… go out and drum up those abortions!
This director said “no thanks” and quit.
According to Johnson, the non-profit was struggling under the weight of a tough economy, and changing it’s business model from one that pushed prevention, to one that focused on abortion.“It seemed like maybe that’s not what a lot of people were believing any more because that’s not where the money was. The money wasn’t in family planning, the money wasn’t in prevention, the money was in abortion and so I had a problem with that,” said Johnson.
Johnson said she was told to bring in more women who wanted abortions …
Isn’t that special? Gives a clearer view on why PP is so adament on the “Freedom of Choice Act” and lobbying schools to implement their sex-ed agenda.

I dated the director of a planned parenthood clinic (yeah yeah, lets just say I couldn’t take her home to mom). They had “abortion Fridays.” Recently, she was let go from the clinic at which she was director because Planned Parenthood was pushing a new “business model” ie push more abortions. My understanding is abortions were indeed the most profitable part of the clinic.

It has always been about the profits for PP and abortions (especially when they are government funded.) that’s the dirty little “secret” that, if you bring it up in mixed company, gets shouted down under a barrage of “misogynist” or “back alleys with a coat hanger” or some such.
These organizations that manage to reserve a permanent slot on the government teat morph from do-gooder activists to capitalist running dogs protecting their own jobs just as quickly as any other commissar.

Pretty shabby piece of journalism that you link. There is no follow up to fid out if, in fact, PP had made this policy decision about promoting abortion as a business move. It sounds pretty sketchy, to say the least. Do you think America would be a better place without PP?

A point of distinction here, BJT - technically, PP is “non-profit” which is an easy way for its supporters to dissemble - Marcotte does it quite a bit “haha, PP is non-profit, fundies and therefore no one makes money on abortions.”
The important point is that non-profit does not mean “no income,” it merely means that the income generated by the entity’s activities cannot be distributed to one or a group of shareholders or individuals (private inurement prohibition). (Many public hospitals that have millions in income are still technically “non-profit”) What the income from abortions does do is fund the careers of its staff and directors who (you might have guessed) devote much of their free time to political activism on behalf of pro-abortion policies and candidates, and funds “educational activities” of the organization. (i.e. propagandizing your children)
Also, I think most local PPs are organized with one c(3) and one c(4) layered one onto the other. One performs the abortions and does what is (liberally interpreted) permitted of a c(3), while the c(4) can lobby for legislation and participate in elections.

Point taken, Alec and my bad for not pointing it out.
Those political activities, in addition to lobbying and get out the vote measures for pro-choice candidates, also include media ad buys to promote the pro-choice agenda, which results in business moving PP’s way.
As to KarenW:
Nobody is or has suggested that PP needs to disappear. The fact that they have a director who has resigned because they are pushing a “business model” for increased abortions gives lie to the distinction between contraception and abortion as contraception. Those of us opposed to abortion on demand in any circumstance have as much of a legitimate position as those who refer to fetuses as “parasites” and every bit as disposable as a tampon. Make a reasoned defense of the policy as reported or get out of the way but stop using absolutist arguments portraying a position that no one else has espoused.
Nuance: It’s what’s for dinner!

One could almost make the connection between encouraging thirteen year old girls to become sexually active, income-producing abortions, and a fresh batch of post-abortion PP supporters and single-issue voters for life.
But I’m not a journalist, so what do I know?
Comment by happyfeet on 11/3 @ 9:00 am #
ok that first comment is sick and really not called for and abortion is legal and there’s a legal market for it and I don’t want abortion to be illegal because you know why? People are wicked and stupid whether they have abortions or not and honest to God it’s none of my business. I’d rather the indignated worked much much harder to restore decent adoption services in our little country cause sitting around being aghast and shocked shocked shocked to the core of their shocked and saddened souls is stale stale stale I think.
Markets happen, a wise man said.
Comment by BJTexs on 11/3 @ 9:06 am #
So, feets, it’s OK for a non-profit to actively change their business model to encourage more abortions?
If so, you and I will have to agree to disagree. Abortion as post coital contraception and maximum convenience doesn’t work for me on many levels.

That’s how markets work, BJ. It is what it is. If these PP people are competing for abortions they will be cheaper and safer and more convenient with better hours and lollipops after. The women what have abortions are our neighbors and sisters and moms and co-workers and also some of them are slutty slutty sluts but nevermind them ones cause they still deserve a bit of kindness I think. Also this woman what decided omg I can’t work for Planned Parenthood no mores after EIGHT FUCKING YEARS cause it’s too goshdarned abortiony has to be one of the bigger blinkered retards we’ve encountered recently. She might could be a deranged idiot I think.

I didn’t know it was hyphenated. Love you back and I’m definitely not enthusiastic about abortions it’s just I think people what get abortions deserve the benefit of the doubt that maybe they would be sucky mothers just then. It’s kind of infantilizing to say that x% of them were just suckered by slick ramped-up abortion marketing. Either way, freedom is way more important than morality cause enforced morality is without virtue I think.

That is true. The story suggests to me at least that she doesn’t have a notably strong set of core convictions. Abortion gets people riled up, that’s why NPR and such find it so useful and defining, but it didn’t get this particular hoo riled up until just recently. She might could be overcompensating.
Comment by Alec Leamas on 11/3 @ 9:44 am #
I think that you’re a lot saying the chicken came first here. We’re minting sucky people (including sucky mothers) by eschewing any objective morality (except for fanciful parts about “hate speech” and carbon indulgences) in favor of navel gazing and unenlightened self-interest.
Comment by BJTexs on 11/3 @ 9:47 am #
Enforced morality is called law, feets. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see a sort of “enforced morality” in the absolutist position of PP that abortion should not only be a right and available, but convenient and guilt free. I see an “enforced morality” when teen age girls are convinced that being sexually active is simply the way of nature and, hey, don’t worry because we’ll provide you with all of the contraception you need as well as the fall back on that old scraping if it or the girl screws up. I see an “enforced morality” when the latter is taught in public school sex ed classes. Oh and I see an egregious “enforced morality” when the law says that minors are entitled to “privacy” and can get their convenient abortions without having to tell their parents.
Toe-May-Toe — Toe-Mah-Toe. (Still luv ya, man!)

Benefit of the doubt is all, McGehee. It’s their call for their own reasons. And after they have their abortion you should hug them and encourage them to talk about their feelings.

Point is, people what get abortions aren’t ruined fallen wicked evil women and even if they are they’re still ok by me.

Governments are always about an “enforced morality”. The use of force to impose what can and cannot be done by humans is their purpose in being. What that morality is and how it is selected is what determines the differences between governmental systems.
As I have said before, and will continue to say, Governments govern the affairs of humans. Deciding what a human is, when the come into existence and when that existence ends is basic to having a government. How that decision is arrived at reflects upon what exactly that governmental system is.
The way this was done in our government was the way of a tyranny not the way of a free society. That created the tension over this issue that will continue until it is either redone the way a free society does these decisions or we become the tyranny that this way of deciding is normal to.

I think you start winding the whole mess down by getting the “sex Ed” weirdos away from the chillens, and creating a society where it is sort of commonplace to encourage teenage girls to exercise some kind of discretion in the character and numbers of their sexual partners. There are now both more abortions and more “unplanned” children than before Roe - I think the egg may have indeed come first.
Comment by geoffb on 11/3 @ 10:09 am #
Virtue and non-enforced morality is the place of religion. Even the “religions” of the secular humanist and the atheist. The problem with them is they won’t admit to being religions as to do so imposes limits on their power and they wish for none.

Feets: The first girl I fell in love with had an abortion at seventeen years old. She confessed it to me in my dorm room and it was one of the saddest, most excruciating experiences of my life. I’ll freely confess that the emotional trauma she displayed colored my feelings about abortion from that point on. I am grateful, even though things didn’t work out for us in the long, that had some moments to be there for her and comfort her, not to mention the trust she had in me to tell me something she had not told another living soul.
You are correct that we should comfort those who have been through abortions and that many who choose that path both hurt deeply and carry a large dollop of regret. Politics and morality aside we should never lose our humanity towards our fellow earth travelers over issues.
Comment by sdferr on 11/3 @ 10:19 am #
“Virtue and non-enforced morality is the place of religion.”
We might as well say is “the place of all human beings” or “the place of all human beings in the pre-political position”, at least to the extent that we are going to define all human beings as religious, whether they would define themselves that way or no.

I’ve been there for more than my fair share of these. All I can say is that there is a common theme - and that seems to be that after the fact, it doesn’t sit with their consciences as having simply become “un-pregnant” and having taken care of a “problem,” in the way the advocates talk about it.

That’s my only personal experience, Alec, and I must tell you that the level of emotional trauma was deep. She sobbed on my shoulder for over thirty minutes and I’ve comforted people who have lost loved ones who were less deeply moved.
I think we are playing a dangerous game with young people’s lives when abortion is a convenience and a private one at that. It tends to flow to concurrently with the ever growing lack of personal responsibility we see in society today. I don’t confess to have all of the answers but, in the course of these discussions, I sure would like consideration paid to the emotional and physical costs, both to the individual and to women as a whole, as a result of easy, convenient abortion.

Ever get one where the woman was induced into it by a promise from the guy that he’d “replace” the baby with another one at a later time, after a big white wedding that never actually happened?
I also knew a woman personally who became pregnant by her live-in fiance after having had the first fitting for her fancy wedding dress, and had the problem “taken care of” in order to keep that dress, and to keep her “princess day” just perfect. I don’t think she deserves a hug.

Yes. A natural synthesis of Planned Parenthood absolutists and Polanski apologists. I think many of the “allies” are more interested in getting their paws on the pubescent boys though.
As an observation, I lived in the Republic of Ireland for a time (where abortion was and remains pretty much illegal) and saw none of the dystopian future warned of by the pro-abortion hysterics. Also contrary to rad-fem orthodoxy that restrictive abortion policies are indicative of a misogynist society, the Republic of Ireland has had a female head of government, and without research, I’d venture a guess that it has a significantly lower incidence of rape than the United States as well.
Comment by Andrew the Noisy on 11/3 @ 10:57 am #
Arguing about hugging a woman what gets an abortion is like arguing about reraising the battleships at Pearl Harbor. Yes, we should do it, but it’s kind of irrelevant to the fact that those sailors and marines aren’t coming back.
So it really doesn’t matter if she’s a martyr or a tramp. In any case, the little one is dead and un-recoverable. That’s the issue. There are many ways to fall down on this issue, but making a point of trying to upsell the abortions is as pretty close to pure evil as is possible in this world. It’s death-for-money. Shit, even the arms dealers don’t give much of a crap whether you USE the munitions, so long as you keep buying them.

I read once that the Planned Parenthood front group “Catholics for a Free Choice” publishes materials about holding some kind of quasi-liturgical ceremony after an abortion wherein we celebrate “sending a soul back to God” in what I can only imagine resembles something put on by Wiccans much more than any liturgy or sacrament sanctioned by Rome.

In essence, the sin is similar, as you’re treating a human as a means to an end rather than an end in itself.
The difference is that even a welfare baby has a shot. Not much of one, granted, but that shot is still worth something. So again, the women in each scenario may be indeed lowly, but there’s someone else in the picture, dig?

thor recognizes only two sizes - small and large - determined solely by whether they tickle his uvula or not.

I think the nightstick wielding New Black Panther Party Schutzstaffel are available today, thor. Might want to give them a ring.

Those amateurs don’t have a clue about mau-mau-ing the opposition. They should come to one of my ACORN seminars.

That’s appalling. I just hate it when a few wingers act the way leftists routinely do. I wonder if they’re wearing papier mache?

Go ahead and click the link and see if it says what thor purports that it says.

Aw, are people saying unapproved things, thor? Those big mean guys who are just being mean.
Why, it’s almost as though they have opinions and the right to free assembly!

Of course, whore ignores the MANY studies that show conservatives outgive liberals to charities by wide margins. Google is your friend.

Planned Parenthood is suing Abby Johnson and Coalition for Life for something (perhaps embarassment?) Johnson was the director of the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Bryan, Texas….

Haha. I kind of like the new and improved return of thor - a smarmy, homophobic, fascist putz to go on top of an already pretentious, immature attention whore. Good life ya got there, brother! Keep trolling for Russian ho-bags and thinking that you have a superior mind that anyone gives a shit about!

nishi is … aren’t you curious? I wonder what she can point to with respect to the Barack Obama having done anything amazing for biosciences? I’m sure there was *something* in the phony stimulus thingy but no one has said much.

I’m sure she’s positive that her “tribe” will benefit from whatever His Snippyness does. Even if he does fuckall.

Working. And being raaaaacist, according to the trolls on her site. Takes up too much of her time to come here and be insulted by thor.

Her own personal biosciences maybe. “dat Balack Obama rook pletty good to me!”

For this atheist, hating abortion is not a religious thang.
It’s a “carried two fetuses that I loved from the moment they were made to full term and would have killed anyone that came near them with a vacuum hose” kinda thang.
Religion has nothing to do with it.
Comment by survcon63 on 11/3 @ 4:53 pm #
Abortion: legal, not tax-payer funded, and shame the hell out of anyone who even thinks of doing it.
Where did the shame go? Where?

Shame requires morals.

Here I be, happyfeet. Mostly lurking lately. Too much time being given to the idiots in here lately for my taste. I will second your comment about Mal. A freaking brilliant cat that guy is. Oh, and that is not thor. But, it is pretty sad to be trying to imitate a sociopath…and failing.

I never see the MSNBC. I don’t really pay much attention to the cable news though I bet tonight would be funny especially MSNBC. Some people are really very very worried in their little heads that one Mr. Glenn Beck is gonna launch a revolutionary third party extravaganzapalooza what will inadvertently pitch our little country into the dirty socialist abyss for all eternity. These people probably need to get out more. Cable news is actually not very impactful on the real world in ways anyone would notice. I promise.

“Not very sporting.”
She can be fairly persnickety for certain, but then she is as her name suggests only recently (in relative terms) a convert to the party of the free so she has some activist hangovers from former days.

VA is a local local local election that swung on local issues, and no matter how bad Barcky/Deeds get beat, it is nothing other than a reflection on local issues.

AFA: “Under an innocuous-sounding section titled “School-Based Health Clinics,” H.R. 3200 will authorize Planned Parenthood, as a “sponsoring facility,” to run a clinic during school hours on the grounds of public schools, with absolutely no accountability either to parents or school administrators.
Clinics would be accountable only to the Secretary of Health & Human Services, the radically pro-abortion Kathleen Sebelius, who was a fervent supporter of late-term abortionist George Tiller.
All this will be done at taxpayer expense. And unlike the rest of the bill, which isn’t slated to go into effect until 2013, these clinics are scheduled to go into schools next fall.”…………
I doubt they would perform abortions on school grounds, but would certainly send students to their off-campus abortuariums.
This is why all the $ecret meeting$ at the White House.
