I cannot speak for the anti-choice crowd because I am part of the anti-abortion crowd. I cannot imagine how an anchor baby (an innocent) could be a life threatening issue to kill it. |

This is a troubling remark. I know there have been accusations that Guttmacher is associated with Planned Parenthood, but not that they are one and the same organisation.
Guttmacher has provided many health-related studies, often on adolescent health care and in no instance did I see any reference to Planned Parenthood (in my professional life as an adolescent health care advocate).

darn right I am against the war in Iraq. But that is a whole different issue. The 179.000 were not human beings, they were POTENTIAL human beings. Big difference. I do not equate an 8 week old fetus with a child. |

It really doesn't matter who is connect to who. The real focus is on abortion and as many abortions as possible. Ka ching! Ka ching! |

The Alan Guttmacher Institute originally was a semi-automomous division of PPFA. It has been a unique and separate entity since 1977.

And if you want to use a comparison, there are WAY more than a million unwanted illegal immigrants we are dealing with right now, but we are coping.

There would not be one 1 million people/couples that would adopt 1 + million, year after year. |

Abortions are not a money-making proposition. |

oh, ok. So you don't want women to have access to abortion, but you don't want to pay higher taxes or adopt. Nice. I guess someone will have to deal with it... as long as it isn't you.

Actually, to my mind, it is as important who performs an abortion as who receives an abortion.
It is also important to me that the records of who does what, where, and how and who is implicated appropriate is clearly stated.
So....what does your ka ching. Ka ching imply?
