Except that Planned Parenthood doesn't do mammograms...sheesh! I agree with his comments and they shouldn't have reversed their decision.
People deny this even in light of information like this:
"The Susan G. Komen decision elicited such a heated response because it threatened to remove the "women's health" fig leaf from PP. By now, everyone has learned that PP, its own claims notwithstanding, does not provide mammograms. It provides referrals for mammograms. Considering that about 80 percent of PP clients are under the age of 35, and only 5 percent of breast cancers are found in women under the age of 40, it is unlikely that PPs manual breast exams and referrals for further screening are medically significant. Mayor Bloomberg could surely find better recipients for breast cancer screening contributions."
...and even these so called referrals are suspect, when you watch the following video, where a caller contacts multiple PP clinics all over the country, requesting an appointment for a mammogram, where she is repeatedly told PP doesn't do mammograms. We never hear the person at the clinic spontaneously offering to make an appointment for the caller to come in for a breast exam and referral. One time, when the caller presses for help, she is given the name of a Christian Community Clinic! (So, PP gets the funding, while the Christian Community Center does the work!)

Are you old enough to be on these boards? Just want to make sure I'm not conversing about sensitive material with a minor...
Old enough to be able to read and determine valid sources. Maybe you're too old to take the time, so you let yourself be spoonfed the dogma spewed by the anti-choice hoardes?
Maybe, maybe not. God has given children to many and had not provided for them. Take a look at the starving babies in Africa for example.
Is Africa a Christian nation?
Your post shows a lack of understanding for the difference between those that are Christian and those that are not Christian. The promise is in the Bible that God will take care of those that are His children. It is also the basic reason the people in the United States are having so many problems right now. Obama said that we are not a Christian nation thus giving us over to the devil. That is the main reason not to vote for him. He is bad for our country because he also lacks understanding. The only way our nation will get out of the mess we are in is to come back to those core values so many of you like to laugh at and make fun of those of us that have true wisdom. And yes, sometimes the just suffer with the unjust. I find it really sad that so many people are so outspoken against anything Christian in the United States. With your words you are causing the destruction of our entire country. Christians are standing in the gap and helping to keep total destruction from happening. I feel that Christians are outnumbered. I challenge you to get a Bible and read Proverbs. The truth shall set you free.
Would a Christian nation ever murder so many innocent babies on a daily basis? America wake up!

You are exactly the type of Christian who gives the rest of us a bad name.
