Gabriela Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/03/senate-to-vote-monday-to-defund-planned-parenthood-first-step-in-renewed-battle/ The Republican-controlled Senate is set to vote Monday on halting federal aid to Planned Parenthood, a fast response to the series of unsettling videos exposing the group's little-noticed practice of providing fetal tissue to researchers. The measure is not expected to pass because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the other 53 Republican senators will need support from several Democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold, with some moderates on both sides still apparently undecided.

KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” ― Winston S. Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Indeed, But it's the beginning of a process. The tide doesn't turn overnight; small initial steps introduce the possibility, and them momentum builds. Or not. Agreed. But given all the other things they do, I think youll have a hard time defunding PP as a whole or convincing people that one aspect trumps everything else. I know in the mind of pro-life crowd the abortion aspect is PLENTY, but the idea would be to convince people who do not share your convictions otherwise PP would have been defunded a long time ago.

KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 According to Abby Johnson former director at PP, the organization doesn't really care about anything else than abortion. She exposes that they screw the numbers of their other services. They falsify and up play the numbers of other services and down play the numbers of abortion services. Short interesting article by Ms. Johnson on that subject: http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/153699-exposing-the-planned-parenthood-business-model It took a long time to undo the old form of slavery too, and it was very hard to convince others of it's barbarism, they too saw supposed benefits saw the slave traders as not all bad, but it still came to an end. Ending the new age slavery of abortion may not happen in our life time, but it will happen. In time those that do not see a group of persons as persons are always in time seen as extremely wrong and very misguided to say the least.

KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Politics, politicians, elections, blah, blah, blah! If PP were killing people in the street, or targeting and murdering born woman, blacks, homosexuals, lions, or another other you can't do that to them group we wouldn't be sitting here talking about the other services PP provides, nor Politics, politicians, or elections. The West has lost it's soul to this evil and lame distractions nor politicians will save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West has lost it's soul to this evil and lame distractions nor politicians will save us. You can brush off the political medium in which we need to fight abortion all you want, but it doesnst change the fact that this is the only way we can do it aside from an all out civil war. And it really really stinks. It stinks that we have to choose between two polarized groups if idiots in order to achieve something that is so wrong and harmful to what we stand for but if any of you think that voting republican is going to quell your fears and achieve your dreams, think again. They dont care any more about the abortion topic than the evil democrats; its all a show to win the votes of particular groups of people. The only reason republicans toute their pro-birth stance (because they are also pro death penalty, pro war, pro guns etc (which are not very pro life IMO)) is to get your vote. Yeah maybe there are a few honest gems among the lot, but I promise you they are just getting your votes by manipulating your emotions over this topic...and this isnt exclusive to just them...its all politicians. So dont just vote republican because you think its the best thing to do. Vote for individuals who will enact common sense solutions to this problem like increasing funding for education, programs that help impoverished mothers and children, and other such things. THOSE will cut down abortions. Defunding PP or making it illegal will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) No political movement has a hope unless hearts and souls are changed first. I don't really care about the red team vs blue team anymore. I don't trust the Republican war party when it comes to pro-life issues. But I do trust the Democrat party to follow its long history of crimes against humanity. Education, and charity to mothers and children will help reduce abortions. But defunding and making abortion illegal will also reduce abortions, that's simply logical. Without funds the abortion industry wouldn't have the money to abort people, and if it were illegal to abort people they wouldn't be able to operate freely in public and that would reduce abortions as well. The abortionist would be imprisoned like any other murderer and prevented to abort more people and that would reduce abortions. Sure abortions would still happen like murders still happen but funding and allowing murder increases murder. Really think about it, business X gets millions in funds and the blessing of government to freely sell its product but business Y gets no funds, but is fined, its operators charged and arrested on multiple felony counts of murder. Logically business X would be able to sell more of its product because it gets free money and is able to operate freely. While business Y would still probably sell its product to but at a greatly reduce production level than business X.
