Gift Certificates for an Abortion?

How about 2 for the price of 1. Maybe pay folks money for sterilization. Sounds immoral. but some of these folks just might go for it. Arbortion is just really a sad state of affairs for this country.

Disgusting!!!!! I am pro choice, but gift certificates for abortion, sick, sick, sick!

Whoo-hoo! I’ll be sending one to my favorite Indiana Senator, Brandt Hershmann!! I’m sure he will appreciate the gift since he has been so generous to PPIN

A gift certificate valid for a contract killing. Is that on anyone’s wish list this year?

so if these health-care gift certificates are “attacks on the Christian community at Christmastime.” should we all assume that Christians don’t NEED prostate exams? Or contraception? Or STD treatments and the like?
As for who one might give these to, how about your girlfriend who just lost her health insurance and only has two weeks of birth control left?
What a bunch of maroons these Christianist whiners are. Just because the CAN be used for abortions doesn’t mean they WILL be. It’d be different, maybe, if they were specifically FOR abortion (which no Christian would EVER have! Oh, no!).

I don’t see what the big deal is with these gift cards…Also as for the groups in indiana that are against abortion and planned parenthood. Isnt planned parenthood a good thing? or would we rather have a bunch of 13 year old girls running around with kids? You decide.

Seems to me that a gift card for things like PAP smears, contraception counseling and the like would be welcomed by a woman with low income and no health insurance. As the article said, 95% of the services PP provide are basic women’s health services.

Magie Read, I don’t like Sarah Palin, but there is no need for such an attack.

This is the real question… why are 13 year olds having babies at all? Don’t say they are unable to get an abortion… that is simply the reason they are not delivering them. More importantly, why are they having sex at all?
Why is abortion even needed if contraception works?
If contraception doesn’t work to prevent pregnancy completely effectively, what is its purpose (ie, why did it come into existance)?
If abstinence (even during fertile times in marriage if pregnancy is not wanted) is shown to completely prevent pregnancy, than the logical end is not that contraception was invented to prevent pregnancy, that could already be done, but rather to indulge the vice of lust.
If contraception allows the indulgence of lust, who does it really benefit?
If feminism was meant to make men and women equal in society, why are women being raped, stalked and abused in higher numbers than ever?
Contraception has been proven to increase the risk of disease, breast cancer and infertility, does this benefit women?
Statistics consistently show that marriages between people who do not contracept, live together before marriage and are open to having children are the most happy marriages with a less than 2% chance of divorce, not to mention that these couples all report having the highest level of sexual satisfaction. In this case, does contraception really allow the pleasure of sex without the responsibility?
Why are we teaching sex ed as young as kindergarten and then surprised when kids get pregnant at 13.
Why does the rate of abortion rise with the rate of contraception?
Why does the rate of unplanned pregnancy rise with the rate of contraception?
Why does the rate of contraception rise with the rate of sex ed classes?
Why does the rate of STDs also rise with the rate of contraception?
Why then, is sex ed looked at as a way to help prevent unplanned pregnancy, abortion, and STDs?
On a side note… please justify “pro-Bible, pro-Choice” where your view is in the Bible (as I am a biblical scholar who understands hebrew, and have never found this in any degree)
Another side note…. please justify to me how a person with downsyndrome or similar condition is less of a person… because biologically, the same argument has been made throughout history that blacks, jews, catholics, etc are less of a person with about the same amount of logic.

questionit: where do you obtain statistical data that supports your assertions? Much of what you assert is not supported by CDC and US Census data, and seems skewed.

hmmm… a million dead since the start of the war?
Care to site a source on that ?
this site has a total under 100,000 since the start of the war.
factor that against the way Saddam was exterminating people….
“Along with other human rights organizations, The Documental Centre for Human Rights in Iraq has compiled documentation on over 600,000 civilian executions in Iraq. Human Rights Watch reports that in one operation alone, the Anfal, Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. Another 500,000 are estimated to have died in Saddam’s needless war with Iran. Coldly taken as a daily average for the 24 years of Saddam’s reign, these numbers give us a horrifying picture of between 70 and 125 civilian deaths per day for every one of Saddam’s 8,000-odd days in power”
Now,…were you and all other liberals who seem so holier than thou about this war screaming about the number of Iraqi’s dying before 2003 ?
now obviously none of these civilian deaths since the start of the war is something anyone wanted, but to infer that we have made things worse for the people of Iraq is not only wrong, but it is ignoring the facts!

Steve, you had to throw in “looking gorgeous” while declaring that Palin did everything “like a man”; nice.
Well, let’s see…I graduated college – attending only one college, and a far better one than any pf the 5 Palin attended, UCLA – I work hard, I run a business, I don’t hunt because I live in an urban area. I’m not politically involved because I don’t want to be a public figure and don’t want my family harassed. I have 3 children with one husband to whom I have been married for 25 years; you failed to mention that dear Sarah was pregnant when she got married, oops. Oh, I’m also a liberal woman. Yes, I’m pro-choice, but that means that I don’t want anyone else making any personal decisions for me. I’m also anti-death penalty, unlike most of the “pro-life” people I know.
All that said, I would have greatly appreciated a Planned Parenthood gift card when I first got married. We were both right out of college, husband in graduate school, only working part-time, certainly couldn’t provide for a child if I were to become pregnant, and had no medical insurance to cover me; my husband could get health care and prescriptions from UCLA’s student health center, but I couldn’t. I also couldn’t really afford to get my birth control prescription from a pharmacy; cost for one month was the same as for a week’s groceries. I was able to find a group that would do my annual exam and provide my prescription as a price I could afford. Of course, years later this same place was firebombed by some “pro-life” group that didn’t do their homework before bombing away; this place didn’t perform abortions.

I’ll listen to the pro-life people the day they come out against war, torture and lying. Of course they would need to abandon the GOP so that will never happen. I’m gonna buy a gift certificate in their name.

Planned Parethood continues to delude women with the notion that abortion is an simply an easy, convenient, (and now more affordable) way to deal with unwanted pregnancies. But they fail to educate women about the startling emotional, physical, and psychological damage that can be inflicted when an abortion is performed. Do you honestly believe that PP counselors are giving women a full range of viable options when they visit a PP office? Do you think adoption is discussed? Are they told that they may be unable to have additional children due to the procedure, or that they may encounter feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, and self-loathing. Cases of depression and suicide are documented. If they explain these risks adequately, I have no problem with it. But I seriously doubt any organization offering blue-light specials on abortions is providing full disclosure to the women they counsel.

Questionit got all his talking points from a MATRICIDAL PEDOPHILE PRIEST tip sheet. He clearly isn’t married to even one woman, or he would know UNnatural Family UNplanning is a PEDOPHILE SCAM. Not only are most women’s cycles unpredictable, a covered-up Catholic medical study revealed sperm can live in women 10 days–several days PAST their so-called “safe” periods. Moreover, a gruesome Nazi study revealed simply scaring women causes them to ovulate OUT OF CYCLE. Angus McLaren has written eye-opening books on the ancient and U.S. history of contraception. For instance, Jesus never condemned Jerusalem’s popular RU-486-like Queen Ann’s Lace weed harvested by his followers because not only did GOD his father create this plant to spare women grisly divorce and death-causing bladder and bowel childbirth lacerations, God also gave women 450 OTHER abortifacient and contraceptive plants like COFFEE, ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, GINGER AND SOY. Moreover, Jesus never condemned the mid wife/abortionists who crushed stuck fetal skulls to save underaged or petite mothers’ lives. My own Munchausen by Proxy mother suffered childbirth incontinence, feared death by another NFP pregnancy, or divorce because of permanent abstinence, so she chemically burned me head to toe to extort “abstinence” from Dad to “prevent another genetic monster like me if he started another family with a non-Catholic second wife. Dad stayed with Mom BUT HE WENT TO HOOKERS. Meanwhile, my disfigurement has made me wish I had been aborted. All the other Catholic extremist families I know are similarly miserable. Anti-choicers should be jailed for using fetuses to maim and murder women. Sarah Palin pretended Bristol’s first child was hers to hide the failure of abstinence-only ed, keep Bristol out of jail for pre-term alcohol abuse of Trig, and probably had an abortion from her affair with her hubby’s partner. Mother killers like Andy Burns and Tom love it when women suffer face and breast-eating pregnancy cancers, stroke, heart attacks, autoimmune diseases, etc. in addition to smelly incontinence. Not only would Andy and Tom never stay married to such childbirth-ruined women, they’d probably MURDER such women BEFORE childbirth to avoid $50,000 hospital fees and $300,000 child support. Andy refuses to mention post partum depression and Munchausen by Proxy psychosis that causes mothers to kill themselves and/or their unwanted kids. Andy and Tom would make abortion a holy sacrament if they had to give birth to melon-sized fetuses through their you-know-whats.

next thanksgiving, how about instead of pardoning a turkey, President Obama pardon a fetus from an impending abortion?

“Disgusting!!!!! I am pro choice, but gift certificates for abortion, sick, sick, sick!” – Sam Higuchi
I’m with you Sam
But I do like the Huh idea “Maybe pay folks money for sterilization.”.
How about this,
$400 gift certificates for Uterus pulls and Vas Deferns cuts, redeemable as a cash card on completion of the procedure.
It would do two things,
1 – Help decrease the amount of unwanted pregnancies.
2 – Give the Human Race a much needed Darwinismic factor towards survival of the fittest.
Sounds like a win win Indiana, give it a try!

More importantly, why are they having sex at all?
Why don’t we discuss that over drinks and dinner and more drinks? I have some Power-Point etchings which will explain these things.

After reading through a lot of these comments, it’s no wonder our country is in the toilet. People are just plain ignorant.

ABC Sinks To New Journalistic Low!
Going to the level of the National Inquirer now? This article title is misleading, rude, and ultimately a stain on journalistic principals.
My title for this post is accurate. But you got the ‘pro-choice’ people all riled up, so I suppose you attained your goal with this false ‘controversy’.
I might give one of these certificates to my college age niece. It will support a great health care program-Planned Parenthood- and protect my nieces health.

When Jim Sediak gets pregnant, I might be interested in his opinion about whether or not he should be able to control his own uterus.
Until then, not so much.

What an offensive, misrepresentation of a headline. How about “Gift Certificates attempt to make up for lack of affordable health care”? Planned Parenthood does a lot more than provide abortions. I’ve gone there for yearly pap smears, a thyroid test, birth control (so I, knock on wood, won’t need an abortion). A headline like that just tarnishes what reputation ABC news had left.

Gift certificates for a pap smear?
Gift certificates for a urinary tract infection?
“A headline like that just tarnishes what reputation ABC news had left.”
Absolutely. Although after their “debate” ABC “News” had no reputation.

….would Michelle be offended if I gave a hand full of these coupons to each of her two girls? How bout to any and all prominent black politicians children? Would I be seen as a racist or generous? Would those who hate blacks say it was an ounce of prevention or would that be seen as a progressive gesture? I mean perhaps we can give out certificates to all liberals only because we care about them right?
