And your non-biased source saying she actually said this is found where?
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/margaret_sanger.html
Yes, and that link provides other wonderful, loving, non-racist quotes from your wonderful Planned “Parenthood” founder! Gotta love her, such the hero, eh?
Sanger died in the 1960’s and no longer runs planned parenthood. The organization has moved past the founder and her morals are no longer reflected. This is obvious information.
If the only arguments against planned parenthood are those involving the morals of the founder from over 50 years ago (which by the way was common for everyone of that time period, not just Margaret Sanger), it kind of seems like you’re running out of sound arguments since you can’t even tackle the issues at hand.
EDIT: Wait, am I the only one who finds this argument a tad humorous coming from someone who is aggressively christian?
The crusades and dark ages never happened, right? Lynching people of other faiths, burning “witches” at the stake, and stoning gay people to death never happened, right? Christianity never had to change for the better and never had to go about dropping these terrible traditions, right?
Right.

I am against both. HOWEVER, if there were such a thing as a contraceptive (well, there is: ABSTINENCE) that worked with a zero-percent failure rate, I would be okay with it. But if I were given the choice to say one is better than the other, I would say that contraception is better than abortion. In the event that contraceptives fail, however, I am still opposed to abortion.
I am confused by your reasoning. A birth control method isn’t 100% effective, therefore it shouldn’t be used at all? Trying to abstain from a natural desire is the only way to go because 98% isn’t good enough?
We’ve already discussed how abstinence education doesn’t work well at all; being told not to do something does not satisfy curiosity about it. If someone really wants to see less abortion, they should be all about contraceptive use so that people are having safer sex when they do experiment with sex. Though not perfect, 98% is a much better contraceptive rate than unprotected sex, because abstinence education isn’t taken very seriously and people continue to have sex.
Being against abortion AND contraception is a viewpoint that has been shown to be a recipe for disaster.

For the record: those people had no right to harass you, bully you, and call you names in the way they did. It is NOT our jobs to judge. Yes, abortion is bad. NO, that doesn’t make you a horrible person, or mean you should go die somewhere.
To the anons: You are giving the pro-life community a bad name. There is NO excuse, whatsoever, to message her like this. To call her a whore, or anything of the sort. Pro-lifers are to support and help the women who have had abortions, not call names, bully, or shame. If you are truly pro-life, ACT LIKE IT. Pro-life is about MORE than wanting abortion to end and to want all unborn life to be protected. Pro-life is about supporting those who are going through difficult/unplanned pregnancies, and YES, supporting and helping those who have had abortions. Pro-life is NOT about judging those who have had abortions, calling them names, shaming them, telling them to go die, or whatever other brainless bullying you come up with.
And to all you pro-choicers out there who say, “BUHUUHUHUHU! Pro-lifers don’t help women! They’re just pro-fetus!”? I think Planned “Parenthood” was founded on the idea of wiping out not just the women of, but the ENTIRETY of all minorities. You can start there.
We cannot be pro-life, pro-baby, or “pro-fetus” without supporting what is supporting new life. Get it right.
Besides, we call ourselves pro-life. And that’s more than you could do.
“To the anons: You are giving the pro-life community a bad name.”
People sending anonymous messages aren’t the only ones giving the pro-life community a bad name. Registered tumblr users makin’ posts on their non anonymous blogs comparing abortion to the holocaust/slavery, shaming people for having sex, and telling people they deserve to die or burn forever are giving the pro-life community a bad name with no help from the anons at all.
Calling pro-lifers names and making posts with negative and/or belittling connotations (“get it right,” “that’s more than you could do”) is doing a good job giving the pro-life community a bad name too. c:
“I think Planned “Parenthood” was founded on the idea of wiping out not just the women of, but the ENTIRETY of all minorities”
And I think Christianity was founded on the idea of a word of god that must always be followed, even if god’s word included raping people, burning people at the stake, torturing gays, stoning non-believers, sacrificing animals, and loads of other immoral practices. Also: Crusades, etc.
Christianity isn’t about those things anymore, is it?
The point I’m actually getting at here is that how something started or what it’s been like in the past does not dictate what it is now, especially if the organization’s current actions are not reflecting those past views. Planned parenthood realized how crappy the morals of its founder were, and now organization no longer reflects those racist practices just like Christianity no longer practices stoning gay people to death.
I know planned parenthood can hardly be compared to a religion, but I’m using the comparison for the sake of the OP’s argument since they clearly are forgetting their own organization’s beginnings when talking about Planned Parenthood’s, let alone using them as sincere arguments.
“Besides, we call ourselves pro-life. And that’s more than you could do.”
I can call myself pro-choice, pro-human, pro-person, pro-woman, pro-family, pro-health, pro-children, pro-planned parenthood (both the practice and the organization), pro-equality, pro-peace, pro-research, pro-tolerance, anti-bigotry, anti-racism, anti-sexism, and open-minded. I’m way more than just “pro-life” (and I mean actual pro-life, as in being an advocate for all life rather than favoring some life over other lifes).
Come, let’s talk about “more than you could do.”

The quote is:
”My grandma was pronounced dead today. But by the grace of god the doctors revived her and she’s back with us.”
Honestly, posts like this really piss me off.
Not because they believe in god; that alone is not what pisses me off about these kinds of posts.
It’s the fact that they completely disregard the doctors and just solely praise god, only mentioning the doctors as if they were merely a tool through which god acted.
It was all god’s doing, right??
The doctor’s training, experience, quick-thinking, and medical knowledge had nothing to do with it, right????
RIGHT???
*Angrily foams at the mouth*
About 2,000 years ago, either one, two, three, or more women went to a tomb where someone was recently buried, and saw either one angel, two angels, one man, or two men. This is the most important event in history.
The bible: bringing you stories that are probably bullshit since at least 1445 BCE.

Hey, guess which blog didn’t respond to this post! I dropped a link to it in their ask twice now, so they have no excuse. I’m hoping that me making post about it will spark something and make them respond because as terrible as it sounds, I think it’s funny how ignorant on these subjects they are and I like seeing them try to defend it anyway. Does this make me a bad person? Or even if it does, should I care??
I find it really fucking funny that they asked for someone to point out mistakes they’ve made, but then they just ignore it.
Pro-life teenagers are amusing.
1): The “typical” pro-life argument route
Pro-lifer: Abortion is murder
Me: Not really. *explains why*
Pro-lifer: An unborn baby is a person though
Me: Not really *explains why*
Pro-lifer: It’s still a human
Me: Having human genetics doesn’t dictate personhood
Pro-lifer: It is a child though
me: No it’s not. *explains why*
Pro-lifer: it has potential to be child
Me: that doesn’t mean it is one now
Pro-lifer: …Abortion is murder.
Me: >:I
2). The “God Loves Babies” argument route
Pro-lifer: Abortion is murder
Me: Not really. *explains why*
Pro-lifer: The bible says otherwise *recites bible verse*
Me: The bible is not credible. Can you give me a non-biblical argument?
Pro-lifer: …Abortion is murder
Me: >:I
3). The “I don’t care what you say” pro-life person
Pro-lifer: Abortion is murder
Me: Not really. *explains why*
Pro-lifer: …Abortion is murder
Me: >:I
I am not a fan of circular logic, no sir.

Wait, I thought god was all powerful and perfect? How could he have missed one, let alone not know if he missed one or not and have to seek clarification by a mortal?

It’s Not A Choice It’s A Child once again.
“we have busy lives!” Is no excuse for providing false information, for being offensive, or for being intolerant. If you want your blog to hang on to any shred of professionalism it might still have left, I suggest you stop using this as an excuse.
“I’m going to give my honest opinion. Just like you do.”
The key difference between you and I regarding giving opinions: I research the topics at hand before I post -any- opinion of mine. I be sure I’m as educated as I possibly can on the subject before I form, or give, my opinion. This topic of transgenderism proves that you do not do research before you post.
I told you I would provide you with transgender resources, and I’ll keep my word. I informed you in another ask that I would be including them in my next post, so there is no excuse if you do not find them.
This is a really good one, I suggest reading all the pages, as it covers a lot of things in a nutshell:

If you (or anyone, really) has any other questions, feel free to ask. I’m well versed with transgenderism. Just no more transphobia- I don’t tolerate that garbage.
