Be that as it may, this is the first I have ever heard of it. And it seems to be making a comeback on Facebook, idiots posting it as though it is divine information.

Then there's also stuff, like The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, which was run by U.S. Public Health Service until 1972.
Quote:For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,”1 their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.”
History like this, combined with consistent displays of racism and demonization of the poor makes it difficult to persuade people, that they're being paranoid and/or being manipulated by opportunistic demagogues.

Rich white women can get all the abortions they want.
It is the poor who need help to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Just look when Rick Perry started pushing his anti abortion laws in Texas causing the closure of Planned Parenthood clinics.
His sister runs a clinic that provides abortion services - for a large cost, of course.

It actually really is pretty believable in some parts of this country IMO.
Also...I'm remembering something sinister about the history of PP. I'll have to google it.
As it is now I think PP is a wonderful organization.
With the way American institutions routinely gas 1 cubic metre of cats and dogs just because no-one wants them, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. I mean, who has ever heard of putting harmless animals in a gas chamber? So no, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest with the mentality of some American people.

And how many cats are a metric cube of them? How do they pack them? Inquiring minds want to know.

1 cubic meter of cats = 1 cubic adorableness
