The network of 35 clinics across the state announced it is offering holiday vouchers for basic health care services "or the recipient's choice of birth control method."

i'm a bit conservative and even I don't have a problem with Planned Parenthood doing this. I'm all for preventing unwanted pregnancies. Then again, I certainly wouldn't want to unwrap it on christmas. LOL...

Well, they're not shoving the birth control pills down the girls' throats. It's the thought of the gift that counts!

I thought Planned Parenthood was smarter than that. They should be giving out extra condoms. Giving out birth control is only gonna decrease condom use, during a time of the year when STD contraction actually spikes.

what is destroying the sanctity of christmas? Sex?
The jews believe that sex on the sabbath is a Mitzfah, and sex on holidays is a Mitzfah.
Is it because Jesus was born of a virgin and birth control makes it unclear if you got pregnant because the birth control didn't work or if your kid is the returning Messiah?

novafan1533:
The Jews also believe that sex is a gift of God to be shared out of love. Giving out birth control is a way of saying that abstinence has no place - that hey, have as much sex as you want, just make sure you don't have a baby! Taking a holiday that celebrates the coming of the Savior, and the entrance into the world of so much joy and love, and turning it into a marketing ploy for an organization that is largely responsible for the 48,000,000 abortion in the US in the last three decades alone is one the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed.
If you are going to use Judaism as a defense for your response, then that is wonderful. But your attacking of Christianity destroys all of your credibility. Instead of attacking other people's religion, how about you examine what you believe and why you do. Then get back to me. - 4 years ago

I am sad that you feel quite so negative. Sure there is alot of negative stuff out there and the news does seem to be filled with doom and gloom but there is a lot of positive stuff too.
I can't wait to be a dad because, admitedly amongst a lot of other things, it is an oportunity to bring a reasoned and helpful person into the world who can be a positive force to aid change so we can see better stuff every day in this world.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, was a eugenicist. Do you know what that is? Hitler is our prime example of a eugenicist. Eugenicists believe that only the strongest and fittest people and races should reproduce. Everyone else should be provided abortions or forced sterilization to prevent them from reproducing. Read and the truth will set you free.

Interesting.
But, the clinic is voluntary and they accept all groups.So if you're implying that the agenda of planned parenthood is eugenics, you are wrong.

Angicazn,
What you say is not true. I did the research on Sanger when I was in grad school. I came across her by accident as I was looking into eugenics at the time. I am VERY pro-choice. And I have not posted anything about abortion because I consider it to be a personal issue, not a political one. The truth will set you free.

flyingkick,
I was just posting an ironic historical footnote. I am VERY pro choice and I do not think today's PP has a eugenics agenda.

I wouldn't mind something to enhance sex for xmas.. THAT would be a GIFT. But I don't need more birth control, I'm all responsible like that.

This is an excellent idea! It will help cut down on sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, too. That's a lot of bang for the buck--maybe not the best choice of words that.

no, PP does not think abortion falls under the birth control category. That's some shit reasoning to argue against abortion, believing that if it becomes available, people will use it as some form of birth control. That's what you're insinuating and that is a completely flawed logic.

they should hand out condoms and birth control. birth control does not protect you from an STD. and them being a health care facility should reassure those who want the birth control.

You should probably talk to your girlfriend first before you hand her a wrapped box with birth control pills in it!
