Greg Gutfeld’s style is not my favorite but he got it right on the Planned Parenthood penchant for selling baby fetus parts; “What if they were DOLPHINS?”
Imagine the outrage from liberals if anybody was harvesting and killing dolphin fetuses? WOW.
The left is using the video to divert from the point of the message; “Actors shouldn’t be used to trap a doctor!” “It was edited” …as if the POINT of killing late term babies for body parts isn’t horrid? And WE are paying for it?
Have we come to the point that cute little animals are more sacrosanct than cute little human babies? What are your thoughts on this?
Do you think we can ever get Planned Parenthood unfunded? Or at least taken off tax exempt status?
Do you think it should be closed down, or allowed to stay open but not with any tax dollars? Or do you believe they really truly don’t do abortions with tax dollars?

My attitude on the whole pro-life/pro-choice thing is complex and always manages to piss off just about everybody, from ultra-conservative to far-leftistas. Hence, I rarely share it.
OTOH, Planned Parenthood is a freakin joke. Killing babies for spare parts is freakin murder. And government funding for abortion on demand is freakin wrong.
And from some other hand, what bothers me most about the entire panoply of related subjects is the raging ignorance, on BOTH sides. For example, for those who believe that human life begins at the moment of fertilization of the ovum, if they support use of most birth-control pills they are supporting abortion, since the pill doesn’t prevent fertilization but floods the uterus with artificial hormones, confusing it into believing that fertilization failed and the egg should be flushed; they are unaware of how the pill works.
On still another hand, I strongly believe that certain people should not be allowed to reproduce under certain conditions, and if pregnancy results from their lack of self-discipline, it should be terminated as soon as possible — but, NEVER into the third trimester.
How’s that for confusing? Kinda like my tellin a guy recently that I consider people blasphemers who get it into their heads to play god, even though I’m not a religious type. And as for people who rip late-term foetuses apart because some bimbo is concerned about stretchmarks or “harvest” their organs for profit, they should be sterilized by soldering iron and compelled to empty bedpans and clean restrooms in MediCaid clinics, without gloves.

Minor point, but important to purists:
Not all birth-control pills prevent ovulation; some do, some don’t. Especially in low-dose pills, the possibility of “breakthrough” or “escape” ovulation can be as high as 20 to 25%, depending upon which study is believed. Once ovulation and subsequent fertilization occurs, the pill is no longer properly a “birth-control” but an abortifacient.
Some women can ovulate as a result of missing a single day’s dosage. But pregnancy occurs with fertilization, not implantation. That’s not my definition; it’s pretty much industry standard.
Most modern-day pills are combo pills with several synthetic hormones. One prevents ovulation, another alters the condition of the cervical mucus, and still another (almost all varieties of pills have this one, I believe) prevents the lining of the womb (endometrium) from achieving the proper thickness, thus inhibiting implantation. I used to know the names, but have forgotten them.
A woman can ovulate while believing she’s safe on the pill for a several reasons: missing a day’s dose, vomiting, alcohol consumption, and even diet. The actual percentage of women experiencing conception while on the pill is quite small. The number who then flush out the zygote is, therefore, small as well. I don’t remember the numbers, but for some reason the figure less than one percent comes to mind.
When I was younger, common practice in many areas for “working girls” was large doses of quinine or other harsh substances as abortifacients. (In 1966 I was on arduous sea duty and played pinochle regularly with the ship’s independent E-6 corpsman. He and I did quite a lot of research on birth control and related issues, having little else to do on those long stretches between port calls.) What I remember from that was the toxic effect of quinine and other related “fixes” on the kidneys, liver, and even the eyes.
He and I concluded that the safest method of preventing unwanted pregnancies was for the woman to accurately determine her ovulation cycle and abstain from sex for the 5 days prior and the 2 days after, since in the absence of unusual or unnatural agents, such as hormone pills or harsh chemicals, the sperm can survive only around 100 hours in the cervix and the ovum is viable for a max of around 30 hours.
Not lookin for an argument . . . just sayin . . . . . . and it’s not NICE to fool with Mother Nature.

Bocopro….of course pregnancy only results from fertilization, that’s why blocking ovulation, no eggs, is a way of preventing births without killing anything at all. …

Milady & I figgered it all out back around 1965: every time I came home from a long deployment, she got pregnant. Haddabe all that salt air.
What initially stimulated my continuing interest in it was that she carried a dead foetus for several months. Nearly died from septicemia (sepsis). Naval Hospital sent me a flash message on my ship to get my permission to remove it surgically while detoxing her. ‘Course we had daughters at the time, and those things tend to turn into women at some point in their lives with ovaries and all that stuff. Our boys didn’t appear to be similarly at risk, so I we didn’t worry about them at the time.
Ligation was almost a given as an adjunct procedure while the docs were in her belly. That’s a pretty reliable preventative. They removed quite a lot of other tissue, too, to be safe, just shy of a hysterectomy, which is of course the ultimate control tool. She’s now 78 and more than fulfilled with enough grandkritters to field a baseball team and some to spare.

Milady & I have 4: 2 boys, 2 girls. She has another from a teenaged “I’ll show YOU, Daddy!” marriage long before I met her. He has 3 grown children, but no grandchildren yet. Our 4 kids have 9 children, so she has a dozen grandkids.
Once ours were all gone and I was retired from the Navy and teaching at the university, she succumbed to the empty-nest syndrome and got a cushy job as the franchise manager for a high-end jewelry company outta Noo Yawk Sitty. Chump change, but it fit her ancient dream of running a small store well enough.
She’s been doin it for almost 30 years and now puts in maybe 20 hours/week, bringing home an average of $20K, so it ain’t much . . . more of a hobby. She IS lookin for a replacement she can train to take over for her. The last two she picked didn’t work out so well.
Here’s the part that fascinates me: she works with fine jewelry, involving all manner of small-print documentia and tiny little tags and bookkeeping and all that — BUT, she has macular degeneration and can’t see worth a damn. Has to have magnifying lenses and bright light and all. Every 4 months I take her to a retina specialist (Dr. Sunil Gupta, helluva nice guy) who gives her injections into her eyeballs to augment his holistic medicine approach to the condition.
One eye is more or less in stasis, and the other is still degenerating, but at a very slow rate. She is, inarguably, the best thing that ever happened to me. Good cook, too. Guh-RATE grandmother. Speaks about 6 languages, so when I screw up, I get a patois of critical, demeaning, vituperative abuse, only about half of which I fully understand. Tone is generally unmistakable, tho.
