Even some women buy into this concept and try to force others to 'behave'. The 'liberated' and 'uncontrolled' woman is considered a danger in so many societies it must be in our DNA. Yet it has been proved time and again that having well-educated intelligent women lifts the standard of living, makes for healthier happier children, controls exploding populations...<BR/><BR/>And now they are trying to stand in the way of contraception itself? It has nothing to do with fetuses but everything to do with sex. <BR/><BR/>What do these people really want?ellroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335409429673647381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-30476692422402509512008-12-03T10:29:00.000-08:002008-12-03T10:29:00.000-08:00ellroon, remember, my first contract programming j...ellroon, remember, my first contract programming job was for the local Planned Parenthood. I remember the mobs... there's no other legitimate word for them... outside the clinic. I remember the butyric acid stink bomb tossed into the clinic. Fortunately, no clinic worker has been murdered at the local, but I will never forget... or forgive... the people who do these things. The women you talk about who are unable to pay find at Planned Parenthood a source of quality care by people who give a damn. And abortion is far from the primary service Planned Parenthood provides: many poor women receive basic OB/Gyn services at Planned Parenthood for the first time in their lives.<BR/><BR/>Face it: the bastards not only hate women, they disrespect them. To Hell with them and their sensitivities: it's time to protect women's rights.Steve Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587223243120009776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-55413166670151019512008-12-02T21:25:00.000-08:002008-12-02T21:25:00.000-08:00Wow, Steve.

Losing money will make them focus faster than anything else.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I fret about are the women who can't afford to travel far, who can't afford to pay, who can't afford to take the time to find a health service. They will find a back alley abortionist and die. We don't need to go back to those dark age methods.<BR/><BR/>Why do we keep on having to explain this over and over again?ellroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335409429673647381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-4459194893370870642008-12-02T17:28:00.000-08:002008-12-02T17:28:00.000-08:00"All I see are lawsuits."Sue.

Asses.<BR/><BR/>Sue them for more money than God's got.<BR/><BR/>Sue them for violating the oaths of their various professions. If possible, drive them out of those professions. Make it clear to other medical "professionals" (and I use the term loosely) that if their consciences do not allow them to do their jobs as expected by society, they should find other occupations.<BR/><BR/>As for Bush's regulations, even if Bush succeeds in embedding them so that reversing them requires starting from scratch, Obama must issue new regs immediately which countermand these regs. At the same time, he should issue regs on employers of such reluctant healers... hospitals, pharmacy chains, etc. ... requiring them to ask all employees and interviewees about the matter, and if they answer negatively, to post a sign in three-inch capital letters informing customers that their professional staffs may just plain refuse to do their jobs. We deserve to know, up front.<BR/><BR/>Enough is enough. It is time to put an end to this crap.Steve Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587223243120009776noreply@blogger.com
