's a high incidence of breast cancer BUT THEY WERE NOT ASKING THE CRUCIAL QUESTION ABOUT ABORTION!!! I wrote to Karen Malek about it and sent her the newspaper article. Thanks for bringing this up. For victory & freedom!!!

You were a very bad person in a past life? ;^)

Seriously there is a reason why we are told "Be not weary of well doing" This is apparently the way things are set up so that we keep on doing the right thing because it is the right thing and not for some future earthly reward.

No it is not fair. It is not even just. But that is the way it goes. Could be worse, you could have healed a crippled and been stoned for your trouble.

If it turns out that you do have to pay the bill be sure to post about it. I am sure we can pass the hat.

Wow. You're really a card-carrying, ankle-biting, spittle-flecked, wild-eyed, lifetime-membership jerk, aren't you?
