  1. Freedom of choice is for everyone; it is conservatives who keep trying to end that freedom of choice, by any means fair or foul…….mostly foul.

    So please enumerate these “foul” means. Because I think your’e repeating a chanting point you read on Kos/ThinkProgress/MM4A again. (I’ll flatter all three by acting as if they’re distinct).

    I don’t think you can. You never do.

    Conservatives depend on rampant ignorance among their base.

    And as I show every day on this blog, so do “progressives”.

    And no, not intimidates, but challenges the dishonesty. Factcheck.org did an excellent job of disproving this right wing lie about body chop shops.

    I read it – and no, it does not. It deflects to a couple of side issues; the money, the law and “scientific usefulness”.

    It dodges the real issue; PP does late-term abortions of thoroughly “viable” pre-natal children.

    And the word “Lamborghini” never pops up in the story. Wonder why that is?

    Do us a favor, DG; defend your absurd premise. You have been, for the umpteenth time, been weighed and found wanting.

  2. DG,
    Clearly you support abortion ,and PP how can you deny your own White privilege and genocidal racism of the following statistics?

    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

  3. By the way, DG – the guy in Louisiana turned out not to be “one of us.”.

    And the “guys with guns”, the Navy Commander and the Marine, were very likely the heroes of the day, as usually happens with citizens shoot at spree killers.

    I think you owe us a couple of apologies.

    And I keep asking you for clarification from last week; do you actually believe that gender-reassignment surgery alters DNA? Please clarify – because if that’s what you believe, that’s incredibly ignorant.

  4. DG

    Further examining your White Privilege;
    of the 10,123 abortions performed in MN last year the corpses were disposed of as follows;
    35 were buried
    4,417 were cremated (whether in part or wholly is not specified)
    5,671 were not reported
    could you get your good friends at PP to divulge how many of those corpses were monetized?

  5. DG
    is the reason you and your fellow middle class white women campaign so strenuously for legalization of late term abortions that you know you can get more money for their bodies/body parts?

  6. A comparison? Imagine if a Christian run homeless shelter was actually using the homeless as slave labor.
    “All we do is provide shelter for those in need. Slave labor is one of the services we provide, but it is a very small part of our organization.”

  7. DG, if they’re not about making profits, then why are they dickering over prices and not enumerating costs? Sorry, but there are some unbending facts here, like the Lamborghini bit, that you and “factcheck” are missing here.

  8. Dog Gone believes the factcheck.org is correct only when it agrees with her. When factcheck.org disagrees with her, then factcheck.org is wrong. This makes her “argument from authority” perfectly worthless, a fact which she does not even understand.
    It is like trying to argue with a bumper sticker.

  9. The factcheck article is a carnival of handwaiving (now there is an interesting image!)

  10. Sorry, posted early . . .
    The factcheck article is a carnival of handwaving (now there is an interesting image!).
    Most of the words are spent disputing a strawman — namely that PP is not a non-profit. I work for a non-profit. I know how the accounting is done, and presumably the people at factcheck do as well. If you don’t have investors to pay off, cost is still the driving force behind the organization. If a non-profit wants to build houses for poor people, it tries to do so at the lowest possible cost. You can reduce or offset costs a number of ways, and managers are paid, in large part, for managing costs and increasing revenue, even if the reduced costs and increased revenues don’t lead to an increase in share price or dividend. Management is the same all over.
    Factcheck.org is an organization made up of partisan hacks. It is itself a non-profit. It is run by the Annenberg foundation. The Annenberg Foundation is one of the most partisan journalism and education directed foundations in the United States. Obama met the terrorist Bill Ayres while they both sat on the board of the Annenberg-financed Annenberg Chicago Challenge.
    Factcheck.org does not even bother to attempt to refute the fact that PP chopped up human fetuses and sold the parts, which is the only reason anyone cares about the story. Hitler’s death camps were operated on a non-profit basis, for God’s sake.

  11. The FACTCHECK link is laughable on so many levels, but I’m gonna just pick this one, ’cause I can:

    “We also asked experts in the use of human tissue for research about the potential for profit. Sherilyn J. Sawyer, the director of Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s “biorepository,” told us that “there’s no way there’s a profit at that price.”

    Yeah, that may be true for scarce adult organs, but when you’re shipping baby parts by the garbage bag full, there’s money enough to keep any Dr. Mengele happy.

    Even the title is a piece of propaganda.

    I’m sorry DG, but once again I’m not going to encourage wither your mental illness or your crushing stupidity….you fail again.

    Planned Parenthood kills babies and sells baby parts.<– Those are the facts. The majority of the country is disgusted and appalled. PP is preparing to get ACORNed. <–Those are informed opinions.

  12. DG

    Maybe I was wrong, maybe you aren’t a white racist embarked on a genocidal mission, maybe the following better describes your goals and allegiance:

    “Echoing propaganda from Planned Parenthood, the Satanic Temple declares that informed consent materials for those seeking an abortion “are often scientifically unfounded or medically invalid,” while ultrasounds are an “attempt to create guilt and discomfort in those seeking abortions.” Mandatory waiting periods, they contend, “serve no medical function.”

    The group unveiled a one-ton bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet at a private ceremony Saturday in Detroit, which “hundreds” reportedly attended.

    Satanism has a millennial history of association with child sacrifice, which makes its financial and moral support of abortion a logical corollary to its other activities. The Israelites struggled against the worship of Baal, another name for the Phoenician god Moloch, who demanded child sacrifices of his followers and was associated with the devil. The prophet Jeremiah speaks explicitly of the sacrifice of children to Baal, warning his readers that God finds such behavior abhorrent.”

  13. Kel, what you’re saying is baby killing leftist slobs (like DG) are on the wrong side of history…literally.

  14. well tweety, taking the multi-millennial view, the baby-killers do have discouraging outcomes, but they’re not done yet.

    Q. What is the Devil’s greatest accomplishment?
    A. Convincing the world he didn’t exist.

  15. DG- “Freedom of choice is for everyone..” Really? Then why can’t I buy the kind of light bulb I want?

  16. Or choose what public school my kids goes to? Or whether or not I want to eat Trans fats? Or if I want my tax money funding a baby killing organization?

  17. DG
    In 2014 32 of the MN clients who got abortions were <15 years old, providing clear evidence of criminal sexual abuse. Did PP, always known for its transparency, report those cases it handled to the proper authorities, and provide follow up counseling or did they just perform the abortion and hand the kid a pamphlet as she stumbled out the door? Or do they have the same problem Colorado PP has: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/9717?utm_content=buffer7330b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

  18. It’s clear that Dog Gone is grasping at the title of this post, and the “factcheck” piece should be titled “spinning-the-planned-parenthood-videos”.
