A reply to “Save Medicare - don’t support abortion”

July 7th, 2008

Initially I found it at http://www.emaxhealth.com/24/23009.html

But it was sourced from http://jaxconservativeradical.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-way-to-fund-medicare.html

emaxhealth haven’t approved my reply yet (Shock) but I visited the Jax and shared my opinion on his epiphany.

He writes:

“I have an idea where the Congress can discover some of the money needed to keep funding the medicare program at it’s present level.
Congress spends the following amounts of your tax dollars supporting America’s own genocide, abortion!
In 2003, Planned Parenthood Federation of America extinguished the lives of 244,628 unborn babies — making the organization more deadly than leukemia, brain cancer, skin cancer, diabetes, car accidents, Alzheimer’s disease, and HIV/AIDS combined.”

He also quotes some impressive dollar amounts that the US Government have paid to planned parenthood

“2003-2004 … $ 35.2 million in tax money
2002-2003 … $ 36.6 million in tax money
2001-2002 … $ 12.2 million in tax money
2000-2001 … $ 38.9 million in tax money
1999-2000 .. $ 59.5 million in tax money
1998-1999 … $125.8 million in tax money
1997-1998 … $ 42.1 million in tax money”

Source: JaxConsertive - I haven’t attempted to verify the information, it’s moot as far as I’m concerned. Here is my reply:

“And if these operations were paid for by the government, meaning that the women undergoing the procedure were unable to, the tax payers would no doubt have carry the cost of those unwanted children over a course of 18 years.

How many of these unborn children would have turned to drugs, alcoholism or crime further burdening the tax payer as an adult?
Not to mention that all of the fetuses, not babies, fetuses that have been aborted over the past 10 years, aren’t going hungry - or aren’t causing others to go hungry by pushing the prices of food up even further by that little thing called supply and demand.
Yes. I’ll grant you, abortion is a terrible thing, when it can be easily avoided by sound sex education, eduction on the reliability of birth control methods, free condoms in high schools.
I’ll also say that one of those aborted fetuses may have grown up to be the next Thomas Eddison, Albert Einstein, or George Washington… but quite as Easily the next Pol Pot, Idi Amin, or Charles Manson.
Given that these were women getting an abortion paid for by the government, not private insurance through their company, and the state of our education system - I’d be willing to wager: more likely the latter of the two groups.
As George Carlin said it best: Pro-Life is anti woman. You have no problem saving an unborn life, but until he or she is ready to serve in the military, you don’t give a crap about them.” - Skep
I think abortion is horrible. I think 3rd Trimester abortion is bordering on obscene. I think relying on only preaching abstinence to Teenagers is far worse, because it’s ignorant.
Show Teens pictures of 3rd Trimester aborted fetuses. Let them hear from Teenage mothers who have been traumatized by aborting their unborn babies. Then EDUCATE THEM. Give them options, sure, you can include abstinence, and the reasons why they would want to wait. But provide birth control options. Make it easy, make it comfortable, make it anonymous.
But even after educating them, never take away their right to choose what to do with their body. I say this as both a father, and as someone who stood by and held the hand of a woman who was undergoing a first term abortion, one I was responsible for and would have loved to have raised as a father. But it was HER choice, not mine. I told her my opinions, but it is her body, and she had to live with the ramifications.
Until we can raise fetuses in laboratories, or until YOU can have the 12 week old fetus she doesn’t think she can handle, stay the **** away from her body.

When did they add “Er0tic Services” to CLs?

June 21st, 2008

Probably not safe for work. Depending on your work that is.

Being the perv I am, I don’t normal miss any references to things spawned by the great god Eros. But I swear if it’s always been there, I need to get new glasses.

Craigslist has always had some dubious posts on, but trolling through all of these new posts of women selling themselves, is proving very entertaining - this girl knows how to dirty talk!

Interesting statistics from Jun 20th: Las Vegas has too many to count, New York has an equally impressive number(I didn’t say “good” statistics). Kansas City - 87 (I guess the Midwest really does heat up in summer), Salt Lake City, Utard Utah, 3. So very sad, if anyone needs quality professional “service” providers, it’s the denizens of SLC.

I wonder if while the economy continues to be a suck fest, we’ll see more people working the oldest profession, pun… not… intentional.
