Planned Parenthood of Indiana will seek a restraining order to stop the state from cutting off its government funding after Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a bill today that would end the flow of taxpayer dollars to the healthcare provider.

The bill is effective immediately. However, shortly after Daniels’ office announced the signing, Planned Parenthood of Indiana issued a news release saying that it, along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, will file a temporary restraining order and injunction to try to prevent HEA 1210 from taking effect.

Supporters of the bill, HB1210, say they do not want their tax dollars going to an organization that provides abortions. The bill also moves the deadline for women to receive abortions to 20 weeks and mandates that doctors tell patients that abortion has been linked to infertility.

2. Supporters of the bill, HB1210, say they do not want their tax dollars going to an organization that

provides abortions.

But they don't mind their tax dollars going to organizations that execute people or sent soldiers in harms way. Or ones that pollute their air and water and endanger their very lives.


These people don't think much, do they? Otherwise they'd defund the Defense Dept, oil companies, chemical plants, the Federal Government....

5. Um, abortion isn't the issue. It's just the trigger concept.

The issues is exactly the same as with all of your examples. Profit and control.

There is enormous profit to be made from poverty, and even more than reasserting man's dominion over women, it's very much about maintaining and tightening control over the poor and keeping them in that state regardless of gender.


At the heart of the degeneration of America, there really are people who could read through Jonathan Swift's http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=1444499">A Modest Proposal and come away from it only thinking: "It would never sell."

Unfortunately there are any number of "modest proposals" which have sold quite well in America (and to some degree elsewhere as well): "Three strikes and you're out" (which might make sense if limited to violent crime); Megan's Law and a whole raft of closely related legislation, which ONLY has limited utility when applied to the one in a million event of a random abduction, and are of virtually no use whatsoever for protecting the one in four children assaulted by family members, friends, and "prominent" members of communities; No public money for abortion or elective birth-control, for the health of those too "lazy" to provide for themselves; Legislation (and even constitutional protections) which elevate certain classes of "opinion" above demonstrable fact; "Papers please." in border states; OMG DRUGS!!!111!!!!!!111!; Nude body scanners and hands INSIDE your children's clothing whilst you look on impotently.


The last is the telling one. And the ultimate destination of all "Modest Proposals". Sheep like submission to any indignity.

Indiana Gov. Daniels signs bill to cut off Planned Parenthood funding, sparks legal fray
By Associated Press, Tuesday, May 10, 3:51 PM

INDIANAPOLIS — Planned Parenthood has asked a federal judge to stop Indiana from becoming the first state to cut off all funding to the agency.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt is expected to rule Wednesday on the request filed by Planned Parenthood of Indiana shortly after Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the bill into law Tuesday.

The measure is part of a bill that tightens abortion restrictions and could help Daniels’ image among social conservatives as he weighs a 2012 run for president.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana says the bill is unconstitutional and could leave thousands of patients without access to Pap tests, birth control and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.

4. "abortion has been linked to infertility"???

Every woman I know who had an abortion went on to have healthy children afterwards. And I know more than one.

6. Having a live birth can lead to infertility.

Complications can arise, however unlikely.
