Argument based on personal experience is the lowest form of argumentation, especially on an Internet forum.

Depends on the context, here I was giving an example of how taxpayer money is being abused. I'm sure she's not the only girl to think of that.

You just finally admitted the woman was videotaping more than just the ambulance. Congratulations! Took a while, but I'm glad a sense of ethics finally kicked in for you.

Planned Parenthood is not a government organization. (Didn't I already say that earlier?) PP gets taxpayer money via Medicaid, but your old gf apparently didn't have Medicaid if she were on her parents' policy. So she was a "private pay" patient, and paid on sliding scale.

Sliding scale means in this case she was paying nothing. Who was picking up the cost of the pills? PP is funded by the government.

She was filming the fact that this was the third ambulance since February .The person being carried away identity was not known in the film. Granny was attacked that is clear and you defend violence against her

How is this an issue of debate? I saw the earlier exchanges about whether or not PP BC pills are funded by the gov, but couldn't tell what the issue is/was. Pills and other services are subsidized by the taxpayer. The only thing PP cannot use taxpayer funds for is abortion.

Poor lady. I am not for violence against the elderly. People who meddle in others' business usually shoot themselves in the own foot at some point anyway.

Who in the world gets free birth control???

PP launders taxpayer money into abortion services. Let me give you an example:

I give my college bound daughter an allowance but tell her not to spend it on alcohol. Now the dollars I give her may not directly go to alcohol (maybe books, gas, living expenses etc) but by giving her that money, I free up other money she can use for alcohol.

But the reason this issue is involved is because I want to remove all taxpayer funding for PP. BC, abortion, or pamphlet passing. I don't care. I don't think taxpayer money should subsidize PP. Let them survive on private donations.

Did you even watch the video. It opens identifying the woman as a "praying Catholic woman." Of course I've never seen a good Catholic pray while videotaping and narrating events going on, but maybe she is especially good at multi-tasking.
Can I get you on record for pushing back the retirement age?
