What part of "Planned Parenthood is a counseling and referal service, not a medical provider" don't you understand? Planned Parenthood does not perform abortions, for fee or for free. Only suitably acreditted and licensed medical professionals perform legal abortions,. Planned Parenthood is not an acreditted, licensed medical professional, it is a counseling and referal service.

Now, one more time, what vested financial interest does Planned Parenthood have in keeping abortion legal and profitable? Lets see the investment nexus.

Read about the fetal pain experienced during D&C abortions when the butchery is perpetrated by a cutting instrument being inserted into the womb and slicing away, slowly and agonizingly dismembering the victim until death occurs.

You ought to listen to what doctors say. But you will probably have selective hearing at this point.

If you were to put a dog down in the same fashion that these procedures occur, you would face the prospect of jail time.

But you have completely refused to defend these procedures for one simple reason. They are totally indefensible and everybody knows it.

You are in huge denial and cannot even bring yourself to describe the pregnant woman as a "mother" lest it make plain that we are talking about human beings. Your cowardly use of the word "host" is inexcusable.

Defend these procedures if you can. Tell everybody how you yourself would be proud to perform one of these ghastly bloody procedures and afterward wrap the dismembered victim's arms, legs, torso, feet, hands, skull, ears, toes and fingers in a black garbage sack, taking it out to the dumpster in the alley yourself.

Go on, say it.

Although I don't believe that abortion is murder I am generally against abortion. I believe life begins at the first breath.

I think that technology should enhance life and not take it away.
I believe in war but I am a pacifist.

I once knew a girl that had a crush on me. She loved the musician in me. When she could not reach me she went out and found herself another musician man to fulfill her desires. But this man was imperfect. He was an alcoholic. He vowed to not drink anymore so they went and made a baby. Well a couple months into the pregnancy he had a slip and went out and drank... So she immediately went to planned parenthood and aborted the fetus. I lost much of my respect for this girl because I felt she had just aborted out of a grudge and confusion.

So I think breeding and all of this stuff is a joke. A cocktail of hormones and slaves to sexual addictions. If you don't breed you get someone elses kids dropped in your lap for eighteen years while they run around making more children.

I would say that if someone must have an un necessary abortion or child maybe "both" parents should consider castration.

Based on those costs I can see why you'd think that abortion is being used as a contraceptive.

$410 for an abortion is extremly cheap...I could easily afford several dozen of them. They are much cheaper than a pack of condoms.

Let's see what $410 could get you at planned parenthood.

136 Condoms (that's quite a few, unfortnately this would probably last me 3 years)
2 YEARS worth of Depo Provera Injections
2 YEARS of Birth Control Pills

Gee, you're right, Abortion is a much better choice for birth control.

Thats a list of products and services provided or referred, among which are physician-directed prescriptions and surgical proceedures, available in many instances at prices or fees well below those of the for-profit pharmacy and medical establishments (a further, and significant, inconvenience to your thesis). It shows no vested financial interest in keeping abortion legal or profitable. Show me the investment nexus.

Now, on to other things you get wrong.

real life, the thought occurs you may be operating at a functional disadvantage, in that you so far have displayed no concept of the form and structure of proper, legitmate argument. Though your core proposition is founded in (and thus invaldated by so being) petitio principii, we'll let that slide for the moment, and just examine your above-quoted, substance-free, logical-fallacy-laden reply to reply to c.i.

At first glance, and listing the just the most obvious fallacies, alphabetically, we have argumentum ad culturam, argumentum ad ignorantiam, argumentum ad misericordiam, argumentum ad nauseam, and argumentum ad populum.

I suggest you learn to argue. While such endeavor might be entirely novel to you, it likely would be of great personal benefit were you to look into and familiarize yourself with logic, forensics, and critical thinking. Understanding and suitably employing those tools is infinitely more effective a means of convincing others, particularly reasonable, rational, educated, logical-thinking others, of your point than is persisting in methodology which exposes your proposition not only to dismissal but ridicule.

Timber, I have great respect for your ability to see the essence of an argument and I do agree that we believers often tend to emotionalism when discussing an issue such as abortion. (Similar to Frank when he refers to Egypt's first born as 'babies')

However, the introduction of fallacious reasoning does not necessarily disprove the proposition. That, as you know, is referred to as argumentum ad logicam.

And, how about the over generalized appeal to authority used by CI in his statement? Or his implied argumentum ad novitatem? argumentum ad hominem? blah? and blah?

Like you, I don't advocate over legislating human behavior. But I am extremely suspicious of those who would relegate human existence to a nitpicking dictionary discourse. An embryo either represents a potential human life or it does not. Dare we assume not?

I showed you Planned Parenthood's price list for performing abortions.

You are flat out wrong. Admit it.

Sure looks like a price list to me. I didn't know that. Is it that way all over the US?

Somehow, I am not at all offended when you flush your sperm down the toilet, or whatever it is you do. Don't say it!

Wait! Are you saying if you don't destroy your sperm, it will become a parasite to you, the host?

OHMIGOSH! Get thee to a physician! I can see their insidious tails flagellating your tender. . . AAAAAGGHHH!

Yea? Is there a point?

We still murder teens who commit heinous crimes... Are you suggesting Frank that we give murdering teens an award or public notoriety?


Are you suggesting that we follow the advice of your god, Rex....and stone to death kids who are stubborn and unruly?

In answer to your question...NO...I do not think we shouild give murdering teens an award or public notoriety.

And it is interesting that you wrote: "We still murder teens who commit heinous crimes...." What the hell were you thinking (assuming you were thinking) when you wrote that?

Planned Parenthood is an organization, real life, which is composed of numerous essentially aitonomous chapters, all of which provide referal and counseling saervices, some of which operate or are associated with clinical medical facillities. That some chapters of Planned Parenthood operate clinics does not equate to "Planned Parenthood provides abortions"; some Planned Parenthood chapters do, the organization itself does not. Pointing to the services of the Planned Parenthood chapter you pointed out (Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan) as "verification" of your point is verification of nothing more than that that particular chapter is one of hundreds of chapters which operate under the banner of Planned Parenthood. Some chapters do operate their own clinics, offering "in-house" a variety of products, services, and proceedures. Many chapters do not operate their own clinics, but are affilliated with other independent clinics or hospitals. All that aside, the pricing you cited, I mention again, is considerably "below market" for the products, services, and proceedures provided, a circumstance which greatly inconveniences your profit-motive thesis. Planned Parenthood may be - is - many things, but it isn't "In it for the money". There is plenty for which Planned Parenthood legitimately may be criticized, and for which I happen to criticize the organization, but a vested financial interest in the legality and profitability of abortion, as you assert, simply is not one of those things.

Now, I'd be happier with Planned Parenthood if they were more open and honest about their counseling thrust; they do advocate vigorously for abortion, almost to the exclusion of other ex-post-facto solutions, but they also offer proactive contraception advice, education, and assistance, and provide a valuable service in the interest of preventing and treating STD's, as well as advocate strongly for a greater role and responsibility for the male in the matter of contraception and reproductive responsibility. With the bad, they do some good. As I said, I'm not pro-Planned Parenthood, but if you're going to criticize something, criticize it for what it is, not for what you might wish to portray it to be.

For instance, I do not, in my criticism of contemporary Christianity, contend that all of its adherants are misinformed, bigoted, agenda-driven, brainwashed, sanctimonious hypocrites incapable of critical thinking and devoid of logic or reason.

The reason you religionist keeps missing logic is because "potential life" is not life. Look up the word "potential" in your dicitonary.

"Wait! Are you saying if you don't destroy your sperm, it will become a parasite to you, the host?"

Projection is what you do best; it doesn't have any reality - only what your ignorant mind presumes to be true. You can only rely on your bible to support your claims - many of which have already been refuted by science. If you look at science once in awhile, you might learn something new about life in general. Trusting a two thousand year old fiction called the bible will only result in wrong ideas and decisions about life.

Neither do I. In fact, I can probably come up with a name or two of people who definitely do not fit that bill.

I regret that something as important as abortion has become a contest of words and hair splitting definitions.

An embryo, if left alone, will become a child and the 'host', its mother.
Sperm, if left alone, will putrefy in the trash can.

A simple difference I was trying to point out.

I agree in part. An embryo will become a child. But it isn't a child.

Which is one of the points we've been trying to make.

And the fact is, if an embryo is left alone...very often it doesn't "become a child"...but instead becomes an undifferentiated mass of cells expelled from the host's body in a process known as miscarriage.
