Candidate for Jackson Jr's Seat Declares War on NRA

[Whirlaway]

Age old ploy; when your liberal policies produces obvious failures; make the "straw-man argument" to deflect from the dysfunction in your own house.

Chicago is under siege; decades of failed liberal government combined with dysfunctional families raising dysfunctional children.......and the only solution the left can offer is to blame the NRA (or Whitey).

So?

In your all consuming quest for relavancy, I think you have now reached the point where the return of your output is inversely impacting your desired result.

It's OK, you can have a few hours or days to fumble through a dictionary and attempt to understand the previous sentence.

So did they decide which crook will replace the crook that got caught?

[WTF]

And the right continues it's assualt on Planned Parenthood...

What is your point Whirly? That each side tries to make the other do shit they don't want to do?

[I B Hankering]

"Planned Parenthood" is an oxymoron: abortions prevent "parenthood".

[Whirlaway]

WTF sets up another phony argument. The right is opposed to public funding of PP and their abortion mill.

The NRA is privately supported...big difference !

And the NRA has nothing to do with corrupt city government, out of wedlock births, kids having kids, black on black crime rates, single parent households, and all the other ills that define the broken Chicago system and black community...that is the problem that this candidate should be attacking, not the NRA.

Shit, she should be bitching about Obama's chronic high unemployment rate in her community.....

[WTF]

As you can see in the chart atop this post, abortion services account for about 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities. That’s less than cancer screening and prevention (16 percent), STD testing for both men and women (35 percent), and contraception (also 35 percent). About 80 percent of Planned Parenthood’s users are over age 20, and 75 percent have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty line. Planned Parenthood itself estimates it prevents more than 620,000 unintended pregnancies each year, and 220,000 abortions. It’s also worth noting that federal law already forbids Planned Parenthood from using the funds it receives from the government for abortions.
So though the fight over Planned Parenthood might be about abortion, Planned Parenthood itself isn’t about abortion. It’s primarily about contraception and reproductive health. And if Planned Parenthood loses funding, what will mainly happen is that cancer screenings and contraception and STD testing will become less available to poorer people. Folks with more money, of course, have many other ways to receive all these services, and tend to get them elsewhere already.
The fight also isn’t about cutting spending. The services Planned Parenthood provides save the federal government a lot of money. It’s somewhat cold to put it in these terms, but taxpayers end up bearing a lot of the expense for unintended pregnancies among people without the means to care for their children. The same goes for preventable cancers and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. You can find a lot more information about Planned Parenthood and its services here.

Three percent or thereabout of PP's business is abortions. The balance is female reproductive health care and administering birth control. It is a wonderful organization that I give money to on a regular basis.

[Whirlaway]

At WTF:

Blah, blah, blah.......................

Planned Parenthood performed 334,000 abortions in 2011. That is one abortion every 12 seconds............and they got $524 million in taxpayer funding...

I think the NRA got $0. And the NRA doesn't directly kill anyone !

Your NRA comparison is a farce !

[Guest050715-1]

Neither does Planned Parenthood. In fact they are champions of women's reproductive health care.

[JD Barleycorn]

Lets accept for the moment that 3% is correct but the real number to know is how many of those PP abortions are what percentage of ALL abortions in the United States. Want to guess about 80%? How about you WTF?

Never forget PP is poisoned fruit from the racist Margaret Sanger tree. No real good can come from it.

Also the title is wrong. It should have said DEMOCRATIC candidate for Jackson Jr.'s seat declares war on the NRA (Americans oldest civil rights organization).

[Guest050715-1]

There is nothing racist about Planed Parenthood. Don't be absurd.

[JD Barleycorn]

The ROOTS of Planned Parenthood are incredibly racist. Read the Pivot of Civilization by Margaret Sanger. It should be right up there with Mein Kampf. She hoped to eliminate "undesirables" through abortion. Particularly blacks would be targeted through their churches and under the guise of civil rights.

[Guest050715-1]

Assuming what you say is true: so what! It's a valuable institution providing a valuable service to a demographic that is over didty percent of the population.

[Seedy]

I think the nra should donate a gun to everyone in that district. After a few months they won't need to elect anyone. No one will be left. Problem solved.
