Fundie Nut: "Number One murderer of babies" Planned Parenthood halts Missouri personhood effort

Planned Parenthood pauses personhood effort
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 11/27/2009


Pro-life forces are preparing for a court battle to decide whether voters can decide on a Personhood amendment in Missouri.

The measure would declare that a human is a person at the biological beginning of life. Personhood Missouri went through all the obstacles in order to launch a petition drive and get a slot on a future election ballot. Personhood Missouri spokesman Dr. Gregory Thompson tells OneNewsNow that a lawsuit has brought the effort to a halt.

"Planned Parenthood is the number-one murderer of babies in our country and is being represented by the ACLU, which takes on every perversion that's against God, family and country," the spokesman reports. "They're coming against the secretary of state and the state auditor because they don't like the language of the ballot title."

Thompson says Planned Parenthood wants to manipulate and step on the right the people of Missouri have to vote on the issue.

"They make hundreds of millions of dollars off of the taxpayers and they're using some of that very money to sue the state to keep us from our constitutional rights of being able to address grievances and (being) able to voice what we decide is best for our families and our nation," Thompson contends.

If the election were held and Planned Parenthood lost, the end result, according to Thompson, would take away abortion, which is the clinic's greatest financial resource.

1. Who need the Taliban?

With these simpleton cock-suckers waiting in the wings.

2. Can I hear an "amen"? n/t

3. Planned Parenthood is very pragmatic

The old morality has brought us the Inquisition and the Taliban. And not enough food and resources to feed those of us who are born.

4. "...ACLU....every perversion that's against God, family and country,"

He could be right about that. After all, the ACLU helped Rush Limbaugh.

6. I respectfully disagree (LOL) PP is not technically a pro GLBT organization..so not EVERYTHING

[cap]

8. although Planned Parenthood has educated people about gay sexuality

in a respectful manner for over 25 years.

14. Planned Parenthood is most absolutely pro LGBT

They provide a host of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender services:

Planned Parenthood is above all, a provider of health services and education:

12. They also helped David Duke, IIRC

It's that nasty Freedom of Speech thing. They think everyone should have it, no matter how vile their speech.

5. so, if a man has sex with a woman, and she doesn't get pregnant,

can she file a claim with her insurance for the death of a person defined by this "personhood"?

[John N Morgan]

7. would frozen embryos be a tax deduction?

[zbdent]

9. just don't mention when the fertility clinic destroys them

13. Lack of access to health care kills babies

http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/11/03/cdc-finds-us-30th-in-infant-mortality.html

The US is ranked 30th in World Infant Mortality rates:

"The U.S. in 2005 ranked 30th in the world in infant mortality," said Marian F. MacDorman, a statistician at the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics and lead author of a data brief the agency released Tuesday. "The main cause of the high infant mortality rate is the very high percentage of preterm births in the U.S."

In the United States in 2004, one in eight babies was born prematurely, compared with one in 18 in Ireland and Finland.

Fleischman seemed to agree. "The quality of neonatal intensive care is superb," he said. "We know how to rescue babies who are born very tiny, but what we don't do well is prevent prematurity."

Reasons for this, he said, include a lack of universal access to health care for women of childbearing age or pregnant women of any age. "That's a tremendous difference with our European friends," Fleischman said.

Planned Parenthood provides prenatal care to pregnant women at little or no cost to the patient.

15. That is a good way to frame the need for universal health care!

It will save babies and (what do the fundies call fetuses?) pre-birth babies lives. If they are so concerned with saving the lives of the unborn, they would insist that all women who have the potential to get pregnant have easy access to pre-natal care.

But we all know that is not their goal - their goal is control over women's lives.

16. Tell your fundy friends!

The Public Option will save babies!

Make their hard little heads rattle!
