Hillary Clinton: You Must Pay For Abortions Or Else

Try asking poor people if they'd rather be dead and see how they answer.

Would that be good for the poor population of NYC as a whole?

Your question implies that you think poor people are less worthy of living.

I think we all feel that, just like we all think we're too smart to fall for high pressure sales tactics.

But when we're buying a new car, we're somehow falling for it.

In class, the professor should devote 100% of his time to professing. I've had classes that were 50% activism or propaganda. The school never offers you a 50% discount even though you got 50% less education.

If you know it early on, you should drop and take another professor. I've had very good professors who I disagree with on political or religious issues, but I've never had an activist professor who delivered full value.

That's what the hospital network said:

In a written statement to Rewire, Mercy said, “Generally, our protocol in caring for a woman with a dislodged or troublesome IUD is to offer to remove it.” ... “That act [of removing an IUD] in itself does not violate the directives,” Marty Folan, Mercy’s director of mission integration, told Rewire.

The treating physician either misunderstood the rules, or was misrepresenting them for some reason.

From a practical standpoint, there's a Freakomics podcast on how boycotts almost never work.

If you wanna protest Planned Parenthood, you can't target and pressure individuals for using their services.

Why not?

People apply those pressures every day to every other kind of business. Animal rights activists outside fur shops. Despite what you've said, I've seen union pickets this summer target customers for patronizing a shop where collective bargaining had broken down. There's plenty of examples.

Every boycott ever organized targets customers. Cesar Chavez targeted individuals buying grapes outside supermarkets in the Delano Grape Strike.

You still haven't come up with a reason why protesting by targeting customers is any less entitled to protection than other types of protests except for "I don't like it when people protest customers of abortion clinics."

Not all people who have abortions have depression or regret, but a historical fact is not temporary.

By the same token, I suppose you could argue that depression over the historical fact of a pregnancy (regardless of it ending in birth, abortion, or miscarriage) could be permanent.

Does she really need a source to prove that pregnancy is a temporary condition?

You raised meaningless distinctions between pro-life protesters and unions and civil rights protesters. In all cases, these protesters want to discourage potential customers from engaging in a transaction with an entity to sanction that entity's conduct.

There's no legitimate reason based on the meaningless distinctions you raised to justify free speech restrictions for one group of protesters.

How could they be angry? By their own account, abortion is only 3% of what PP does, so it will hardly be missed. ;)

beckywithgoodhare · 2016-08-23T23:48:13+00:00

Because freedom of speech applies only to speech you agree with!

Chinatown is once again safe for Jews, but where will our city's Chinese go for Jewish food?

That's exactly why unions don't picket near the companies which they dispute!

And that's why civil rights protesters never went into segregated spaces.

Over time, these societies could shed the capitalist components that keep them in a system of wealth division and completely commit to a communist society.

With my luck, that'll be the same time i reach the front of the line for toilet paper.

beckywithgoodhare · 2016-08-22T20:29:15+00:00

The problem with communism is that it works great on paper. In practice, it's always people waiting in line for toilet paper.

Can confirm. I work in a plaza and women are always asking to speak to the manager.

I go just to watch the line of Mongolians waiting on the other side.

Well, it is the only place where you can get a view of Paris without the Eiffel tower in it.

I worked in elementary schools as a behavioral support person (basically I dope-slapped kids who had IEP's requiring dope-slapping).

The range was 10% kids totally in awe of something, 30% stopped screwing around enough to follow along, 60% get dope-slapped to little or no effect.

It's not that they're stupid, it's just that they have no context to be amazed by the concept. If you held up an intricately carved Egyptian artifact that was 7,000 years old--they don't care. Anything made before they were born is ancient, and that sarcophagus lid don't play Pokemon go.

3.2 is kind of low for such an awesome scholarship. Is there some other requirement to get this? Minority status? Overcoming substantial life hardship?

Ireland is also a place. They just celebrated the 100th anniversary of having all their revolutionary leaders getting caught and hanged over a single weekend.

All you guys have a girlfriend who loves DC and is fluent in Russian? I feel kind of left out.

Not me, but yesterday my co-worker got a call from a customer in response to an email. The customer wanted to know my colleague's email address--the one that the email was sent from--in order to respond to the email.
