And WHAT past wrongs are we talking about?

Are you saying that we should believe "little Miss Drunk" with the little girl's voice at age fifty who tried to ruin the life of a respected judge - and WHY? - because the guy's pro-life while she prefers abortion! Seriously, liking beer does NOT make a person unqualified to serve on our nation's highest court!

And people wonder why there's a gender gap!

Dumpington said:

"... the thing to do is 1) keep abortion safe, legal and accessible in the early stages of pregnancy, 2) make contraception more readily available so unintended pregnancies are less likely in the first place, and 3) provide comprehensive sex education in schools. But I'd bet the farm you're staunchly opposed to all three."


As for #2, does the name Sandra Fluke mean anything to you?

Click to expand...

It means enough that I remember what she actually said in her Congressional testimony, which you - surprise surprise - clearly do not. Just for starters, she didn't say anything about $3,000 per month for anything.

And regarding #3, are you even aware that liberal educators in at least one school district brought in DRAG QUEENS to read children's books to little kids to prepare them for the real world? Is THIS what the Democratic Party thinks of America? A presidential executive order allowing transgendered men to use women's bathrooms, and guys who think they're women playing (and winning) athletic competitions meant exclusively for girls?

Click to expand...

It's the Republicans who want transgendered men to use women's bathrooms, Dumpington. At least get your terminology right. (Hint: transgendered men were born biologically female.) And I don't know anything about the drag queens in school incident that you're referring to, but I'm betting it's either apocryphal or perfectly unobjectionable, or quite possibly both.

"ETA: and 4) provide comprehensive, affordable pre-natal care, so catastrophic birth defects are detected in time to take action. But we know what you think of health care reform."

I genuinely LIKE how the passage of ObamaCare in 2009 resulted in massive Democratic Party congressional losses in 2010, 2012, & 2014! That was quite gratifying! Without the Republican take-over of the U.S. Senate, for example, neither Neil Gorsuch & Brett Kavanaugh would EVER have been confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, while Merrick Garland WOULD have! (Thank you, ObamaCare!)

So let's just get this completely straight: You're proud of the Republicans stealing a Supreme Court seat. Mmmmkay.

YDB95 writes: "And people wonder why there's a gender gap!"

I sincerely HOPE that the Democrats give Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford a speaking role at their party's 2020 national convention, YDB95! I think she would make an EXCELLENT representative as to how the left views America's women (and how America's liberal women view themselves!)

"It means enough that I remember what she actually said in her Congressional testimony, which you - surprise surprise - clearly do not. Just for starters, she didn't say anything about $3,000 per month for anything."

College student Sandra Fluke couldn't afford her heavy contraceptives bill, and so she went to Washington, D.C. to complain about it to congressional Democrats! She was a featured speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. She then ran for a California State Senate seat and LOST! She was another excellent example as to how the left views America's women!

"It's the Republicans who want transgendered men to use women's bathrooms, Dumpington. At least get your terminology right. (Hint: transgendered men were born biologically female.)

So... guys who think they're girls are WOMEN? And girls who identify as guys are now considered to be MEN? And the number of genders among science-denying Democrats is now up to thirty-six? Or is it now thirty-seven?

The drag queens reading to kids was on the nightly news a few days ago. Of course, liberals LOVE that stuff! They want little kids to grow up thinking it's all perfectly normal! And then other liberals will teach their kids how to wear hijabs and praise Allah!

Ilyse Hogue of NARAL Pro-Choice America told NPR that abortion opponents have long debated "just how hard to push to criminalize abortion, and Georgia and Alabama show that the radical fringe is winning.”

Hogue said she blamed President Trump for creating "the conditions for the hard-right turn on reproductive rights,” adding that “the fact remains that the entire anti-choice movement is dangerously out of step with the mainstream pulse of the country.”

"Any ban on access to safe, legal abortion risks women's lives, and is an attack on our fundamental human rights."

- Dr. Leana Wen, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund

Planned Parenthood joined the American Civil Liberties Union in filing a lawsuit challenging Alabama’s abortion ban, which has not yet taken effect, on Friday. The lawsuit comes a week after Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the bill despite admitting it was “unenforceable” since it is primarily intended to compel the Supreme Court to reconsider the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling from 1973.

https://www.salon.com/2019/05/25/le...better-than-abortion-for-rape-incest-victims/

“This law is blatantly unconstitutional,” ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project attorney Alexa Kolbi-Molinas said in a statement, “and the ACLU will not stand by while politicians emboldened by President Trump’s anti-abortion agenda exploit our health and our lives for political gain.”

At one time, Democrats claimed to be all about defending workers rights, racial equality, the environment, the poor, the elderly, and/or the many other things they insist are important. But not anymore. Today they are, above all else, the party of ABORTION - an unapologetic arm of the ABORTION LOBBY!

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last week announced that it was canceling a fundraiser for Rep. Dan Lipinski of Illinois. But WHY, you ask? Well, Lipinski is the LAST pro-life Democrat congressman remaining in the U.S. House of Representatives, and so he's got to GO - Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Emily’s List ALL want Lipinski ousted, and today's Democrats now act on marching orders from those groups.

Democratic Party politicians from everywhere are calling for boycotts of Alabama for passing a bill to outlaw most abortions. This isn’t merely a concerted push advocated by the abortion lobby, but it is LITERALLY SCRIPTED BY the abortion lobby. Colorado’s Democratic Party secretary of state, before issuing a press release calling for a boycott of Alabama, ran her release past Planned Parenthood for approval.

This isn’t new. Back in the 2011 budget battle, Democrats gave into Republican demands for spending cuts & federally funded school vouchers - and the ONLY thing they asked for in return was continued subsidies for Planned Parenthood.

It’s nationwide. Not a single Democratic presidential candidate has criticized the New York state law legalizing abortion right up to the moment of birth, which is infanticide. None of them could bring themselves to criticize the words of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, defending post-birth “abortions,” that is, the killing of babies after they are born. The party unanimously opposed a bill requiring medical care for babies that survive abortions.

Democrats say a lot of things (almost anything, in fact) and claim to stand for a lot of things - but ultimately, it's all about ONE ISSUE, and that issue is ABORTION. It's why they hate Trump so much - BOTH of his U.S. Supreme Court appointees are pro-life!

The modern Democratic Party is the political arm of the abortion industry. So much for standing up for the little guy.

Nope.

Even if that were true, it was still no excuse to refuse to even allow a vote on him. If they had voted him down, that would be a different story. But they wouldn't even let the nomination to the floor. So yes, I think it's more than fair to say it was stolen.

Planned Parenthood only spends 3% of its budget on abortion services. The rest goes for counseling, screenings, and health care that millions of women otherwise couldn't afford. Not to mention birth control, which, you know, greatly reduces the risk of abortion happening in the first place. But it's ever so much easier to whine about abortion, isn't it?

Dumpington said:

Click to expand...

That's because your characterization isn't even close to being accurate. As usual. The NY law permits abortion at any time when necessary to protect a woman's life or health, and it removed medically unnecessary regulations that required a doctor to be present (and whose real intent was to make it harder to get an abortion in rural areas where doctors are relatively rare). In no way, shape or form does it allow a woman to suddenly change her mind eight months in and abort a viable fetus. There's no need to ban that, because there is absolutely no evidence that is has ever happened.

Wouldn't it be AWESOME if Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford opened the Democratic Party's 2020 national convention speaking (in that little girl's voice of hers) about how Brett Kavanaugh attacked her in the mid-1980's, and while she was talking former Vice President Joe Biden came up quietly behind her and smelled her hair?

And then Hollywood actor Jussie Smollett and Virginia's Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax could both join her on stage and talk about why black men need to CONTINUE supporting the Democratic Party to stop all of the racist hate crimes & sexual assaults? That would be an incredibly moving event, with CNN devoting an entire day to re-broadcasting it over & over for the American people to digest!

(regarding Sandra Fluke): "She was a student at Georgetown, so she didn't have to go to Washington - she already lived there..."

And the House Democrats had nothing better to do than listen to a college student complain to them about her contraceptives expenses? I guess at Georgetown studying is optional, right?

There are transgendered guys right now trying out for women's athletics teams and WINNING championships in sports like tennis, track & field, basketball, etc. etc. etc. - and in the interests of political correctness they're getting away with it! Do you even CARE about fairness in women's athletics, YDB95, or it that all one big joke with you? If the liberals have their way, soon we'll get rid of gender-specific teams altogether, and there won't even be a girls' team and a boys' team at every school - just ONE team open to both sexes, and we won't see anymore girls on the basketball court or track teams. And the left will be happy!

[about drag queens at elementary schools): "We want people to feel free to be true to their own selves, provided they don't hurt anyone. Again, what do you care?"

I'd seriously LOVE to see the Democratic Party open its 2020 National Convention with a cast of drag queens singing our national anthem, while former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick could be shown kneeling down off stage in protest against police violence! I think we can BOTH agree that such a performance would be AWESOME! And nobody would be hurt (except perhaps, for your Democratic Party's polling numbers!)

"My in laws live in one of those countries, and no one has ever mistreated them over their Catholic faith in any way."

You clearly WANT to believe that, and I sincerely hope that your relatives remain unharmed. But I'm sure that there were people with Jewish relatives living in Nazi Germany in the mid-1930's who insisted that they weren't being mistreated, either. Thousands of American workers re-located to the Soviet Union during the Great Depression because they were promised jobs, but hardly ANY of them were still alive by the 1940's after undergoing Stalin's murderous purges. It's not wise to keep your head in the lion's jaws for any prolonged length of time.

Planned Parenthood shouldn't receive so much as a DIME of taxpayer dollars if what you say is true. But the Democratic Party insists that we give them millions which are then returned to the Democratic Party to fund pro-abortion candidates. It's a racket!

"So, adding anti-Semitism to your sexism, racism, transphobia, Islamophobia and xenophobia. Wow."

Are you SERIOUSLY calling George Soros pro-Jewish? Are you SERIOUSLY going to say that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a NAZI? Do you now believe that the Islamic religion is PRO-JEWISH? Where do you even FIND such silliness to repeat?

Unacceptable Requirements

Rape the woman, or we, The All Powerful Republicans, will not allow you
to give her a medical abortion.

Misinformation, Scare Tactics, and Deliberate Delay-

Mandatory delay and biased counseling laws


On May 20, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services notified
Planned Parenthood of three issues that could impact license renewal, according
to documents reviewed by CBS News and provided by Planned Parenthood.

On May 22, Planned Parenthood said it would address two of them: adjusting
who at the clinic provided the state-mandated counseling and adding an
additional pelvic exam for abortion patients.

Nobody Expects The American Inquisition

"Turn your doctors names, over to us, so that we may perform interogations."

"We want to know who we will be sending to prison, for performing abortions."

Priced Out of the Market

Abortion clinics were required to convert into mini-hospitals,
that had better equiptment than the local Christian hospital.

The Christian hospitals rejected requests from abortion clinics.


Even before the latest legislation, Missouri already had some of the most
restrictive abortion regulations in the nation, including a requirement that
doctors performing abortions have partnerships with nearby hospitals.

A Planned Parenthood clinic in Columbia, Mo., stopped performing
the procedure in October 2018, after it was unable to fulfill a state
requirement that doctors performing the procedure have admitting
privileges at a hospital within about 15 minutes of the clinic.

Missouri Legislated Abortion Clinics Out of Existence

May 28, 2019

The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be
shut down this week, effectively ending legal abortion in the state.

In a statement to be released later Tuesday, Planned Parenthood said
Missouri's health department is "refusing to renew" its annual license
to provide abortion in the state. If the license is not renewed by May 31,
Missouri would become the first state without a functioning abortion
clinic since 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided.

Missouri would be losing its last clinic as a result
of state regulations, not a new law.

In 2008, Missouri had 5 abortion clinics.

"This a chilling warning for all of us that we are in a public health crisis,"
said Dr. Wen in an email to CBS News.

"Today it's Missouri, tomorrow it could be all of America."


https://www.cbsnews.com/news/planne...=68192012&ftag=CNM-00-10aab8d&linkId=68192110

Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, signed a bill Friday
banning abortions on or beyond the eighth week of
pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Under the Missouri law that comes into force Aug. 28,
doctors who violate the eight-week cutoff could face
five to 15 years in prison.

"Missouri has "illegally weaponized the licensing process."



"This is a world we haven't seen in nearly half a century."


- Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America

Unlike Alabama's near-total abortion ban, lawmakers who helped draft the Missouri
bill say it's meant to withstand court challenges instead of spark them.

If the eight-week ban is struck down, the bill includes a ladder of less-restrictive
time limits at 14, 18 or 20 weeks.

bodysong writes: "Notorious Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg got it right."

I'm guessing that "Notorious Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg" will be the NEXT U.S. Supreme Court justice to call it quits, bodysong - and when that happens President Trump will once again be called upon to name a replacement pick.

Last summer, the senate Democrats overplayed their hand in trying to halt the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh - and in the end, all they got for their troubles was an INCREASE of two senate Republican seats following the 2018 elections. In addition to Democratic Party senate incumbents LOSING their seats in Florida, Missouri, & North Dakota (replaced by pro-life Republicans), anti-Trump "RINO" Republican senators McCain, Flake, & Corker died or retired, replaced by pro-Trump senators!

All of this is going to make it so much easier for the president to get justice Ruth's replacement speedily confirmed before the 2020 presidential elections (assuming that she leaves before then!)

"Today it's Missouri, tomorrow it could be all of America."

The Democratic Party has sold its collective soul to the abortion-providers in America. THIS is why that party continues to grow weaker and more ineffective, bodysong.

Before the Obama presidency, the science of biology recognized only TWO genders (male & female) - today's political-progressives recognize 63 different genders, including: Androgine Heterosexual Woman, Masculine Homosexual Andromale, Feminine Male-Attracted Hermaphrofemale, Androgine Male-Attracted Androdite, Masculine Bisexual Hermaphrofemale, & Androgine Bisexual Hermaphrofemale! (I'm 100% serious - these are ALL REAL!)

The Democratic Party's liberals have ALSO invented new words like: "Trans-racialism" with which to label those people's beliefs who clearly see how ridiculous all of this has become! THIS is exactly why Donald Trump won in 2016!

If your point is that transphobes voted for Trump, you'll get no argument from me. Republicans have been winning by winking at bigotry for decades.

You do bring up a difficult issue, but that's no excuse for forcing transsexuals to remain in a body that isn't really theirs. Besides, it's not always an advantage: being taller helps in basketball, but not in gymnastics for example.

"My in laws live in one of those countries, and no one has ever mistreated them over their Catholic faith in any way."

You clearly WANT to believe that, and I sincerely hope that your relatives remain unharmed. But I'm sure that there were people with Jewish relatives living in Nazi Germany in the mid-1930's who insisted that they weren't being mistreated, either. Thousands of American workers re-located to the Soviet Union during the Great Depression because they were promised jobs, but hardly ANY of them were still alive by the 1940's after undergoing Stalin's murderous purges. It's not wise to keep your head in the lion's jaws for any prolonged length of time.

"They spend 3% of their budget on abortion, that's it."

Planned Parenthood shouldn't receive so much as a DIME of taxpayer dollars if what you say is true. But the Democratic Party insists that we give them millions which are then returned to the Democratic Party to fund pro-abortion candidates. It's a racket!

Click to expand...

Planned Parenthood provides health care, counseling, contraception and - if the woman wants one - abortions. I guess you could call that a racket if you want, but the point here is - or was - that you vastly overstated the share of their budget that goes to abortions.

Besides, we all have something our tax dollars go to that we don't like. (I could do without mine going to corporate welfare, for example.) If you hate government that much, move to Somalia.

He does know that. I've informed him of it now at least a dozen times. Dump's problem is that he hates Jews, blacks, gays, women, and really anyone else who isn't white or who Trump tells him to hate.

If we discovered that Adolf Hitler was Jewish, and I called Hitler a monster, would THAT make me anti-semitic? The nation of Israel most certainly IS Jewish, but liberal Democrats (and that party's Muslim congresswomen) regularly trash Israel, but that's OK?

First of all, Plessy did not "legalize" segregation; it already was legal. Plessy validated that legality, and yes, that was wrong. In no way does that mean any other Supreme Court case was necessarily wrong. Apples and oranges.

But that's got nothing to do with the point I was making here. You have whined repeatedly that the Democrats wouldn't nominate an anti-choicer, and you're most likely correct about that. But the Republicans are no more likely to nominate a pro-choicer, nor would anyone expect them to.

If a Democrat (like that Illinois congressman) doesn't support ABORTION then his (or her) party will abandon them. You CAN'T be a pro-life Democrat anymore! The ONLY Christians still respected by Democrats are BLACK Christians, although they're all forced to remain silent on those issues where their Christian beliefs may stray from the party line. The modern Democratic Party has increasingly embraced socialism; ALL Democrats have to speak positively of the growing transgendered movement; ALL Democrats have to respect & admire Islam; and ALL Democrats have to oppose border security!

"And I certainly want them to associate Mr. I-Like-Beer with Twitler."

I understand what you're saying, Ruben. You've got nothing to add to this discussion and so you call me "stupid" instead. I've stated nothing that wasn't absolutely true, and so you're going to respond as if we were both still in the third-grade.

Do you support abortion, atheism, respect-for-Islam, socialism, transgendered men competing in women's sports, and open borders? - or DON'T you? If you answered "no" to any one of those above six issues, the Democratic Party will accuse you of being a racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic white nationalist!

A serious question, Ruben - if we STOPPED funding Planned Parenthood unless they stopped performing abortions, would you be fine with that? I mean, if 97% of what PP does has absolutely NOTHING to do with abortion services, would that be acceptable to you?

Or, how about this: if Planned Parenthood voluntarily STOPPED performing abortions, do you honestly believe that the modern Democratic Party would want to continue giving that organization taxpayer-funding?

YDB95 writes: "... we don't want a return to the days of back-alley abortions..."

Yeah, if we're going to legalize infanticide, I suppose it should be done in a clean & sterile environment, right? The ancient Spartans left weak & sickly newborns out on the mountainside so that they'd die of natural causes via abandonment to the elements & wild animals. But Planned Parenthood would prefer that an abortion doctor be called in instead!

"The following makes it pretty clear that you don't, or at least that you're choosing to turn a blind eye to it."

I just saw this story in the news... a transgendered guy named Cece Telfer from Franklin Pierce University won the women's 400-meter hurdles title at the NCAA Division II Track & Field championships held last week at Javelina Stadium in Kingsville, Texas! As a male track star (named Craig Telfer) he was only so-so, but as a FEMALE he's winning championships & breaking records! I just feel sorry for all of those girls who have trained all of their lives for this, only to lose to a guy!

"That's not how pay equity or transsexualism work. And the only person I've ever heard say any such thing is you."

So... if Craig Telfer was a guy cut by the Chicago Bulls basketball team, who suddenly discovered that he could make a million dollars playing for the WNBA's Chicago Sky under the name Cece Telfer, you don't think he'd do it? And WHY NOT?

"First of all, you know damn well I wasn't talking about prostitution."

No, you weren't - but how is it any different? A woman should have the right to do ANYTHING with her own body without men making laws to prevent it, right? So aren't you arguing that prostitution in this country should also be legal?

"But we certainly would still care about affordable screenings, counseling, birth control, etc. Which you obviously do not."

Planned Parenthood could CONTINUE doing ALL of those things without performing abortions - but then the Democratic Party would no longer be interested in giving them federal tax-payer dollars, would they?

RubenR writes: "You see, that's what it means to think for yourself; I'm free to have my own opinion, something you'll probably never try. Benefit is, I don't have to be ashamed of myself, and I can change my opinion when that seems to make sense."

And I applaud you for it, Ruben! You admit that you're a liberal (Trump-hating) Democrat, but then you draw the line at supporting transgendered guys competing in women's sports. I agree with you, but then I'm not the guy trying to pretend to support the Obama legacy of 63 different genders!

"Just curious, why did you ignore the other answers I gave?"

I asked you SIX questions about what it takes to be a Democrat today, and you answered all six. Sadly, you got one wrong, which is enough to make you vulnerable to charges of "transphobia" from the politically-progressive far left!

As for your NO LONGER supporting Planned Parenthood if they stopped performing abortions, that's NEVER going to happen as Planned Parenthood is synonymous with ABORTIONS, and everybody knows that! It's just a liberal smokescreen to pretend that they seriously care about anything else!

RubenR writes: "I've never said I draw the line at supporting transgenders in competing in the correct class.... it is a difficult discussion"

Nonsense, Ruben - there's NOTHING difficult about it, unless you're trying to stay in good with the politically-progressive views of the modern Democratic Party that biological science is FLAWED - and that, there are, in fact, some 63 different genders!

There's a guy at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire named Craig Telfer who used to compete on the men's track & field team, where he was good but nothing outstanding... UNTIL he changed his name to Cece Telfer, and started competing as a WOMAN! Now he's a CHAMPION, Ruben! Last week, Cece defeated seven REAL women at the NCAA Division II Track & Field Championship, easily winning the 400-meter hurdles title with a first-place time of 57.53-seconds! Not a winning time for GUYS, but good enough for him to take home a gold medal in women's NCAA track!

CeCe Telfer is FAST…for a girl. Like, really fast. For a girl. CeCe’s also really muscular. For a girl. With a lot of testosterone. For a girl. CeCe has a very substantial penis. For a girl. I'll bet that he got a congratulatory message from Barack & Michelle Obama!

"You seem to be fixed on abortion; why?"

I don't know... WHY were people fixed on the Holocaust in 1946? True, there had been millions of people murdered, but holding the Nuremberg Trials was never going to bring any of them back to life, right? Besides, the Nazis had come up with a phrase - "The Final Solution" - which sounded respectable, just like the pro-abortion people prefer being called "pro-choice!" But under any name it's STILL incredibly horrific!

RudenR writes: "It is difficult when you are willing to think about it; it is not difficult when you are not open for putting yourself in the minds of others."

Once again you're AVOIDING the issue, Ruben. You seriously want the politically-progressive left to continue liking & respecting you, and so you've got no choice but to pretend that it's no big deal for male athletes to win gold medals competing against the girls. You'd feel otherwise if you had a daughter who worked hard her whole life to compete for a championship in track & field, basketball, tennis, cross-country, or ANY kind of women's athletics competition, but was then soundly defeated by a bigger, stronger, transgendered guy!

"During the Holocaust, people were being killed. not clumps of cells without functional brains."

You mean "clumps of cells" with a beating heart, don't you? And have you SERIOUSLY not heard about those legislative measures in states like New York - or Virginia's Democratic Party governor Northam's efforts to allow abortion clinics to terminate the lives of newly-delivered babies?

"What is your opinion about anti-conception? Menstruation is murder?"

We're talking about a living baby with a beating heart, Ruben. I'm sure the Nazis made jokes about Jews not being human before they gassed them. Planned Parenthood would feel right at home operating Auschwitz.

RubenR writes: "You don't know me."

No Ruben, I don't know you.

But I DO know several things about you - like how you consider yourself to be a liberal-progressive Democrat in good standing, which means that you WANT to qualify in all six of those criteria that I listed as things that are essential if you want to be accepted by that party as one of their own!

And for that reason you will NEVER openly speak out against guys claiming to be women as they compete in women's athletics competitions, even though you KNOW deep down that it's a travesty! But, as a liberal Democrat, you will always keep that to yourself (until your party formally abandons that absurd nonsense!)

"There is no heart in that clump of cells that I'm talking about. A heart is an organ, nothing more, nothing less..."

A heart is NOT a human being - but an unborn baby with a heart, a brain, and human body parts IS a human life, and not something to be destroyed by Planned Parenthood so long as they can then market those parts to the highest bidder!

"...is someone with an artificial heart no longer human?"

If we were in Nazi Germany in the early 1940's, and you asked that same question, they would argue that if the person with the articial heart was a Jew, then no, that person was not human and could be killed! And they would then praise Planned Parenthood for disposing of so many "unwanted mouths!"

"We're not talking about babies, we're talking about a single cell vs a clump of cells."

EVERY living baby is a "clump of cells," Ruben, as are you! But if, like the Nazis, you are able to label them as unhuman, then you can legally murder them! And yes, Planned Parenthood would have been welcomed in Auschwitz, where the taking of human life was celebrated!
