that Mississippi would send an all black and an all white delegation which caused all the chaos at Chicago.

Do you really think Planned Parenthood will last for another 2yrs?

The number of U.S. abortion providers declined 4% between 2008 (1,793) and 2011 (1,720). The number of clinics providing abortion services declined 1%, from 851 to 839. Eighty-nine percent of all U.S. counties lacked an abortion clinic in 2011.

This video offensive is to get Congress to drop total funding this year.

Also a large group of the old time delegates have connection to the Knights of Columbus and Catholic Charities.

I knew who planned ahead.

Every politician that I've known since then paid no attention to process and ended up playing defense.

I try to bring up the possible not always the probable, in order to alert people and try to lessen the suprise factor.

Abortion services constitute about 2% of PP's activity and services. Only a Republican would take the point of view that says otherwise (it's the Fox Noise version of things, and about as truthful as anything else they yap about).
