did you notice I called tactic disgusting? That doesn't mean it isn't effective Ray Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 12:45:10 AM
As I noted in an earlier reply I would personally be more inclined to give money to PP than I would RFTC because I think they play an important role and have a more real world impact. Yes I am being detached and that is intentional. Do I think it is a shitty situation? yes I do. I even think that amazingly Joel may have a point and the personal politics of some of the leadership may be playing a role in this but I also think in the end distancing themselves from PP is in the best long term interest RFTC. That opinion doesn't reflect my attitude on the worthiness of either group I am simply talking math. I find it helps to stay detached for that sort of thing. I might agree with the argument that RFTC should have taken a moral stand on the issue but I think it would be risky for them and I think it is reasonable to do what they can to not be publicly attached to PP.

I do care about the issue of breast cancer though, we have been told my daughter should get early screening because my aunt and fist cousin both dies of breast cancer. My cousin was only 33 when she died and she left three kids and a clueless husband behind when she did. My father and both his siblings had cancer so rest assured my detachment is forced. Keep in mind I am a conservative male discussing women's reproductive health issues will liberal females. There really is no sane way to that but detached might at least let me keep my head attached.

The most annoying part is in the sixth paragraph- abortions are only a small part of their thing - 02/02/2012 05:08:07 PM 1004 Views
I agree. - 02/02/2012 05:20:17 PM 942 Views
I can understand it though. - 02/02/2012 05:45:55 PM 992 Views
I can too, it just isn't for me. - 02/02/2012 05:58:33 PM 914 Views
Actually, there are longer-acting forms of birth control than the pill. - 03/02/2012 12:37:42 AM 929 Views
I do think that preventing abortions is their primary goal. - 03/02/2012 01:08:05 AM 887 Views

You're taking an issue of objective facts and treating it like a day of playground gossip. - 09/02/2012 03:47:06 AM 916 Views
No, your source, in which there is very little that is objective, did that for me. - 11/02/2012 02:59:45 AM 939 Views
I see you have continued to provide no factual arguments. - 14/02/2012 04:53:28 AM 1157 Views
I presented factual rebuttals. - 19/02/2012 01:56:45 AM 959 Views
You continue to miss the point. - 23/02/2012 10:22:24 PM 1048 Views
Well, yes. - 04/02/2012 11:14:47 PM 971 Views
A silent majority may as well not exist, if it has no tangible effects. - 05/02/2012 12:54:34 AM 912 Views
You ignoring it is not the same thing as it having no tangible effect. - 05/02/2012 02:11:36 AM 1007 Views
Ignoring what? You haven't shown me anything solid. - 05/02/2012 05:25:23 AM 907 Views

Right - 02/02/2012 06:24:14 PM 958 Views
Do you see a way Komen could have avoided pissing off one side? - 02/02/2012 06:55:36 PM 929 Views
No, I don't. I don't believe I said that? - 02/02/2012 07:53:50 PM 834 Views
You didn't; I inferred it from the way you phrased that ("if she HAS to..."). Sorry. - 02/02/2012 08:06:11 PM 910 Views
I know I'm not always clear. - 02/02/2012 08:32:47 PM 915 Views
