Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

It seems that while the House of Representatives may only be meeting for 97 (or 123) days, they still have way too much time on their hands. Rep. Carolyn Mulroney has introduced a bill to "Protect" women seeking family planning from seeking such advice at "Abortion Alternative" Family Planning Clinics.

Protection from alternatives?  Let's get real for a second.  Women seeking abortion are not seeking help in Family planning, they are seeking help in avoiding Family Planning.  Because Abortion is the ultimate family stopper (given a family being defined as parents and children, not just parents).

So why do they have to pass a law against clinics that counsel alternatives?  If a women goes to one, after reading they are promoting "Alternatives" to abortion, she is probably aware they are not going to push her into having an abortion.  That is not deceit.  That is just plain advertising!

Or is it the moniker of "Family Planning" that must now include the option of Abortion?  I thought this was all about choice?  If indeed it is about choice, then why are they trying to make abortion the only mandatory choice?  That is not choice, that is Political Correctness gone amok!

None of these 'so called' deceitful clinics are preventing any single woman from getting an abortion.  They are merely presenting alternatives for the woman willing to listen.  Last I checked, they were not holding these women against their will, or slipping them a mickey until the baby is born to prevent an abortion.  And that is deceitful?

Spitzer, the over eager AG of New York has already gone after these clinics 4 years ago, only to be severely embarrassed and then withdrew his suit with his tail tucked between his legs.  Now, what the abortion activists cannot do legally, they are trying to make legal. 

Which is a sham and sad.  Sad that Choice does not stand for choice, unless the choice is abortion.

"I try to use it as a way of reminding myself of why I write. I am sorry that it seems to irk you enough to mention it. "


Mellow Greetings, what seems to be your boggle?

No worries. Nothing wrong with honestly admitting one is irked, wouldn't you say? As opposed to acting irked all the time and covering it with a nice greeting...

Be Well,

That kind of thing has been going as long as there was people too.

Ever heard of "powdering nose" used in place of "I'm going to pee and poop."

I do support abortion, I won't get into arguments this time, but glossing it over? I don't like it either.

The palms together is a greeting, like a handshake

Or like Darmok, at Jillad.  No problem on my part.  I guess one just has to accept that as your "hello", and then read the message.

More PC attempts to control thought through language. In their minds "family planning" should only mean killing an unborn child and they want to control people's thoughts by banning any other (and more accurate) use of the verbage.

And that is what they are setting themselves up for.  What will kill abortion on demand is not the right wing christians, or any legislature.  It is their own rabid doctrine.

I guess this is the dawn of the age of aquarius.

I understand there are a lot of good people who do support abortions.  And while that is not my view, I can respect them.  I get offended when they co-opt a phrase like "Family planning" to mean abortions to the exclusions of all else.

More like Darmok and Jillad at Tenagra... whether we end up on the boat together is debateable at this point. I guess we need some creepy invisible beast to unite us.

Over the top on this one: family planning is as a rule for those who already have children--perhaps too many?

It is about choice, as long as your choice is their choice.

Leave it to a trekkie!

I would like to see stats on that, because I sincerely doubt it.  IN any event, family planning does not equal abortion.  IN any stretch of the imagination.

Unfortunately, that is what the Pro Choice side has become.
