Perhaps you can remind us when that actually happened. I don't recall forced sterilizations of minority women anytime during my lifetime. Unless you can prove that this has any relevance to current events, as discussed in the OP, I don't understand why you even brought it up. Perhaps deflection away from a topic that even you find disgusting?

It's not my pregnancy. It's not my decision.

Would I terminate a pregnancy based on gender alone? No.

Well, that was quick;

Planned Parenthood fires staffer in Live Action video « Hot Air

If nothing, nothing at all is wrong with this practice, WHY was she fired?

Our tax dollars are going to pay for this radical abortion provider?



This is truly amazing....disgusting...criminal.......and part of the democrat platform.
Why do you still continue to lie. Your tax dollars DO NOT fund any abortions. Quit lieing, it really tells alot of you if you are willng to lie to get your point across. And as far as selective abortions, if thats what a woman wants, then that is her right not yours to say.

Just because I don't see a problem with a person choosing to abort because of gender doesn't mean that what the staffer did was within the regulations and company practices of Planned Parenthood.

I don't see a problem with wearing jeans to an office that doesn't deal directly with the public, but where I work has a business casual dress-code. I could be sent home if I wore jeans on a day that wasn't Casual Friday. Repeatedly could probably get me fired.

Right, but how does this have any relevance to the OP? Further, how many people can you round up who actively support Eugenics and Nazi concentration camps?

I'd reconcile NONE. That's why the point is moot, deflective, and generally of no substantial contribution. All it did was provide an opportunity for the poster to avoid discussing a topic that most humans deplore.

I simply don't understand this mindset:

Aborting a developing human life
It's the mother's decision and none of my business.

Spanking a misbehaving child
The mother should be punished and it's absolutely my business.

Well, just like in corporate america, there are sometimes unwritten policies or situations where company policy is A but they are forcing employees to meet sales goals or turning a blind eye to actions. When caught, they of course disavow any company culture, knowledge etc etc etc.

Sometimes it's a rouge employee, sometimes it's unspoken culture, sometimes a bit of both.....

Spanking a child for discipline? I have no problems with. Different parenting methods work for different parents and children.

Abusing and beating a child (punching, kicking, etc)? Different story.
