There is no evidence to support that PP [Planned Parenthood] actually gives a rip about women’s rights other than that they give out cheap contraception and cheap abortions, while dishonestly claiming that to lose their government funding women would lose these cheap services.

Wow, really? I didn't realize how little they cared, or how "cheap" their services are. Wow, must be true, because they cared for me for a sever urinary track infection and kept a check up until it was gone, within a short period of time at that!
I got one of those Planned Parenthood gift card emails that the fundies have been railing about this holiday season. It wasn't for a gift card for abortions. It was for a gift card for ANY health services...exams, birth control. I still thought it was a little tacky, but not what they were making it out to be. I don't know if PP really cares about women's health...I don't believe anyone really does, except the woman in question and her loved ones...but I think that they care more than fundies do. To fundies we are nothing but walking incubators, and if the fetus happens to be female, she's a potential walking incubator.
So to all the fundies during this holiday season, I say...fuck you very much, up the ass, with a rusty chainsaw.
while dishonestly claiming that to lose their government funding women would lose these cheap services.
as someone who lives 8hrs away from the nearest PP, I would like to point out that this is NOT a dishonest claim but factually accurate.
My IUD, acquired when living in Seattle: $0
My friend's identical IUD, acquired here: $3000 (couldn't afford it, didn't get one)
Yes, obviously the men and women who come to work having to cross picket lines of people screaming at them, who have to deal with death threats and bomb threats, who are working as volunteers or at low pay, who are ostracized and hated by many people... they must not care at all about the men, women and children they serve.
Look at all the shit these Planned Parenthood workers deal with and tell me they don't care: I Am Emily X
Planned Parenthood prevents more abortions in a day of handing out cheap--and sometimes even free --birth control than these fuckers could do in a lifetime of screaming at and lying to women outside their clinics.

"There is no evidence to support that PP [Planned Parenthood] actually gives a rip about women’s rights (...)"
So says you, one of the pro-birthers--as they're truthfully called--who would almost certainly gladly see women reduced once more to the status of brood mares for the State.
I can personally attest to the fact they do care about women's rights, as they helped me out to get a good OB and health care.
And unless you suddenly become "Highgirl" instead of "Highboy", have a PAP smear and other GYN exams at Planned Parenthood, you have no business going on about women's treatment at their clinics.
I know I've said this before, and with lots of capitals...
Meds to keep me from PMS 3 weeks of the month - $55/month.
Meds to keep me from bleeding to anemia - $50/month.
Getting health insurance from anyone - DENIED. Going to a clinic to ask for sliding scale as university employees don't get unemployment benefits - a lesson in getting treated like crap.
Being treated like a human by a RNM, the entire staff, and walking out the door (crying from relief) with over $300 of medication for free from a PP... PRICELESS!
Many people this holiday season have been/will be encouraged to donate BY ME and I don't give a damn about how the religious ones feel about it. They gave me what I need to be ALIVE. Strangely enough, many of the women in the waiting room with me were waiting for prenatal CARE.
High "boy", I've never said this to anyone on the internet, but as a male and an idiot - DIAF, the hell you believe in preferably.
"There is no evidence ... gives a rip about women’s rights other than ... cheap contraception and cheap abortions"
Those ARE women's rights, fucktard.
I love how he lumps contraception in with abortions. Because poor women totally don't deserve birth control *or* abortions. Or, given that he's probably a conservative, welfare. Starving kids for the win!
claiming that to lose their government funding women would lose these cheap services.
That's what we like to call in these parts, "Duh."
Highhorse, until you grow a uterus, shut the fuck up.
I would say that men have some say in women's rights (not a vote in it however).
But then I realize I'm only saying that because I'm a guy and this "Highboy" is clear proof that women's rights issues remain only for those with vagina's.
I as a man firmly believe that women have every right to decide what happens with their bodies and that until the baby is out that it is still part of their body.
Tell you what. I'll plant a tapeworm in your gut and forbid you to remove it - it's a living thing after all, and you're pro-life, aren't you? Have fun!
What? That isn't fair?
Then keep your grabby paws off my body!
You want to control a uterus? Go grow one of your own!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
