63. I'm sick of the "pro-life" bs

Thu Feb 2, 2012, 10:37 AM

Feb 2012

many cannot say they are "pro-life" unless they also are against war (that kills children), against the death penalty and against child hunger and poverty. What they are against is women having control over birth control. when it comes to a health choice, I value my daughter more than an embryo.

Planned Parenthood does more screenings, and just a small portion on abortion. Yet, they choose to focus on abortions. a choice should be between the woman, her doctor, her family and if applicable, her church. The government should have no say, period.

Yeah, this organization seems to be a mega money maker with high end administration costs.
