PP is the vehicle that makes the abortions possible, our money keeps them afloat. Without the gov't propping them up, they would be in dire straights. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

All I can find is this: According to FactCheck.org, nearly half of the funding for the NRA comes from membership dues alone. Voluntary donations to the NRA, however, still account for a majority portion of the remaining funding. This includes voluntary donations made during gun purchases at the point of sale as well as programs like the "round-up" campaign, operated by the NRA-ILA and retailers, where consumers can round a purchase up to the nearest dollar for donation to support lobbying efforts. With that said, gun manufacturers do donate to the NRA as well. For example, Sturm, Ruger, and Co., ran the "Million Gun Challenge" in 2011, which directly ties gun sales to donations with the target being one million dollars. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Thank you for keeping me on my toes. I admit I may have been in error about that. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

It seems as if the CEO of planned parenthood has been in error concerning what services they actually provide: “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | Well I suppose Popes make errors or even misstatements sometimes. Should I be worried for some reason? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | Technically, from what I've read some women are only getting breast exams at Planned Parenthood. If not for a referral from the breast exam, some might never end up getting the mammogram elsewhere. Good enough for me that it initiates the process in some cases. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I thought all popes upon election got Infallibility 2.2.3 installed by the Jesus... Maybe it's no longer compatible with the current Brain 6.6.6 OS? <shrug> Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Why if abortion is so abhorrent, people find it perfectly acceptable to mutilate baby boys penises? Would it be equally acceptable to castrate the genetically undesirable? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
