well at least there will not be any doubt about this being a political decision random thoughts Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 06:24:14 PM
I do find it hard to miss the irony that lawmakers put heavy pressure on a private organization to make a particular decision because they felt the original decision may have been politically motivated. That really only makes sense if their goal was to ensure the group was making a politically motivated decision.

SGK managed to get the worst of both worlds with this. They have managed to piss off both sides and take what was a small connection to PP and make it a very public. The pro-choicers are pissed at the for the first decision and now the pro-lifers are going to be really pissed. When it is all said and done they are right back with they started with the only thing they accomplished was to drag their breast cancer charity into the abortion debate. They really screwed the pooch on this this one.

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 1501 Views
I agree. - 02/02/2012 05:20:17 PM 1386 Views
I can understand it though. - 02/02/2012 05:45:55 PM 1469 Views
I can too, it just isn't for me. - 02/02/2012 05:58:33 PM 1397 Views
Actually, there are longer-acting forms of birth control than the pill. - 03/02/2012 12:37:42 AM 1381 Views
I do think that preventing abortions is their primary goal. - 03/02/2012 01:08:05 AM 1370 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 1392 Views
No, your source, in which there is very little that is objective, did that for me. - 11/02/2012 02:59:45 AM 1411 Views
I see you have continued to provide no factual arguments. - 14/02/2012 04:53:28 AM 1716 Views
I presented factual rebuttals. - 19/02/2012 01:56:45 AM 1458 Views

Well, yes. - 04/02/2012 11:14:47 PM 1480 Views
A silent majority may as well not exist, if it has no tangible effects. - 05/02/2012 12:54:34 AM 1354 Views
You ignoring it is not the same thing as it having no tangible effect. - 05/02/2012 02:11:36 AM 1470 Views
Ignoring what? You haven't shown me anything solid. - 05/02/2012 05:25:23 AM 1351 Views

Do you see a way Komen could have avoided pissing off one side? - 02/02/2012 06:55:36 PM 1355 Views
No, I don't. I don't believe I said that? - 02/02/2012 07:53:50 PM 1294 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 1476 Views
