To Nordberg: Get clearance from “Doctor” Wen before you reply:
Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen has affirmed the organization’s commitment to providing abortions after she claimed the news media misconstrued her earlier statements about expanding non-abortion services.
Ms. Wen clarified Tuesday that Planned Parenthood’s “core mission” is to provide, protect and expand access to abortion.
Expand access with tax dollars.

The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer
To Nordberg: Tax dollar abortions pay for it all. The services Planned Parenthood lies about can easily be performed by clinics that do not perform abortions.
To Nordberg: Family planning is doublespeak for promoting abortion. You can bet that Planned Parenthood never recommends ‘Have the baby.’
To Nordberg: Play nice. A woman’s choice includes no forced abortions IN THIS COUNTRY? The woman’s choice lie in the U.S. is held up as the gold standard for killing babies, while the abortion crowd dare not call attention to —— or object to —— China:

UPDATE
Expect the 9th Circuit to come down on the side of killing:
California’s law defining brain death and stipulating when doctors can remove life support from a patient was the target of a court hearing in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this week.
The case was brought by Jonee Fonseca, whose infant, Israel Stinson, was determined to be brain dead by doctors who then turned off life support for him.
A lawyer for Fonseca, Matthew McReynolds of the Pacific Justice Institute, said the state’s Uniform Determination of Death Act allowing doctors to be both “judge and executioner” should be thrown out.
After 40 minutes of arguments Monday, the judges on the 9th Circuit panel said they would review the evidence.
WND reported last year the dispute centers on a diagnosis of PVS, persistent vegetative state, in which a patient is comatose but still shows signs of life. The hospital turned off life support for 2-year-old Israel Stinson because a death certificate had been issued.
The case followed by only months a ruling in a similar case in California that allowed a malpractice lawsuit against a hospital to move forward even though a death certificate had been issued for teenager Jahi McMath.
McMath later succumbed to other health threats even as her case moved forward in the courts.
In the Stinson case, the brief filing with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concedes the boy is dead.
“No human power can call him back to life,” the filing states. “But his dignity can be reclaimed, his family’s fundamental rights to self-determination restored, and the statues that provided authority for the taking of his life rescinded.”
The complaint challenges the application of the state’s Uniform Determination of Death Act by Kaiser, arguing the boy “continued to show signs of life and responded to his mother’s voice and touch.”
He had suffered an asthma attack early in 2016 and doctors pronounced him dead. His mother kept him on life support, and when doctors sought to disconnect him, she moved him to Guatemala for treatment.
According to the complaint, he “remained biological alive with a chance of recovery.”
“In the late summer of 2016, Israel’s family was led to believe he could receive treatment at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and brought him back to the United States. But when the hospital learned that the state had issued a death certificate months earlier, they sought to terminate life support. The hospital would not permit an independent examination by an eminent doctor from UCLA who was prepared to assist the family,” Pacific Justice said.
The boy was moved to Kaiser, and then the hospital obtained permission to disconnect him from life support. Even as “an attorney frantically raced to the Second District Court of Appeals,” he was cut off from life support.
“As that attorney was handing a clerk his credit card to process payment for an appeal and request for stay, the hospital forcibly removed life support and the child expired.”
PJI then represented Israel’s mother in her challenge to the constitutionality of state laws that take away life-and-death decisions from parents.
A federal court in Sacramento dismissed the case, holding that the state cannot be held responsible for its determination-of-death laws, because doctors have “broad and legitimate discretion” to end patients’ life support, PJI said.
“What happened to our client was every parent’s worst nightmare. To see her son fighting for life while two different hospitals fought – and ultimately succeeded – in ending his life was an excruciating and unimaginable horror. This should never happen to another family, and that’s why we are challenging the state laws that facilitated this deprivation of life without due process. Doctors do not have broad discretion to end patients’ lives without their consent,” PJI said.
Courthouse News Service reported the judges on the 9th Circuit “pressed whether the family has any pending insurance claims or other financial obligations that could be affected by an eventual ruling. Fonseca wants the state to amend the date on Israel’s death certificate and have the lawsuit remanded to federal court in Sacramento for consideration on the merits.”
McReynolds said that, to his knowledge, there were no insurance claims.
U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Clifton, on the panel, said it’s certainly possible that the law played a role in the doctors’ assessments.

[QUOTE=Flanders;2787522]To Nordberg: So either population controls do not exist, or the poor are demanding population control methods for themselves, while Bill and Melinda Gates are minding their own business:
To Nordberg: Get real. The wealthy are not only pushing population controls with countless scare tactics, they tied them to abortion:
But Kerry has gone what in better days would have been universally held to be one bridge too far. In a speech last year to the NARAL Pro-Choice America Dinner, he gave an intellectually suicidal summary of his views.
He began by saying that "there is no overturning of Roe v. Wade." He went on: "There is no outlawing of a procedure necessary to save a woman's life or health." That statement of course begs the question on which the entire Congress and the state legislatures and the Supreme Court have been stalled for years, namely, Is the invocation of "health," if made by the woman alone, conclusive in authorizing abortion? If so, Roe v. Wade, which did not authorize willful third-trimester abortions, stands to be revised as the Roe-Wade-Kerry decision.
Kerry continued: "There (shall be) no more cutbacks on population control efforts around the world."
This endorses abortion Chinese-style. Too many people? Too few abortions.
But the eye-popper was still to come: "We need to honestly and confidently and candidly take this issue out to the country and we need to speak up and be proud of what we stand for."
But Kerry says he personally opposes abortion. Where is he exhibiting his pride in what he stands for? Whom has he counseled against abortion? A nun somewhere, out of earshot?

To Nordberg: Nice try:
Parenthetically, the argument for abolishing the death penalty began with:
BLACKSTONE’S RATIO
Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer. William Blackstone (1723 – 1780)
Take a look at the death penalty in relation to Blackstone’s Ratio.
Liberals always argue that the death penalty does not deter murder. That argument is absurd on the face of it. Execute a murderer and he/she will not murder again. Abolishing the death penalty most certainly will NOT deter murder.
The next favorite argument against the death penalty says that an innocent man cannot be brought back to life after he is executed. That line of reasoning is a piece of legal sophistry rooted in Blackstone’s Ratio.
Parenthetically, Blackstone’s Ratio depends upon who you quote. Charles Dickens put the morning line at 99 to 1 in favor of the criminals.
Blackstone’s Ratio probably made sense hundreds of years ago. It makes no sense today when you look at all of the protection criminals are given before trial in this country. Murderers are given even more protections in the form of endless appeals after they are found guilty. Twenty years or more often elapses before a murderer is finally executed. And executions are disappearing each time a state legislator abolishes the death penalty. Indeed, fewer executions take place than the number of convicted murderers released.
I doubt if all of those convicted murderers being set free are not guilty twenty years after being convicted. There is too much room for bribery and tampering with evidence to convince me that so many prosecutors made so many mistakes. Or maybe juries made all of those mistakes which does not say much for the jury system.
Life without parole is another myth.
A loophole in the 1987 life-without-parole law allows inmates to apply for clemency. In a move to clarify who might be eligible for clemency, the state Pardon and Parole Board recently enacted a policy that gives inmates with this sentence a chance for early release after 15 years.

Long before 1987 Clarence Darrow not only beat the death penalty he beat life without parole.
I believe that Leopold and Loeb beating the hangman was the most influential decision ever handed down in death penalty cases. Clarence Darrow’s entire defense was designed to beat the death penalty rather than get Leopold and Loeb off.
With their sons facing the hangman, the killers’ rich families called in a legal luminary — Clarence Darrow, 66, famed for saving 100 defendants from execution.
“Not guilty,” the original plea, would have put them before a jury, not a wise move with a pair of defendants as arrogant and unlikable as Leopold and Loeb.
Today’s touchy-feely garbage and psycho-babble gained nationwide acceptance because the Bobby Franks murder case got more publicity than did all of Darrow’s previous 100 death penalty cases combined.
Darrow, in a stunning move, changed the plea to guilty. Their case, with a parade of alienists, as psychiatrists were known in those days, would be presented to the judge, who would decide on life or death. In a three-day summation, Darrow quoted poetry, history and science in a plea for mercy so eloquent even the judge got misty-eyed. Darrow said that the boys, although not legally insane, were mentally ill and not responsible for their actions. “They killed him as they might kill a spider or a fly.”
Darrow ended up with two more notches on his saved-from-the-hangman’s belt. The judge gave his clients life plus 99 years.

[B]Life plus 99 years got lost when Leopold was paroled in 1958. Note that life without parole became another judicial myth after it was attached to a life sentence. Even worse, Darrow gave “. . . alienists, as psychiatrists were known in those days . . .” a vote in deciding guilty or not guilty. It will not be long before lawyers call upon “expert astrologists” reading tarot cards decide punishment.
You are lying as usual. The decision is personal and made by the person who is terminally ill. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-cana...nce-dying.html It is not like our capital punishment.
