Lets Talk Planned Parenthood

http://www.nationaljournal.com/2012-election/cecile-richards-speech-full-text-from-the-democratic-national-convention-20120905

Tonight Cecile Richards talked about how important Planned Parenthood was to women's health, and how Republicans like Mitt Romney were the devil for ever thinking of defunding Planed Parenthood. Well lets talk about defunding it shall we? I'm all for it. Yes, I want Planned Parenthood defunded. Per the wishes of Ms Blatteau for me this year, I will try to hold back the sarcasm regarding why I want PP defunded, but it is not because I "hate women". Those of you who know me, or were in class the other day, know I am very pro-life. I do not believe in abortion. I don't believe tax dollars should be used to fund abortion. That being said, we all know Planned Parenthood preforms abortions, and it is funded by tax dollars. So, with that being said I want PP defunded. If it was completely up to me, I would immediately put the funding they receive at a big 0. If they stop preforming abortions, I'd be more than glad to return their funding. I love the other work they do for women. Another woman spoke on how PP saved her life and all that is wonderful work they do over there. That is something that should be taxpayer funded, not the murder of innocent unborn Americans, ones with the unalienable right to life. Now some of you will say "Oh only 3% of what they do is abortions!" Well let me cut you off there because I don't care. I don't care if you do 1 abortion a year or 330,000 like PP. If you preform abortions, you should not receive taxpayer dollars. Now if you're someone like Mahogany, you'll say something along the lines of "Don't you care about the mother in this situation?" Again, I'll stop you right there because the answer is "No". Unless the mother was raped, it was from incest or her life is in danger, do not mention the mother because I simply do not care. She does not matter in this situation and I am not thinking about her what so ever. Why? Because this conversation is not about her, she has nothing to do with the conversation. This conversation is about the human life that is inside that woman. It is about the unalienable right that human life has to life. No one can take away that right to life. Not the government, not a doctor, not the mother. That baby has the unalienable right, a right they are endowed with by their creator (who/what ever that is), to breathe their first breath, see their first sight, hear their first sound. That is a right all of us had, and a right I want every single unborn human life to have. No one has the "right" to deny others their rights. That is what the conversation is about. Not a woman.

  1. I appreciate that you offered an evidence-based argument with clear reasons explaining your opinion. You address the talking points of the opposing view which is a very important skill to develop in politics. President Bill Clinton used the same tactic minutes ago to refute GOP policy. Not to stray from your original topic, but just to give you props on your rhetorical style. Good work Ray.
