If most Americans heard about these cases, they’d recognize that the PP workers are trying their best to solve difficult moral problems in an imperfect world. They may disagree with the PP worker’s decisions, but they wouldn’t attribute their actions to malice or greed. It’s frankly silly to claim that the PP workers just wanted their clinics to make an extra buck.

You can’t be serious.

If more Americans heard about these cases, they’d be livid. Sounds like you can’t tell the difference between “difficult moral problems in an imperfect world” and the commission of a crime.

With your remarks, you just sanctioned sexual abuse of a minor.

The majority of Americans voted for Obama. They obviously didn’t care about this issue which seem to fascinate right wing blogs on a daily basis. Give it a rest and focus on our country going bankrupt.

This is an example of another type of bankruptcy that our country is suffering from. It’s no less important than the economy.

Or maybe government-funded obstruction of justice in favor of sexual abuse of minors is okay with you?

Sorry, but this makes no sense to me.

…I am bored with this issue. The majority of Americans are bored with it. The only people interested are right wing blogs.

Except that you’re not, Chekote. Whenever an abortion thread gets posted, there you are, all day long, telling us that abortion isn’t immoral, that we should be worrying about more important things (as you estimate them, of course), spouting party line canards (we don’t care about children after they’re born) that are patently purulent.

This is no paid-by-the-word KosKid, folks, this is psychopathology on display.

Chekote, no amount of blog-commenting is going to change our minds that abortion is evil. And furthermore, it’s not going to change your mind either.

It’s obvious that down in your heart you know the truth too. It’s your refusal to deal consciously with that, that drives you to continually try to apologize for abortion and for PP.

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 7:12 PM

The same. Cheating is cheating, rape is rape, murder is murder.

So much for “beyond reasonable doubt”. You got a heavily edited video and you have already convicted everybody. I am sure your are one of those Rule of Law people too.

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 4:21 PM

I haven’t “convicted” anybody. That’s for the courts to decide. I do have eyes and a brain, and when there is video evidence (even if “heavily edited”) from multiple clinics in multiple states demonstrates a similar practice, I possess the logical faculties to determine that this is policy (official or unofficial).

At this point, the evidence is pretty overwhelming that PP is training or allowing its employees to break reporting laws. It’s up to prosecutors to prove this in a court of law, but PP has a need to prove this isn’t their policy in the court of public opinion.

You spouse cheats on you with a stranger vs. your spouse cheating on you with your best friend. Which is the biggest betrayal? Or we you feel the same since both situation involved adultery?

Except public school teachers don’t prented to do God’s work. Tiny difference.

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 4:19 PM

No the public school teachers who molest children are pretending to work for the government. Im not a christian here buddy.Whats your point. Are you saying the rapist priests are worse than the rapist school teachers? Dont bet on it. The betrayal of trust is the same, no matter who you purport your god to be.

Well he seems to want to be chummy with Islamic rulers, who have no problem marrying off 8 year old girls.

It isn’t enough for these monsters to salivate, at the taking of an innocent human life. No! They have to go even further, and exploit the underaged mother. How sick does one have to be, before people start waking up to this,and the fact that we as tax payers, are being forced to help pay for this?!?!?!?!

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 3:56 PM

Heck, just kill them all; it stops their suffering.

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 2:22 PM

So, everyone can choose which law they should obey?

could recite a practically infinite list of Christian charities which have built orphanages, sent ministry teams to provide healthcare, donated funds to provide meals to impoverished children, and also highlight the cases of children who have been adopted into loving homes.

Fine. But are there still kids suffering? How about in Darfur? Are there still kids suffering? Why not fully take care of every born child? I mean this is about the children.

Chekote on April 20, 2009 at 3:56 PM

That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read. What’s upsetting is that it’s not the first time I’ve heard the same sentiment. Why not kill ‘em all until the world is a paradise? One cannot reason with a person who eschews reason.
That’s one of the biggest problems we have to deal with. We cannot hold discussion with those who have rejected even the most fundamental principles concerning human life.

Give it a rest and focus on our country going bankrupt.

Worry about the money, it’s Soooo much more important than the babies.

Siddhartha Vicious on April 20, 2009 at 3:42 PM

See, but they both work out. Reduce the size of the future population, and that means that fewer people will be saddled with the unprecedented debt that BiggieO is handing off to future generations to deal with.

See what I did there? It’s called Liberal Logic. It’s the same premise as “Don’t you understand that the State of Lincoln will receive $50 billion dollars…?”. Forget how that money is raised, or from where…just focus on the positive!

Its foolish mind has been darkened. There is no need to communicate with those who are filled with hate and love death. It cannot be honest or coherent.
