Anyway, like I said, I work with them a lot, they have nothing against abstinence, just education that excludes things other than abstinence.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]^{[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]} 1200:5106, 2 April 2007 (EDT) And btw, to repost the link above, I really think that should clear things up, but what do I know...http://plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control/continuous-abstinence.htm [[User:palmd001|PalMD]]^{[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]} 12:53, 2 April 2007 (EDT) And, BTW, I think it is reasonable to debate the racism issue, but it is not a "done deal". Poor minority communities have less access to health care in general, and PP does provide needed services. I do not think their primary motivation is racist, however, it is an interesting point to discuss.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]^{[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]} 12:58, 2 April 2007 (EDT) :What I would like to see is a correlation being drawn. It is not enough to say "African-American communities have more Planned Parenthood operations, thus Planned Parenthood is trying to exterminate African-Americans." If I were to write that in a research essay, I think my stats professor would shoot me.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 16:29, 2 April 2007 (EDT) == aborted babies pic source - I found substitute links.

I really appreciate that!--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 16:47, 2 April 2007 (EDT) == Miscellaneous Reply == Thanks for the good discussion above. I would like to respond to a few points here: * It's true, of course, that Planned Parenthood is a "non-profit" business so use of the word "profit" is problematic. But it is a huge business and the biggest provider of abortions in the United States. It makes a large excess of revenue over expenses, which we ordinarily call "profit". It is not a charity in the same sense as, for example, a church. Those "profits" of Planned Parenthood accrue to the benefit of its employees, its consultants, its allies and its doctors. * Only a small percentage of Planned Parenthood's services provide needed medical care to poor communities. * Planned Parenthood does target minority areas with advertisements for abortion that might be considered to be deceptive. I won't say that these advertisements are racist in intent, but they do have a disparate racial effect. * Virtually every woman who has an abortion is worse off in terms of her health. Childbirth is good for the health of the mother, and no one disputes that. Abortion has been linked to breast cancer (nearly every study has found a link, see [[abortion]]) and also to devastating premature birth (see also [[abortion]]). * Due in large part to Planned Parenthood's aggressive marketing in minority communities, African Americans have three times the abortion rate of whites, and three times the rate of premature births and associated devastating injuries. (I'm not sure how the breast cancer rate compares between African American and white women, but maybe someone else knows this.) I'm not asking for specific changes to the content page, but it seems to me a skeptical look at what Planned Parenthood really does to make its millions of dollars is appropriate. Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:09, 2 April 2007 (EDT) :: Andy, for the record, on the "abortion & cancer" stuff, the stats are correlated but causation is not implied, and any credible scientist would find that. I bet people who read this site are more likely than a carefully selected and retooled focus group to get breast cancer, too. Second, you should tell the mothers who died throughout history in childbirth that it's "good" for their health. Third, even if it is better for the health of the mother, it's not your call to force, in a paternalistic manner that most conservatives are opposed to, health decisions down their throat. Fourth, I think your use of "disparate impact" and "intent" rhetoric is insulting to constitutional law and misleading. However, let's jump on it to say that disparate impact never proves intent in modern constitutional law (cf. ''McClesky''), so you should remove any language from the article that insinuates a discriminatory intent. Fifth, I thank God every day that I do not live in an America controlled by people like you. No offense intended, but this country is better for it.-'''<font color="#007FFF">Ames</font><font color="#FF0000">G</font>'''_{[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!]} 18:37, 2 April 2007 21 November 2017 (EDTEST)
