Planned Parenthood isn't profiting off the deaths of children.

So they decided to make up the difference by getting into the highly profitable baby parts business. But the only way they can get the most profitable parts is by live or partial birth."
You have to admire the raw imagination to think this sort of thing up, don't you?
And even after linking to articles that prove the video by "the Center for Medical Progress" is a hoax and misleading, they continue to believe it's message without criticism!

The above meme was posted a day after I posted the following on a social media site discussing the PP "baby body chop shops":

And another thing I find annoying about conservatives is they tend to be downright prejudice when they assign characteristics to their hated liberals that are utterly untrue. Like we have some kind of liberal playbook or bible that tells us what to think. I came up with my belief system decades before I decided to label myself as a "progressive liberal Democrat". Oh, also, when faced with evidence that usurps my previous understandings, I CHANGE MY OPINION. Which I think is based on my understanding of THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
Yeah, we Americans will get what we deserve when we're collectively stupid enough to elect a Donald Trump for President!

(7,394 posts)and she follows several hillbilly theologians on facebook. Another meme she picked up from them, in addition to the 'baby parts" thing, was "abortion industry".
One clown was going on about how those damn libruls were all outraged about a lion being killed, while they don't seem to give a damn about all of those innocent babies being sold for parts! ! ! !
I'm at the point where I'm going to quit following what my sister posts.

(47,953 posts)Always with the meme that 'babies' are being sold for vast amounts of money.
A couple of things:
And if she really wants to be concerned about children being sold, she might start with the tens of thousands being sold every year IN THE USA as sex slaves. Where's the outrage on the right?

Some actually profit today from the assured horrible misery and deaths of children & animals tomorrow. I'm not convinced that is any better.
