Point Jindal
By Mitch Berg
One of the reasons I love Bobby Jindal:
In a just world, all of the people who are saying “Donald Trump says all the things nobody else will say” will shut up long enough to see Bobby Jindal, y’know, saying all sorts of things nobody will supposedly say, and start thinking seriously again.

Well said DMA.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/08/12/for-planned-parenthood-abortion-stats-3-percent-and-94-percent-are-both-misleading/
Only 3% of the individual services provided by Planned Parenthood relate to abortion. All the rest are for contraception 34%, STD screening and treatment 42%, cancer screenings, PRENATAL CARE, Adoption referrals, etc. There is a tragic lack of medical care in many parts of the country, especially for those areas where the poor are badly under-served. No Conservatives are funding the deficiency. Jindal’s position is – in effect – PRO-STDs, PRO-unwanted pregnancies, and PRO-Cancer — and anti-women and anti-children and anti-families.
It is PRO-poverty, since lack of control over reproduction means greater poverty.
There is a reason Jindal is widely hated in his own state — and that includes by conservatives.
Those videos are crap, not a valid basis for any decision. If you like fact-averse shit that is nothing but dishonest propaganda, instead of serious discussion, shame on you.
Here is a more FACTUALLY based view of the services provided by Planned Parenthood, including a discussion on how they are counted and the costs.
All that Jindal has guaranteed is that more women –and men, because men receive services at PP as well — are going to be ill and die, including leaving children without mothers. All Jindall has guaranteed is that communities in his state will be afflicted with preventable STDs.
There is a reason red states are consistently shit holes compared to liberal states – it has to do with effective spending on public health, and it has to do with effective and factual comprehensive sexual education that addresses human sexuality as a reality, not religion driven stupidity.
Nothing could better illustrate the chasm, the veritable abyss, between the reality of human sex and sexuality, and the gross ignorance and hypocrisy of the right than the recent Ashley Madison hacking that showed sanctimonious pervy little Josh Duggar from neighboring Arkansas to be not only a pedophile who molested his sisters, used porn while on a job (and apparently a WHOLE lot since then), and now we find was committing multiple adulteries on his wife, and has a face book account full of exclusively women friends who are apparently strippers and lingerie models, etc. Then of course Jindal’s state has the famously sanctimonious ‘family values’ Prostitute visiting Sen. David Vitter, or the Ashley Madison account holder who happens to be the executive director of the LA GOP.
Rarely does a conservative in any substantive position of authority make a rational and/or factually informed statement relating to sex, gender, sexual orientation, or reproduction, or incest and rape.
This is just one of the many failures of conservative failed thinking – arranged child marriages. Yup – those religious righties like em married off young and stupid and dependent, like Duck Dynasty Phil Robinson, another Lousy-anian.
No, not point Jindal; no win for anyone, only losses and epic failure. Nothing about Jindal is a success, and very little about LA is.

Bahahaha! Scattered ’em like cockroaches.

answer this directly DG with this snapshot of PP/abortion in MN
For the year 2014 in MN there were 10,123 abortions.
Out of that total 8,602 identified their race.
Blacks (5.7% of population) had 2,295 abortions or 26.67% of total,
Whites (86.2% of population) had 5,336 abortions or 62% of total,
American Indians(1.3% of population) had 253 abortions or 2.94% of total
and Asians(4.5% of population) had 718 abortions or 8.35% of total
Doesn’t this look like organized black genocide to you?

DG- I thought Obamacare gave women the access and coverage for those services.
August 24th, 2015 at 9:42 am
DG,
As usual, everything you write is either wrong, or wrong AND a threadjack.
3-8% of Planned Parenthood’s services are abortions – when you count visits. Which is about as honest as a garage saying it did nine oil changes and replaced one transmission, so only 10% of their business is replacing transmissions. True – but the revenue is another whole thing.
Question, DG: The GOP is pushing a bill to make The Pill a non-prescription, over the counter medication – making it vastly more affordable to regular people. PP is fighting it. Why do you suppose that is?
As to Ashley Madison – who the hell gives a gawdblessed crap?

“It is PRO-poverty, since lack of control over reproduction means greater poverty.” DG is channeling Margaret Sanger.

Social Hygiene = DG = PP = Margaret Sanger Negro Project

“It is PRO-poverty, since lack of control over reproduction means greater poverty.”
Why not reduce poverty by killing adult poor people? *shrugs*
August 24th, 2015 at 1:18 pm
I heard a tiny cockroach voice, squeaking from under a rotting log “Only 3% of their services involve tearing live human beings apart, limb from bloody limb, and selling the parts!”
So I stepped on it…then I did a happy dance on the tiny puddle of mush as another state cut funding for Planned Baby Parts.

Well, as far as the party that worships death is concerned, they’d be HIGHLY favorable of post term abortions, up to and including brain death, regardless of age. As long as those that were aborted were conservative republicans.
There still is no answer to the glaring contradiction between a woman who chooses to abort her baby, celebrating “reproductive freedom”, but anyone else who chooses to abort a woman’s baby thru external means, committing murder. Life is life whether it is wanted or not.
But to them, not all lives are equal. The inconvenienced female, gays, ethnic minorities and black criminals rank far higher than most other categories.
But what do you expect from the party that worships death?

Well, the PP videos explain those mysterious PP email references to “the great culling” and “recruiting a sufficient number of feasters.”
August 24th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
“It is PRO-poverty, since lack of control over reproduction means greater poverty.”
And yet, poverty is a pervasive as ever, despite sacrificing 60 million people.

Love him but won’t last long without gaining traction. Make him the next and last Secretary of Education.

It’s always a chore to dig through the layers of idiocy in a DG comment.
A good point to start is that “lack of control over reproduction means greater poverty” has zero meaning when applied to aborting a living human fetus.
It is as though DG reads opinion pieces written by the most extreme, radical leftists and assumes not only that that their opinions stand up to a simple test of logic, but are so convincing, so rationally argued, that anyone who finds the reasoning poor and the points unproven must be both stupid and evil.
August 24th, 2015 at 5:16 pm
Blue, it’s obviously true that DG restricts her information intake to the bloviations of leftist biodigesters, but you miss a step. After sucking up all the leftist fertilizer her limited brain pan can hold, she carefully sifts out all the the extraneous effluvient, and delivers stupidity in it’s purest form.

The federal government must fund Planned Parenthood because
PP must give free condoms to people so the don’t conceive and
PP must kill the babies they do conceive because
No child should be born into poverty because
Their mothers were too selfish or ignorant to use
the one means of birth control that works every time its tried:
abstinence
Yep, sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Low cost, easily available abortion is so much like a devil’s bargain out of folklore that you would think that people would instinctively be suspicious of it. Sex without consequences — but the price is paid in the lives of children.
an interesting thing about the two versions of Faust I’ve read (Marlow and Goethe) is that in both Faust pursues his own damnation. He will not swerve from his course.
PP supporters want to make it seem as though abortion is just another form of birth control, but it’s not. No one is talking about making condoms or the pill or IUD’s illegal. No one is saying that a woman must take on the responsibility of raising the child she gives birth to. Just take away the 3% of of PP’s procedures that result in dead babies. That doesn’t seem too much to ask, does it?
August 25th, 2015 at 8:22 am
The point ideologues like DG miss is that putting PP out of business doesn’t reverse Roe v Wade. It just puts a particularly egregious criminal organization out of business. In the marketplace for legal abortions there is no place for the criminal activities of Kermit Gosnell or PP.
DG if you want to go have your uterus scraped you still can, don’t worry, no reason to change your lifestyle

Good point, Blue. beat back on them with their own spin of the data.
