More than 3,000 anti-abortion activists gathered at the Minnesota Capitol to hear Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Sen. Norm Coleman at Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life’s annual “March for Life.”
The group Planned Parenthood got much of the attention. Only hours after an anti-abortion activist slammed his SUV into a Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul, rally attendees held up signs condemning the reproductive health organization and MCCL speakers called for the defunding of the organization they called the “abortion industry.”
Also condemned at the rally was President Barack Obama, who was accused of having an “anti-life” agenda.

What’s that? Stop funding to Planned Parenthood? Idiots. Planned Parenthood is primarily responsible on educating and providing services to PREVENT unwanted pregnancy. Do these people have the comprehension to know the difference between prevention VS abortion? Yeah 5% goes to actual abortion procedures but that’s because so many people in this country are so uneducated about sex education that they still think that “the pull out method” works. And if I was to bet money I bet most of those people in that rally don’t teach their kids anything about sex education aside from “don’t have sex”. Don’t forget that some of those people also think birth control is abortion. Those people need to get a clue!

Give one hand some money (for family planning, perhaps) and that frees up money for the other (abortion promoting or perfoming, maybe?). Also, as far as I’m aware, MCCL doesn’t take a position on Family Planning, Sex Ed, or Birth Control.
And in terms of Roe v. Wade: the Supreme Court was wrong in 1857 when they said black people weren’t guaranteed rights under the Constitution and they were wrong again in 1973. Anyone who hides behind the argument that because the Supreme Court said abortion is ok, that makes it ok would either have also agreed with the 1857 ruling that blacks were their master’s property, or they’re just hypocrites. Either way, lose-lose for pro-aborts.

I’d like evidence of abortion “promoting,” Karen.
PP is an important part of the safety net that provides low-cost health services to people who are either not insured or are under-insured.

Maybe MCCL itself doesn’t include family planning, sex ed birth control specifically in its “official” agenda. But their fellow travelers who push the MCCL agenda at the Capitol–the usual morons like Otremba, Fischbach and their ilk–are the ones behind “conscience clauses” for pharmacists, the failed abstinence-only sex ed boondoggle and a whole host of other legislation designed to control women’s reproductive health.
