Planned Parenthood Action Fund Endorses Barack Obama!

Recently, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund took a step closer to putting a pro-choice president in the White House by officially endorsing Senator Barack Obama for president. This is a historic moment for our organization — it is only the second time in our long history that we have endorsed a candidate for president. We are confident that Senator Obama will be a strong leader and advocate for women's health, and, with your help, we will focus all of our efforts in the next four months on getting him elected.

Help me understand something. If Christian conservatives, like yourself, are so infallible and so logical, why do they feel the need to insult those who don't agree with them?

On an unrelated note...ivy MBA? You're...saying you have an MBA from an ivy league school?

Hunter, I am pro-life. And I don't agree with Obama on his abortion stance....BUT...

...we had a pro-life president for 8 years now. Abortion is still here. The Prez has such little power on this matter. I don't let a candidate's stance on abortion be the determining factor. Sadly, their opinion almost doesn't count.

Abortion is murder. Who is standing up for the rights of the unborn? Planned Parenthood is wicked, and needs to be defunded.

Birth control is not 100% effective. There are many children in this world that have been conceived on birth control. Furthermore, it is proven that medical forms of birth control are abortifacient. Again, the most sure fire way of not having a inconvenient pregnancy to abstain from sex.

YES, I do know many women that have had that procedure done multiple times! As a matter of fact, The View's Sherri Shepard appeared on Entertainment Tonight saying the she had more abortions than she could have ever counted. So just because you don't know people personally that had multiple abortions doesn't mean it is not possible. There are many women that have multiple abortions and think nothing of it.

Seven, eight, or nine abortions?? That must be a lie. No self-respecting woman who has been through even one abortion would want to go back a second time and go through that again. Abortion is a painful, traumatic procedure, and one that no woman in her right mind takes lightly.

If you seriously DO know "many women" who have had 7-9 abortions, you're hanging out with seriously insecure, unintelligent individuals who don't know enough to take care of their own bodies and self-esteem!

How about birth control? A lot of right-wingers are against that as well as abortion. First stop, Roe V. Wade; next stop, Griswold V. Connecticut!

(Don't know what that case entails, then I suggest you use Teh Google and look it up.)

(continued), are you really going to persecute her for making a decision that she feels in her heart is the best one? Please don't judge what is going on inside another woman's body, mind, or soul--that is for your God to decide, not you, and not the government.

Ah, the old "She's a slut and she DESERVES it!" cannard. The same argument that sexists just as yourself use to justify rape.

Do you ever stop to think that maybe people don't fit into your myopic, medieval view of them--most of the time, if at all? I don't know ANYONE who treats abortion as some sort of petty convenience. It is a serious medical procedure, and women who have one always give it serious thought. When your sister, aunt, or friend wants a baby but doesn't feel she can have one,

What "success in Iraq"? Not only are we NOT winning, in fact, we are stuck in the middle of an endless war over there, but it's costing us trillions of dollars, we've gone trillions in dollars in debt over a war for oil with no end in sight, now how is that a "success"?

[Headhunter004]

First of all, a fetus is not a child, secondly, a fetus does NOT have the right to use a woman's body against her will NO ONE does. Forced childbirth is every bit as much a crime as forced abortion, pro-choice endorses neither, it endorses just that, the right to CHOOSE. And I'm sorry, but adoption is NOT the answer. Just because she doesn't have to keep the child after birth doesn't change the reality of the situation: that she's in a situation that clearly opposes her health and best interest.

He supports the right of children. The right for them to live life. Some people in this country believe that children are not property that can be thrown away. They are human beings.
