1 Were you to have sex, you might worry that offspring might follow. And bringing up baby in BushWorld is not the wisest course. Better to abort than to keep populating this shithole world with more and more packrats and ne'er-do-wells, who clearly deserve much better. As a male, I am relieved that the onus is not on us. What is on us is the anus, and the anus cannot reproduce. At least not effectively. And because of this, we do not have to ever worry about being saddled with an unwanted child. For a female, this is not so easy. They don't like rubbers either. Granted, it sounds slack to make such comments, but alas, many people are slack. If, during a war written about in a bible, a general says to "lay them all waste", we should not take that to mean that all people should lay all people to waste for all time. The same can be said for "Be fruitful and multiply." If it were written today, it would say "Enough already!" No one likes the act of abortion, but most are glad it is an option. Face it. Life is not as magical and santa claus as we are told. Everyone dies. No big deal. Go war. The great aborter. Anyway...howdy! Happy Newish Year.

2 This post isn't about supporting or opposing abortion -- it's about an organization that is committing a clear crime for profit, but no one seems to care about it. Is it ok if *I* commit a crime if it's for profit?

3 Sorry...I had to read and write too fast. If PP is acting in an untoward and profiteering manner, certainly expose them, and bring them to justice. I don't know about you, but I'd love it if decent, honest, and charitable souls would rise, and that mediocre, greedy lying types would just go away...regardless of political persuasion. I suspect there is a structural flaw in the financial system which causes people to at least feel like they need more and more...and after a while crime becomes necessary to achieve it. A carrot chase. Beneath ogres and nonnies. Best to ya! Dave

4 This is a old issue. PP has been doing this for sometime and has been under investigation for covering up rapes before. In one case the refused to give age and payment information from their files to police investigating rapes. You notice how abortion providers talk about "a womanÂ’s right" until they are blue in the face but the strongest supporters of abortion are men. This is disgusting and I have not tolerance for it. Nothing is more abusive to a girl than to be raped and to have the rapist force you into an abortion to cover up his crime. These people are the antitheist of womenÂ’s rights.

5 Good for you for bringing it to the light. How can anyone defend that "company's" behavior?

6 I don't really have an oppinion on this at this time. I don't know enough about Plan Parenthood to be able to make an informed decision and I don't have the time to do the research right now. All I can say is that if it is related to medical treatment, NOW they may be legally obligated NOT to give details about their patients.

7 Indeed, Dave, the carrot chase it out of control! Mindflame, yes, it's an old issue, but PP keeps breaking the law, and no one cares. And Contagion -- have I not provided enough information? If an 11 year old shows up anywhere, claiming to be pregnant, that's a crime. That's rape in any state. To not report a known felony is a crime as well, medical treatment or not. This would be the same as a doctor who treated a bank robber who was shot and didn't report the gunshot wound.

8 Ogre, unfortunately laws differ from state to state. In Illinois, where I live and have a law degree, it is not illegal to not report a rape. The medical profession has to follow the patients wishes. It's up to the victims to file a police report. Even if the police know that a rape has occured AND whom the victim is, if the victim doesn't want to file charges owell. Now we have the manner of an 11 year old. This changes some of the laws. That is where I would have to do some research, as well as is Plan Parenthood actually providing medical treatment or are they just helping pay for it.

9 I'm pretty sure (not being in IL I'm not positive), that what you describe is exactly correct -- for adults. I'm almost sure it's a crime in IL to not report a felony when a minor is the victim.
