"Abortion is something people who don't plan for parenthood get when they feel there is no other option. Be it for economical reasons, medical, religious, shame, or selfishness, it is always going to happen whether law permits, or stigma persists."
If you believe that a person begins at conception, then the above statement contains some abhorrent suggestions.
The name of the organisation emphasises this. Al is emphasising the stigma and saying it's all good to her.

A problem with the christians who rail against PP and call for it to be shut down and threaten the safety of the staff who work there for being "baby killers"???
Until such a time as they need to use it themselves.
Of course I have a probelm with that.

Oh yayy! I get to use scripture for argument.
Hosea 9:16- Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Why?
Hosea 9:17- My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Barf.
What an abhorrent suggestion.
There are a lot more, but why do you need more?
I'm saying I don't give a fuck if people don't like the name of the clinic that helps people with so much. If they are that ignorant, I obviously don't care what they think.

A flawed service is the best we have. Less political and religious point scoring on both sides would help everybody I think.

To me the words "planned parenthood" (ignoring the organisation with the name) would mean that person planned, got ready for, and got everything set up, for the baby. If the conception itself was unplanned the parent/s, once they realised a baby was on the way, starting getting ready.
Unplanned parenthood would mean it was either an accident or no/little planning or prepreparation was involved
'planned parenthood', the name, would actually imply that there ISN'T an abortion. Parenthood by definition "The state of being a parent", implies that there IS a baby, that the person IS a parent.
Associations with abortions have nothing to do with the organisation's name in my opinion.
On abortions, I've yet to determine where I think the acceptable (In an ordinary case) cutoff time/limit is, I would put it down to neural development, anyone got a good flowchart of brain development?

Frodo, I assure you the whole chapter where I got those two verses is entirely abhorrent.

So...if I get this right...you're arguing about the name?
Because the abortions would have to happen with the least frequency if people concentrated on the contraceptive and information distribution.
I'm failing to see how the idea of planning parenthood emphasizes abhorrent ideas, whatever you believe about conception, my love. I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just trying to twist my head in the same direction as yours.
Alei, fr0d0 doesn't subscribe very much to organized religion and as such Bible verses won't give you much fodder. He'll dodge them.

I believe I would dodge that horrible book too... unless I was a fire.
