I hate this shit. It's so easy to manipulate they masses into believing something, why would you bother to gain their support to hard way? The other day an article was going around claiming that the Seattle school district was forcing 12 year old girls to have IUDs implanted without their parents knowledge or consent. Of course that's bullshit, any rational person can see that but getting the truth out there is a hundred times harder. Furthermore, many of the "news" groups that share this sort of stuff will reference each other as though having a reference lends them credibility. But it's a giant circle jerk of references with no credible source among them. Right, cause she is the authority on profiting off at the expense of others....said businesswoman Carly Fiorina. “This isn’t about ‘choice.’ It’s about profiting on the death of the unborn while telling women it’s about empowerment.”
The attacks on PP are always so frustrating because abortions make up >2% of their services. They're not out here to murder babies and sell their delicious baby meat on the black market; they're here to provide affordable, easy access women's healthcare.
[sarcasm] but the Us vs. Them dialog is so much easier! [/sarcasm] short story - my wife is walking down the street in downtown Denver with a 'friend'. A woman approaches the 'friend' with a clipboard and kindly says "Hi, I'm Becka, I'm with Planned P..." "NO THANK YOU!" responds 'friend' complete with upraised, extended hand and righteous indignation. My wife is struck by the unnecessarily angry response and it takes a block for her to process it. She asks the 'friend' about the vitriol and 'friend' launches into a tirade about abortion and the evils of feminism and girl scouts as a recruitment tool for NOW.... we're not really friends with 'friend' anymore.
oh lordt. my favorite thing is when the onion abortionplex article gets circulated as fact.
Not familiar with it, so I guess not. I picked it up from a friend haha
I see it all the time there, it's an old meme. Maybe your friend is secretly an ONTD-er!
(Wrong symbol. They make up less than 2%, so <2%) They also can't use any of the public funding they receive for anything related to abortion services, so even the dumb fucks saying "I DON'T WANT MY TAX DOLLARS FUNDING THAT!" aren't. So they can be happy.
