Repealing the ACA will mean that (as always), abortion is a much cheaper option than proper pre-natal care and childbirth (particularly a C-section).

In both case, your action have caused someone to be dependent upon you and you are responsible for that dependent. Pregnancy is no different. The child has a right to your body because you made that child dependent on you.”

Once you make a helpless life dependent upon you, you have no choice nor right to terminate it.
I would agree with this if one could become pregnant deliberately.

False equivalency.

Who is H.C. Douglas and why should I care what he says I should or should not do with my uterus again?

Because partial birth abortion is just a way to describe a physician's decision to remove a fetus that can NOT survive outside the womb or whose continued presence inside the womb is threatening to kill the mother.

Partial birth abortions are not performed for convenience purposes to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.

Making a woman walk around continuing a pregnancy that will result in a baby that will die as soon as it is born or very soon after is cruel to the mother and to the potential baby that results from the forced continuation of the pregnancy.

If adoptions are too cheap and too easy you also get more abused kids. It's very complicated.

Again, you can be self-righteous and make assumptions, but what have personally you done to help anyone besides attack those that did something, for poor women and the mission of PP, and post on a message board? Words don't accomplish anything. Actions do.
You say that like you know me.

I have volunteered and I have helped women and other marginalized groups of human beings. I am not going to spread details here, because they are personal.

You act like you're the only person who ever volunteered anywhere. Come on.

That still doesn't answer the question as to why you had that kind of access to patient files. I am curious also. I would not want volunteers in a medical facility privy to my medical files.

I'm sure it's great that you helped out, what with being so open-minded and non-judgmental toward the patients there.

Maybe this was prior to HIPAA? I will say - small facilities and/or doctor's offices seem to be very lax with patient records.

If I recall, I helped some patients who couldn't read well, or couldn't read at all, to fill out forms. Patients shared their experiences with me, also. I don't remember much more, as it has been over two decades ago that I volunteered at Planned Parenthood. The organization did much good. That little clinic was always busy. I volunteered there for a few years.

What are you talking about? Walk in to the store, buy a box, there's your birth control.

I also know one that's FREE! Absolutely free! Yet when it's pointed out what it is, all we hear are excuses as to why no one can possibly use the FREE version of birth control. FREE as in: It costs no one a single penny, and it's 100% fool proof...unless you're Mary Magdalin.
