Good cause? These are the same fine folks who run print ads in the Arkansas Times advertising
"early terminination of pregnancies and much more!" Yeah, I know, they offer other "preventive " services, but still. Dispicable.

THIS IS PATHETIC. LIKE NERO FIDDLING WHILE ROME BURNED. "WHAT FIRE" THEY JUST DONT GET IT. A MONEY MAKING ABORTION MACHINE, AND THEY ARE DOING FUNDRAISERS?? GIVE ME A BREAK.
SOME JUST DONT DESERVE THE TITLES OF MOM AND DAD. DBI WILL BE THERE WITH HIS DANCIN SHOES ON AM SURE.

I'm with you guys..... this isn't a good cause and it's not in good taste either. For an organization that deals in death to put on a fundraiser that sounds like the local PTA bake sale is awful. I wish both sides of the isle would come together and put this group out of business. THAT would be a good cause.

Seems like a great time to send PP a little extra this year.. I'm in for everything but the long drive to the dance.

Each anti-choicer who trolls this thread earns Planned Parenthood an extra unit of donation from me. And the Capitol Steps are great.

Max,

In highlighting the organization's name, you omitted "Planned." That is the all-important adjective for this bunch--they're only for parenthood if it is planned. The idea of "planning" proposed by Margaret Sanger, PP founder, was called "eugenics" and worse when practiced by the Nazis.

leave it to you people to somehow equate educating people, std prevention and treatment, and offering all sorts of pre and post-natal medical services, especially to the underserved and needy in the u.s. and across the globe with nazism. bravo. thanks for being part of the solution!

Well, I'm not anti-choice but I am pro-life. And I'm not trolling, so that won't compel you to spend your money either. So, I guess if you really are committed to financially underwriting PP to facilitate terminating these unwanted, sometimes flawed but always defenseless babies, oops, fetuses, then you shouldn't need some half-a**** excuse to make a donation.

First of all; the Little Rock office of Planned Parenthood does NOT do abortions. It is a counseling service for women who are seeking help in decision making. It helps women PLAN thier next course of action. The decision is the woman's so can range from maintaining the pregnancy to terminating the pregnancy and many alternatives in between.
Alien, I bet you did not see the humor in your remark "For an organization that deals in death to put on a fundraiser that sounds like the local PTA bake sale is awful." PP does not deal with death, it deals with information. Sometimes it is appropriate for a woman to take what's baking out of the oven! I bet you have no sense of humor either.
The historical reference to Sanger is absurdly one sided. Her efforts both here and around the world in establishing the concept of family planning have helped brake the rapid increase of poverty around the world. If fact, her socialist based support of eugenics was tempered by what began to emerge in Nazi Germany and she made the following statement: "All the news from Germany is sad & horrible, and to me more dangerous than any other war going on any where because it has so many good people who applaud the atrocities & claim its right. The sudden antagonism in Germany against the Jews & the vitriolic hatred of them is spreading underground here & is far more dangerous than the aggressive policy of the Japanese in Manchuria.."
She was able to see the evil effects of her prior position. Can you do that with yours?
By the way, I am buying two tickets to the event, want to join me????

Janus - That has to be one of the most wacko, offensive references to the significance of an unborn child (or fetus) that I have ever heard, even from a pro-choicer. That little heartbeat is no more significant to you than a blob of cookie dough? Now its not even a little blob of cells - just a little wad of wet dough you scrape into the trash can . . .

Pardon me for interrupting the debate. I love the Capitol Steps; just wish the tickets weren't so darned expensive. Any chance they'll perform somewhere else around here at a concert more in my price range and possibly sans-fundraising intentioned?

As of this year, the Planned Parenthood Health Center in Little Rock offers medication abortion (pill method). Planned Parenthood provides many other vital services in our community. They offer so much to women (and men) in Little Rock: pregnancy testing (and because I've asked, I know there are as many joyful positives as apprehensive positives), HIV testing, family planning (birth control - hence the "planned" part of parenthood -gee, I have two beautiful children who I proudly call the Poster Children of Planned Parenthood), annual health exams for women, education and counseling, and so much more. The majority of the Health Centers' patients are 18-34 (ish). They offer services to young women who, without the best insurance (or no insurance) or access to affordable health care, might not have regular important health screenings such as PAP smears. I would never call Planned Parenthood an abortion clinic. It's a Health Center which also provides pregnancy termination. It can only operate in LIttle Rock by offering it's myriad of services and receiving financial support from individuals and through fundraising. The qomen and men of Little Rock desperately need this Heath Center.
So, hey, come see Capitol Steps! Will be a great show during this election year!

No doubt PP offers some beneficial services. But that's not much better than the dictatorship that nurtures the pure-bred children and aborts or discards those it deems unworthy.

I'm not sure what "poster children" for PP are supposed to represent - what about those that PP discarded - Oh - I forgot - those become the poster children for the Pro-Lifers (or Anti-choicers, I suppose). You probably saw those poster children at one of their rallies. . . You may see some at the capitol.
