What hassle? Giving cash? I think money talks. Now you may say it's because they can't bill for their usual exorbitant cost per procedure, but I just don't believe they denied you when you were willing to pay. Sorry.

A little fact liberals like to skip over. How anybody can support a organization like that is beyond me.

Yep.


Would you support PP for all of the good that they do fighting cancer even though they also happen to perform abortions?

Didn't think so.

oh please. her history is well known. Liberal don't skip over it, they aknowledge it.

If you hold such a grudge, then you wouldn't be using some of the more famous products that supported some type of against the norm thinking way back when.

Margaret Sanger's beliefs was first and foremost : womans health.

Although started by her, TODAY (and that's ALL THAT FRACKING MATTERS), her beliefs beyond womans health weight little on the organization.

only right-wing-conservate-religious-women-hating zealots think that someone's beliefs of over 100 years ago is still held today.

And does this appear on their mission statement today?

You do know that Alexander Graham Bell was also a eugenicist.
Bet it doesn't stop you from using a telephone.

Because many doctors don't have the time or energy to deal with someone who has a few pre existing conditions (including a very rare lysosomal storage disorder) that would require research and time on their part to treat. I've actually made appointments with doctors, released my charts and had them call me and tell me they wouldn't be able to take me. More than once.

I HAVE insurance now and still got turned down three times before I found my current physician.

Some conservatives sure are obsessed with what other people do in their bedrooms





There are other organizations and charities that specialize in cancer research and prevention, the ACS being one of them. Nice strawman though.



I could care less what anyone does in their bedrooms. I do however care what they do with my tax dollars.

Free flowing birth control, no consequences for poor choices, and lack of shame in bringing a child into this world without 2 loving, committed parents that can care for them is a big part of the problem.

Nope. Because I think PP doesn't do good. They make it too easy and "feel good" for women to make poor choices. It's called enabling, and I do not support that.
