'Planned parenthood' is not about planning parenthood or the family. It's about exercising a woman's "right" in defiance to all who oppose. Even if a woman were to change her mind about having an abortion, PP would do everything they can to convince her that she should anyway. In fact I would say that PP would encourage women to get pregnant just so they could exercise their right to abort.

I, for one, commend you for your sensible commentary.

No more tax exempt foundations. They are destroying this country. Time to get rid of them.

Your intent is laudable, but it is already too late. There seem to be very few Freepers left (at least among the active posters) who know the history behind your point, and in the general population the percentage who do is infinitesimal. Thus your post can only seem to most readers to just be weird or bizarre.

If the Internet and alternative media had existed in 1954 at the time of the Reece Committee investigations in Congress there might have been a chance to make a difference, but not now. The cultural and historical education of the citizenry has been so degraded that we no longer have a significant number who are even capable of understanding your point.

I read that PP makes so much money from abortions that any concept of 'Planning' is a joke. This liberal organization is apparently a staunch capitalistic organization - they have a product (abortion services) to sell at a profit-producing price and they vigorously market their product. Typical hypocritical libs.

I seriously had no idea. I thought PP was a non profit organization helping womens' cause.

Doesn't matter what you target it for; a few years after you die a bunch of liberal lawyers will hijack it and it will be funding queerfests. If you've got money to give, make sure it is spent rather quickly on what you want it spent on, or expect to be rolling over in your grave when the church you left it to drives out the likes of you and takes over all the real estate and endowments left to them by the likes of you and uses it to promote what you and your sorts used to call sin.

"...They are trying to use mostly existing technologies to attack disease......"

Except in the case of malaria. The foundation is mega-spending on a vaccine or other cure while ignoring the extremely effective solution while hundreds of thousands die of malaria every year.

He's a wiser investor than any of us, and that, regrettably, includes you. If he saw you as a good investment, he'd have sent money long ago.

Short of a full armed invasion, what may make a difference is to use that money to hire mercenaries/assasins to go over and topple those regimes - the likes of Mugabe's

That's so true. When run by the British, most of the starving African hell-hole countries were prosperous and net exporters of food.

No, the government is destroying this country with their over spending.

They give money and grant power to those who do not deserve it through their tax exempt status. Prime example, the Nature Conservancy. We have to stop feeding the beasts and make it costly for them to do their damage. Right now they make money out of harming our rights and our freedoms.

Should we care if he uses his money to undermine our country, like Mr. Soros does?

if Soros were a conservative, the SEC and DOJ would have gone after him years ago.
