Claim From Whistleblower: Planned Parenthood Had Minimum "Quotas" For Abortions; Rewarded Managers Who Encouraged More Abortions with Pizza Parties and Paid Days Off
I'm sure you've seen this, as it's been wall to wall on CNN.
Just kidding, obviously."I trained my staff the way that I was trained, which was to really encourage women to choose abortion and to have it at Planned Parenthood because it counts towards our goal," Thayer said. "I felt like I was more of a salesman sometimes, to sell abortions," said former Planned Parenthood nurse Marianne Anderson. "We were constantly told we have quotas to meet to stay open."Video at Live Action's FaceBook page and below.

You have to make revenue.
They make revenue from abortions.
So they incent their managers for more abortions for more revenue. If you are in a business, you want your business managers to make more business. That's how it works. Why would anyone be shocked or surprised, why would they deny it?

A week or two ago I noticed a discussion on Facebook about LiveAction's search for pre-natal care at Planned Parenthood. A friend of a friend was stating that the whole thing was nonsense because Planned Parenthood has never claimed to offer pre-natal care.
I observed (merely observed; I offered no opinion on the matter either way) that the pre-recorded on-hold message at one of the clinics advertised pre-natal care, even though the woman who eventually answered the phone said the clinic didn't offer it. The friend of friend responded by calling it "propaganda".
They don't care. They're desperate to justify Planned Parenthood's existence, and they'll go to just about any lengths to avoid embarrassing the organization. The fact that not all that long ago it was seriously argued that Planned Parenthood offered breast cancer screenings (they don't - the head of the organization testified as much in DC) has probably been shoved down the memory hole.

Without profits, you can't stay in business. Even the leftists know this; usually just after the money runs out.
You think the operators of this business were doing this for altruistic reasons? No. It is about the money. It is always about the money.
That is why you need political power. With power, you get the money.

You may think I'm foolish
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby you know you bug me
There ain't no secret 'bout that
Well come on over here and hug me
Baby I'll spill the facts
Well honey it ain't your money
'Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac

=======================
I have little doubt that Nancy Pelosi believes that abortion is not wrong. I think that's a belief that she holds.
However, I think it's the money from PP and other donors that pushes her to, "It's a moral good" ground.
I'll always believe that John C. Calhoun came to truly believed that slavery was a moral good. He was wildly wrong, but he always seemed like an honest man. Pelosi? She's gone from "morally acceptable" to "morally laudable" most likely because her donors want her to.
I think less of Nancy Pelosi than I do of John C. Calhoun.

They make revenue from abortions.
So they incent their managers for more abortions for more revenue. If you are in a business, you want your business managers to make more business. That's how it works.

Which means, if this gets any attention at all, the left will use it to argue for more funding for PP. (Because they wouldn't have to do this if they were properly funded by the government! It's you reich-wingers that are forcing them to do more abortions!!!)

Yeah, more or less that.
Personally, from a very pragmatic standpoint, I believe abortion is an evil, but the exertion of Federal authority needed to completely eliminate it nationwide would be a greater evil. You could compare it to a Federal gun ban or the leaky 'war on drugs'.
There is, however, no medical rationale for it being legal as late as it is, something not seen in most of the world. Nor is there any moral rationale for requiring insurers and state and Federal health programs to pay for it.

Posted by: JEM at February 07, 2017 04:19 PM (TppKb)
ghetto areas were giving out birth control pills that were fakes, so
they could then do the abortions when the women got pregnant.
PP also does a lot of sex education via the website and other media, where they encourage teens (tweens) to get their sex on, experimentation w/partners, deviance, whatever. Yes, if you get a 12 year old having sex w/a lot of partners there's a better chance she'll need an abortion that if they promoted chastity and monogamy.

I have lots of lefty progressive friends. I try not to talk about politics with them.
I saw this on Facebook, shared by one of these friends.
----------
Effective Resistance Suggestions:
1. Don't use his name;
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him--it doesn't work;
4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their
darkest policies will grow;
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
7. Support artists and the arts;
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
9. Take care of yourselves; and
10. Resist!
Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it
gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's
game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your
face - to make you fight! Because once they've got you violent, then
they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to
handle is non-violence and humor."
When you post or talk about
him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican
Administration," or "The Republicans." This will have several effects:
the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for
their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like;
he will not get the focus of attention he craves; Republican
representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections"
----------
The TL;DR:
"they [Trump administration?] want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their
darkest policies will grow;"
The establishment wants violence from those who oppose it: "Because once they've got you violent, then
they know how to handle you."
"Republican
representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections"
I think they really believe all three of those things. (Obama was "The Lightworker". Have they started calling Trump "The Darkworker" yet?)
By the way, it would be great if all the leftists actually followed this plan. It would be a dramatic improvement in civility and a reduction in rioting.
I also like the idea of forcefully associating the party brand with the actions of its leaders. We should do that to the Democrats.

You have to make revenue.
They make revenue from abortions.
So they incent their managers for more abortions for more revenue. If you are in a business, you want your business managers to make more business. That's how it works. Why would anyone be shocked or surprised, why would they deny it?

Exactly. Non profit simply means that there are no shareholders or ownership that receives dividends at the end of the financial year. Non profit have to make enough money to cover all expenses and are allowed to have money kept in trust or in some type of account for future operating expenses. They must demonstrate they provide some kind of charity, educational, club, etc. (the letter designation after the 501 is assigned to organizations based on what type of non profit they are. It also denotes what percentage tax deduction the IRS allows contributors to take of their donation.
For example, a country club can be a non profit, however your dues to that club will not be tax deductible. Your donation to your non profit local library, however will be fully deductible
The difference is in the purpose of the non profit and it's overall public value.
It is an IRS tax device that allows qualifying organizations to be relieved of taxes on the income generated to the organization. The organizations are permitted to have employees, CEO's, BOD, etc. All salaries, bonuses, etc. must be within standard limits for the size of the organization.
Your local five dog animal rescue can be a non profit. The NFL is a non profit.

Right. I think the uniqueness I'm referring to would be that they actively believed there should be no slaves. Anywhere. Ever.
I'm sure history is full of slaves saying THEY shouldn't be slaves.
I just wonder how many times in history the slave-owning-class went to bat for the slaves. I can't think of any other examples off-hand but France might be one of them.

How unique, historically, was the American/British Abolitionist movement? Was that the first time abolition had been argued from a moral/philosophical angle?
My understanding is that slavery (of one kind or another) was the accepted norm globally for the bulk of history.
Posted by: Moron Pundit at February 07, 2017 04:24 PM (xeeHA)
The abolitionist movement was very rare. Rarer still was going out of their way to abolish it everywhere.
Slaver was indeed normal for most of the planet throughout history, especially in larger civilizations. In some, such as China, there was not much de jure slavery, but society was rather stratified. In other countries, especially England, the Common Law had no provision for it as slavery went against the Common Law. This is why slavery in English colonies existed because of positive statutory law and the idea that the colonies did not have the full jurisdiction of the mother country.
The sub-Saharan slave trade, as we know it, already existed before the Europeans showed up. They simply tapped into an existing market.
Though the French abolished slavery (for a while at least) during the French Revolution, the Anglo-English abolition movement was on far firmer historical ground and not based on revolutionary notions, but on the incompatibility of slavery with their civilization and the Common Law.
Even when slavery was illegal, the slave trade was banned in America as soon as it was Constitutional to do so, and the U.S. Navy was involved in stopping slave trading.

I know someone who volunteered at Planned Parenthood. At first, she was sort of in my face about it -- "I know you're pro-life, but I believe in a woman's choice," blah, blah, blah. This was back when I would still bother expressing anything politically out in the world, before I tired of dealing with the never ending bullying and virtue signalling.
Anyway, she ended up leaving PP, because she said, she eventually realized the only days she left there happy were when a woman ended up changing her mind and keeping the baby.
But, she was quick to tell me, she's still pro-choice.

It's interesting that the three examples I can think of (American in the 19th century, Britain, and France) all were started by people who really didn't live in the places where slavery was common.
America was the North where slavery had been legislated to oblivion. Britain was on the British Isles, where there were virtually no slaves, and had to do with British colonies (which had no direct say in Parliament) and France was the same was as Britain.
Seems like a pattern of busybodies walking into someone else's part of the world and forcing emancipation. That sounds worse than I wanted it to...

There was a big todo several years ago when one breast cancer charity (Susan G. Komon Foundation, iirc, though I'm probably botching the name badly) decided to cut its donations to Planned Parenthood. People were up in arms, and we were told that poor women would lose access to breast cancer screenings.
The head of Planned Parenthood recently got pulled in to testify in front of Congress. In addition to some other little tid-bits of information (for instance, PP had a net profit of over twice the amount of money that the government gives them), she stated that Planned Parenthood doesn't offer breast cancer screenings. The organization merely provides referrals.
This is on video, by the way. You can watch it on the Congressional web page devoted to the testimony.

Disclaimer: I really don't know. By the middle ages, there were few true slaves in Western Europe (though many peasants and other proles were treated, essentially, like slaves). I think it was evil Christianity with its radical ideas of each soul being worthy that killed it (for white people, anyway). Once exploration discovered a huge source of black people, slavery got its second wind. And then it was the Brits who took the lead in abolishing slavery.

IIRC, it was the Pope who essentially killed it by banning the Christian on Christian forms of all sorts of stuff that had previously been accepted as the rewards of winning a war. Christians couldn't make Christian PoWs slaves, weren't supposed to rape Christian women during their post-siege rampages, etc... Since most of Europe was Christian, that essentially meant that slaves wouldn't exist within Europe. So Continental Europe learned to live without.
That ignores the issue of serfdom, of course. But a serf was technically part of the land, and couldn't be sold from one master to another without also transferring the real estate.

I wonder if the overall cash situation had been more stable (people
like Jefferson and the entire Virginia gentry were constantly in debt
because they never had cash to cover short term expenses), if that would
have led to an abolitionist movement in the South?

.The South as it was from about 1800 could not exist without slaves. It was all about keeping slavery legal or destroying their States that led to the Civil War for the most part.

It would be the Old Testament, in the books of Moses. Slaves under the Law were basically indentured servants that had the option to make it lifelong if they wanted.
In the New Testament, off the top of my head the only time I can remember it being a topic is some behind the scenes stuff. IIRC, Paul met a runaway slave, and convinced the slave to return to his master. I think one of the epistles is connected to that (though I can't remember the details).

It seems to me that Christianity is intrinsically incompatible with
slavery of any kind. Once you acknowledge the humanity of a group of
people, you just can't enslave them. But it appears to have taken a
long time to percolate in Western Civilization.
People seem to forget that Christianity didn't spring fully formed into a vacuum. It took 300 years before it was accepted and open in the Roman Empire, and spent the next 1200 years pushing into pagan territories throughout Europe. A lot of Western history is shaped by the conflict between the Church and the older pagan traditions and societies that were slowly being dismantled. The Church often made compromises in order to advance its cause.

As soon as the Spanish began settling in the Caribbean, even while Columbus was still around, they debated the question of whether it was moral to enslave the natives.
There was a big conference, mainly of priests, held to address the question --- at Tordesillas IIRC, maybe Valladolid, I don't recall.
They determined that chattel slavery was contrary to Christian charity.
This is why the Indians, though often treated brutally, were never technically enslaved.
But sometime after Isabel died, the colonists managed to get "exceptions" for Africans who, they argued, were already slaves. That's how you got the plantation economy and black slaves in the Caribbean islands and coasts.

As I posted a few days ago. I read a history book that a friend of mine had who attended Wofford College and it was a required read for them . It said that at the time of the war in 1861 the economy in the South was 95% tied to slavery in one way or another.
What is even more ironic is that you could possibly blame slavery not dying on the vine before 1861 on Eli Whitney. Cotton was not profitable because of the labor intensive way it had to be processed before it could be used. After the invention of the cotton gin it became a huge cash crop and gave a new lease on life to slavery.
But there were more things on the table than slavery that pushed for the south to leave the union. The South was paying the major portions of taxes for the federal budget and especially through the imposition of the "Tariffs of Abomination". Money flowed North for use in federally subsidized railroads and canals while the South payed for it. That came close to starting the South from leaving long before 1861.

All true, but with one exception:
On the west coast of South America, the Spaniards DID try to enslave the natives (in Inca country, i.e. Peru and environs), to work in the gold and silver mines, in the early days of colonization. But the natives simply wouldn't work. At all. Refused to do anything. The Spaniards quickly gave up on the idea as simply unfeasible from a practical standpoint -- quite aside from any moral considerations.
