Who abruptly quit.
In 2009, a year after being named “Employee of the Year” at her clinic, Johnson, 35, said she witnessed a doctor performing an abortion on an ultrasound and quit her job.


I quit my last job after witnessing my boss kick a puppy. I'll say that on any shady camera interview you want.

If PP were the only place a woman could get an abortion from a real doctor, I wouldn't argue this point so much.

For over 90% of the country PP is the only place to get an abortion. Regular doctors just don't do them anymore. If you go to your GP and ask for an abortion the odds are very high he or she will refer you to the closest PP. (There's an exception for medically urgent abortions, of course, but few are)

As the the quotes, if they are charging more for the specimens than what it costs them to preserve and deliver them, then they need to lower the price. They shouldn't be making a profit on those, just failing to lose money.

It's weird that so many doctors wont do them since all smart people recognize that it isn't a baby or a life, it's just a parasitic cluster of cells.

Normal docs won't get near them because of the political static and insurance concerns and sometimes insane state regs.

Nah, mostly it's because most insurance can't or won't pay for it.

Florida politicians still being bitches.
He [Republican Gov. Rick Scott.] ordered the inspections after stealthily recorded videos showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they provide aborted fetal organs for research. Abortion opponents say the videos show the organization is illegally harvesting and selling organs. The videos brought congressional scrutiny including calls to withdraw federal funding from the organization. Scott called the videos troubling and has previously said it's illegal to sell body parts.

Go troll for votes, whore.

[Executive Director Laura] Goodhue has said Florida doesn't have a tissue donation program.

Why vids are bullshit.
The videos came as a horror to the many Americans who didn't have the full story. That's because they haven’t seen the unedited version of the secret footage as well. There is a stark difference in how the two videos portray Planned Parenthood. The unedited version includes more comments from Nucatola, where she explains that Planned Parenthood isn't selling tissue. “Affiliates are not looking to make money by doing this. They’re looking to serve their patients," she says.

I guess the incredibly honest and crusading dudes filming the vids didn't want anyone to hear that, though. It'd distract you from their underlying purpose:
They're not really concerned about fetal tissue trafficking; if they were, their videos probably wouldn't be so misleadingly edited. This is all just a guise to hide under so they can get what they really want: stop abortions.

Douchebag reactionaries want a bust removed from the NPG. Fine, as long as they remove everything Nixon-related.
Brent Bozell, chairman of ForAmerica, told the AP that Sanger believed eugenics could be used to “sterilize out of existence the poor, the blacks.”

Fail.
In "The Morality of Birth Control," a 1921 speech, she divided society into three groups: the "educated and informed" class that regulated the size of their families, the "intelligent and responsible" who desired to control their families however did not have the means or the knowledge and the "irresponsible and reckless people" whose religious scruples "prevent their exercising control over their numbers." Sanger concludes "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."

Unless you equate "poor and black" with "irresponsible and reckless."

In fact...
From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role—alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble—in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people. Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

... she worked with and for many of them. But I guess all this can be taken with a bit of ambiguity.
Sanger wrote, "we [do not] believe that the community could or should send to the lethal chamber the defective progeny resulting from irresponsible and unintelligent breeding."

Except that part.

Political cartoon on the topic.

I should point out that a very left leaning person I know posted that on the Twitters.

Anti-abortion activists respond in calm, measured way. I get the odd feeling this is exactly what CMP wanted, considering they've got a founding member that was in jail for plotting this type of thing.
Around 3:30 AM on Friday morning, the Planned Parenthood health center in Pullman, Washington was set on fire.

Seems fair.
he same day the GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee held a hearing to "expose" Planned Parenthood's "horrific abortion practices," members of another House committee announced that their federal investigation into the family planning provider has so far turned up no evidence of wrongdoing.
...
Planned Parenthood was not invited to testify at the hearing.
...
The Judiciary Committee, meanwhile, did not appear to be concerned with the facts of the Planned Parenthood investigation. Lawmakers instead used the hearing as an opportunity to decry abortion in general. An emotional Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) called abortion "the worst human rights atrocity in the history of the United States of America."

"What is so liberating about brutally and painfully dismembering living, helpless human babies?" Franks said.

Office Depot. This one seems semi-bullshit if she's paying for the copies herself.
Company spokeswoman Karen Denning tells the Chicago Tribune ( http://trib.in/1Kb5StR ) that Office Depot prohibits the copying of material that advocates "the persecution of certain groups of people," among other criteria.

Eat a dick. If I want to print, "Fuck the cheating, cock-sucking New England Patriots and all their fans," I ought to be able to.

Pachyderm whores threaten gov't shutdown and have selected this as their golden calf.
The conservative House Freedom Caucus, with more than 40 members, on Thursday vowed to oppose any spending bill that includes Planned Parenthood funds.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been the leading Republican opponent of demands to link an end to Planned Parenthood’s funding with the government-funding measure.


There are scattered voices of reason:
“If you really want to solve the problem, get a pro-life president in 18 months,” said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) “In the interim, I think we can make some progress and do some good things, but the hearings are an important part of educating the public.”

He also said it was a bad idea to tie a shutdown to the anti-abortion rights movement because Planned Parenthood has a strong base of support.
...
Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), a centrist, agreed a shutdown would be a “tactical and strategic blunder.”

But reason doesn't fill reelection coffers, and whores will do anything for cash.
