Men do indeed have breasts and can actually be victims of breast cancer, but they do not have the genetic information that allows their breast to function in the same way that women's breast do. Women have breasts because their evolutionary role was to bear and nourish their offspring and their bodies are equipped (alas!) with more fat depots to provide the energy for that role. Men have more muscle mass and less fat because they were the ones who had to go "hunt and gather" to provide for those that depended on them.

The biological ignorance of Planned Parenthood and all the others that spout this nonsense is astonishing! Just a few years ago they would have been laughed at and ridiculed for such outrageous beliefs. The fact that they are allowed to indoctrinate "young skulls full of mush" (to borrow a phrase from Rush) infuriates an old biology and anatomy insructor like me!!

There is a fabulous story about refusing to acknowledge certain self-evident truths by the great Harry V. Jaffa, who told the story best himself though you can find it elsewhere.

In Jaffa's heartrending eulogy, The Soul of [W.F.] Buckley Jaffa writes: >On one occasion I crossed swords with Ernest van den Haag, that resolute and unflinching advocate of scientific positivism. Our dispute had its origins at a Philadelphia Society meeting, when I was lecturing on “We hold these truths to be self evident…” Van den Haag stood up and declared “There are no self evident truths…” I then asked him, “Is it not self evident to you that you are not a dog?” He replied, “No.” I then said, “Don’t you know that you are not a dog?” He again replied, “No.” I concluded the dialogue by saying “If you don’t know that you are not a dog, maybe you don’t know that I am not a fire hydrant." I don’t think many there left without knowing why certain self-evident truths were the basis, not only of justice, but of sanity. There is no ground for human rights in positive law unless there is a prior ground in natural law recognizing that human beings are neither beasts nor God.

The eulogy should be read by all. It is a classic in conservative literature.

As I said, the information that all humans have nipples is accurate, and the statement that men do not have breasts was false.

Apart from that, people should know better than to look for useful information from Planned Parenthood.
