What do you get when you cut Planned Parenthood funding?

These women make a good living off these tax writeoffs.

 

Lunch time. Doritos anyone? That crunching sound is the sweet sound of a sale. Oh look its a boy.

 

She also championed birth control during a time when women were seen as little more than baby incubators and outlets for their men's sexual urges.

She had been arrested on the Comstock Act for daring to disseminate information on birth control. It was seen as obscenity.

 

Another example of people being "enlightened" back then. Charles Lindbergh also was a eugenecist.

 

What was that crazy Martin Luther King Jr. thinking about in 1966 when he accepted the Margaret Sanger Award?????

 

So?

 

Planned Parenthood Once Had GOP Pals


Planned Parenthood wasn’t always such a partisan lightning rod.

In the 1960s and 1970s the organization that has recently become the prime target of House Republicans drew the support of prominent members of the Grand Old Party.

President Richard Nixon signed family-planning legislation in 1970 that authorized federal funding for groups such as Planned Parenthood, which Republicans now want to cut. Former Sen. Barry Goldwater’s wife, Peggy, was a founding member of Planned Parenthood in Arizona. And George H.W. Bush, as a Republican Congressman from Houston, spoke so frequently on the House floor about the issue that he was tagged with an eyebrow-raising nickname.

“He was so supportive of family planning that people called him ‘Rubbers,’” said Gloria Feldt, who was national president of Planned Parenthood from 1996 until 2005.

This support did not mean that Planned Parenthood was controversy-free. Bush’s father, Prescott Bush, lost his first bid for Senate in Connecticut in 1950 after receiving criticism from a syndicated columnist and church officials over his role in supporting Planned Parenthood. The elder Bush was treasurer of the family planning group’s first national fundraising campaign.

 

It shows that many people of all walks of life held views back then that we'd find abhorrent today. Doesn't mean that the work being done today is any less important or the cause is unjust.

 

I don't know. It sounds like revisionist history to me. She clearly said the negros are getting too populated so we've got to get them on-board with birth control and the best way to do that is to get white doctors and black preachers to join us because the negros respect them and we don't want word to get out that we are trying to exterminate the negro population.

Yes, it's not direct quote, but it's early. It's what was said.

 

OK, Ms. Schott.

 

Sure thing, President Washington. Nice of you to wait until your wife dies before freeing your slaves.

 

You don't think it's possible that she wanted to help women and do work to support her racist views at the the same time?
