Best Argument against “Pro-Choice” and the “Right of Privacy” to kill unborn children:
“You can’t force a surgeon to perform a surgery, but once they’re in the middle of it, they can’t just stop and walk away, letting the person die. Likewise, you can’t force a daycare professional to show up at work, but once she’s there, she can’t just leave the children unattended because she doesn’t want to work anymore - it’s child abandonment. 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.”
- - H.C. Douglas
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.

Why did every Democrat campaigning for president express outrage when the United States Supreme Court upheld the ban on partial birth abortion ?
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.

I am pro choice- not my call-- we each have to answer-
but if the adoptions were less expensive and bit easier-- be better for these poor kids who are here parentless- it's sad and it's a big business--
If adoptions are too cheap and too easy you also get more abused kids. It's very complicated.

Who said I was "rifling through" patient records? You make lots of assumptions.
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.

I volunteered at a small PP office with one Nurse Practitioner, a receptionist, and me twice a week. I was there to do whatever was needed to help. No abortions were performed at this little storefront clinic.
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.
You're really pointing a finger at the wrong person. I guess you volunteered prior to HIPAA because volunteers rifling through patient records is illegal.
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.
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.
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.
Yet the people who cry loudest about abortion want neither sex education in schools nor easy access to birth control. Why is that?
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.
