Komen’s Anti-Abortion VP Wanted To Defund Planned Parenthood
“Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation’s leading anti-breast-cancer charity, has insisted that its since-reversed decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood arose from a routine change in criteria for grant eligibility that had nothing to do with abortion politics. But a Komen insider told HuffPost on Sunday that Karen Handel, Komen’s staunchly anti-abortion vice president for public policy, was the main force behind the decision to defund Planned Parenthood and the attempt to make that decision look nonpolitical…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

@dalecs47 Well, I …
@dalecs47 Well, I think the most important part of it is that many people won’t criticize them because they have similar beliefs. I’m talking about liberal Christians. They won’t, and can’t, criticize the idea that Jesus is just a myth (because they wouldn’t be Christians if they did). Best they can do is just say that the fundamentalists are “interpreting it wrong” all the while defending the fundamentalists initial belief in Jesus.

@Standonarock Yet you give 3 billion a year to them..why?Just wondering where christians decided it was fine to slaughter jews then switched to backing a country of them.That is the true reason church and state should be seperate as why should america back a country that shouldnt exist?The british/roman/turkish/ ect empires dont exist anymore why should isreal?Oh cos god says so murdering n invading ppl is a lil disgusting,its relevant since murdering fetuses and adults is the same thing right?
@Standonarock Um …
@Standonarock Um since when is a choice to have an abortion a satanic ritual? In fact most catholic rituals are satanic such as digesting the blood+body of jesus in order to be just like him(LOL zombies? vampires?).You have a constitution to stop all the religons killing each other in name of the same god,Jews christians and islam are all abrahamist.Isreal doesnt exist unless they follow the laws in the old testament yet they dont have slavery?Not following gods laws means they shouldnt exist.
@Standonarock Yeah …
@Standonarock Yeah I hate it when they do the whole pentagram and virgin’s blood thing before court cases, it really encourages the jury to be pro-conviction.
@StunnedByStupidity …
@StunnedByStupidity Maybe, but ive seen many abortion videos and its very gross, my main point is religion shouldnt be used on either side of the issue, both sides end up arguing over if god exists or not and never get around to the real issue, anyway im not here to tell anyone they have to give birth, im saying abortion shouldnt be a mcdonalds drive through for lazy irresponsible whores.

It’s funny how serious and how newsly he is being, and then you have two guys in the background just chilling haha.

What’s sad is that the Huffington Post article was probably sourced by another Republican, pro-life wingnut in the organization who leaked the info to get Handel fired in a power-play.

You obviously lack intelligence or linguistic skills to keep up. I advocate life and my friend does not. I do NOT want an asteroid to destroy all life, while my friend does. Not very “allseeing.”

Religious people are tired of the bigots that force their satanic rituals down our throat. Separation of church and state includes the synagogue of satan.

How YOUNG are the Young Turks? I say more mid-life than young.
Karen Handel is a …
Karen Handel is a great example of how most Conservatives would like nothing more to impose their values and attitudes onto the entire society. It’s about time Americans said we have had enough of your bullshit and your provincial attitudes and that we are going to Out You at every opportunity when you continue to lie, deceive and try to use the American system of government to do nothing more than impose your Stealth Agenda and Ideology
on the fiber of the American public.

@criskity Forcing poor people to have poor kids who end up joining our army. It seems to my what its all about. Perhaps that is also why they hate social help programs for the poor.
