Pro-life community does not want to fund abortion provider

As a secular citizen I am more disgusted by the fact that I, and the rest of the taxpayers, are forced to subsidize the propagation of iron age mythologies through the special tax status granted to religious organizations. I am far more disgusted by the fact that I am helping to finance ideas such as homosexuals are evil, women should not have control over their own bodies, birth control is a sin, and the denial of reason and science such as the rejection of evolution. I'll tell you what, I would support the elimination of federal money for Planned Parenthood if all the relgious organizations would agree to lose their special treatment under US tax laws and pay their fair share like everyone else.

Gordoncash, would you mind clarifying what lies are contained in this post?

Obviously, a perfect birth control barrier system does not exist. Time to develop one!

In the meantime, monomasturbation or mutual masturbation are highly recommended for heterosexuals who need a contraceptive.

Abstinence is another best-solution but obviously the sex drive typically vitiates this option although being biological would it not be able to develop a drug to temporarily eliminate said drive? Planned Parenthood should make the development of such a drug a high priority.

From the Guttmacher Institute:

FIRST-YEAR CONTRACEPTIVE FAILURE RATES

Percentage of women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy

Method Typical

Pill (combined) 8.7
Tubal sterilization 0.7
Male condom 17.4
Vasectomy 0.2

Periodic abstinence 25.3
Calendar 9.0
Ovulation Method 3.0
Sympto-thermal 2.0
Post-ovulation 1.0

No method 85.0"

(Abstinence) 0

(Masturbation) 0

The failure of the Pill as noted above results in one million unplanned pregnancies every year because women basically fail to take it once a day as prescribed. Is there a literacy problem that Planned Parenthood failed to recognize?

The failure of the male condom results in another one million unplanned pregnancies every year basically because many men, as per Guttmacher, fail to use them even though they have them in their pockets or billfolds.

Then there are these additional facts:

from the CDC-2006

"Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a major public health challenge in the United States. While substantial progress has been made in preventing, diagnosing, and treating certain S-TDs in recent years, CDC estimates that approximately 19 million new infections occur each year, almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24.1 In addition to the physical and psychological consequences of STDs, these diseases also exact a tremendous economic toll. Direct medical costs as-sociated with STDs in the United States are estimated at up to $14.7 billion annually in 2006 dollars."

"Yes, oral sex is sex, and it can boost cancer risk-

Here's a crucial message for teens: Oral sex carries many of the same risks as vaginal sex, including human papilloma virus, or HPV. And HPV may now be overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of oral cancers in America in people under age 50.

"Adolescents don’t think oral sex is something to worry about," said Bonnie Halpern-Felsher professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. "They view it as a way to have intimacy without having 'sex.'"

Obviously, Planned Parenthood, parents, sexually active couples and the educational system have failed miserably on many fronts.

Actually the greatest threat to the anti-abortion movement is medical technology. With the current technology the anti-abortion movement has no way of knowing how many woman choose not to have a baby since there are now pills that do the work of an abortion clinic. Bummer for the people want to make women act as baby machines.

Once we can suck the zygote out and successfully incubate it artifically, then the pro-choice crowd will have a tougher time defending their position.

"Why doesn't the Religious Right spearhead a campaign to eliminate the need for abortion in our time?"

Good question.

But of course there's a painfully obvious answer: The religious right believes that contraception is just another form of abortion. If you prevent conception, you're killing a baby.

Make that a "potential baby."

But the RR invests even that pre-conception twinkle in a prospective daddy's eye with all the rights and responsibilities of full citizenship.

No, dependable, fool-proof contraception will never shut them up.

Of all the fabrications and outright lies I have read about Planned Parenthood, an organization which I proudly support, yours pretty much take first prize, Mr. Sekulow. Are you not aware that, according to the Ten Commandments, God has an opinion about bearing false witness against one's neighbors?

I'm sure pro-choice taxpayers don't like their dollars funding the tax exemptions of forced-birth religions and organizations, so when their concerns are given just as much legitimacy by Sekulow as he insists everyone else give the forced-birthers, then he won't be such an easily-debunked hypocrite on the issue of taxpayer dollars funding activities and groups they disagree with and abhor.

Once again, the smug self-righteous Pharisees tell us why they are better than Jesus and why the have the right to call themselves pro-life when they have shown that they have no respect for women and don't really care what happens to the babies. It's a shame that there is no way to stop them from calling themselves "Christian".

You can be Christian or you can be Republican.

JS: "The greatest threat to Planned Parenthood is medical technology, not pro-life organizations, legislators, or religious views."

Yes, when contraception is made fail-safe, abortion will never be an issue again. Why doesn't the Religious Right spearhead a campaign to eliminate the need for abortion in our time?
