    Hello again, Steve:

    a record 333,964 million abortions.
    Wow. That's a BIG number - 333,964,000,000 to be exact.. I don't think there are that many women in the whole world.

    Typo, it happens.I started with a "quarter million" but it was higher than that... just not THAT high.

    $1.2 billion in income, $150 million in profit, a record 333,964 abortions.

    Funny how you missed the rest of the report, and the chart on page five that says abortion was but 3% of the total services of PP.

    I mean almost 11 million clients, and a third of a million for abortions??

    Nothing funny about killing a third of a million babies in a year. And as I said before, I thought you hated obscene profits.

    Abortionists should be put out of business, this business is obscene and unnecessary. Contraceptives have been available for a long time and any female engaging in sexual activity should have the good sense to use them

    I'll tell you what, other than making the church pay for them, I'll back off on the contraception mandate if we can put them out of business. Here's a perfect example of WHY they need to be put out of business:

    Abortionist Joked: 'This Baby Is Big Enough to Walk Around With Me or Walk Me to the Bus Stop'

    Of course our president will not offer a moment of national healing for his victims.

    Do Gosnell's Victims Matter, Mr. President?
    By John Sexton 21 Mar 2013 View Discussion

    In response to The media shapes public perception with the stories it chooses not to tell:

    I could not agree more with your observations about the media's interest in Kermit Gosnell. Imagine for a moment that the man on trial had killed an abortion provider. Somehow I think the major media would find time to mention his trial. But a man who is arguably the worst serial killer in U.S. history, who operated a clinic that is straight out a horror film with freezers full of body parts, a man who actually groomed his subordinates to kill, a man who smiled after he was arrested and believed he would be cleared to return to his important work--amazingly that's of no interest.

    And it's not just the media that's taking a pass. President Obama has made a habit of offering words of comfort when tragedy occurs, especially tragedy that involves children. He traveled to Tucson and spoke movingly of the 9 year old girl who was killed by Jared Loughner. He had great compassion for the young victims of Adam Lanza and promised to work to change the laws that, he claimed, allowed those killings to take place.

    So where is Obama on the 7 infants killed in Philly (really it's many, many times that number)? Why are there no teachable moments this time? Why no national dialogue about the grim reality of late term abortion? No discussion of the razor thin line between constitutional rights and murder from the First Lawyer. No vow to prevent this happening again by banning scissors or, more to the point, working to eradicate illegal late-term abortions (which like gun crimes are already illegal but still happen). Don't Gosnell's victims deserve a vote?

    The President will not offer nationally televised words of healing at any of the funerals (complete with souvenir t-shirt). He will not stare into the rafters, pause dramatically and stage whisper something about Kermit Gosnell failing to live up to our best ideals. In short, he will not capitalize on the deaths of these innocent children. And no one in the media seems to have noticed his unusual disinterest in doing so.

    I keep returning to this point because it matters. Gosnell is charged with eight murders but it's likely the true number of victims--over two decades--is in the hundreds. For perspective, consider that Gosnell's clinic may well have murdered more infants than the total number of people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing. He certainly killed far more than Adam Lanza or Jared Loughner. My point is, by any measure this is a national tragedy not a local crime story.

    Add to the scale of the crimes the fact that Gosnell's murder clinic flourished in the long political shadow of an industry the President enthusiastically supports and defends. The President himself voted to defended partial-birth abortion, which is one technicality away from the crimes Gosnell committed. Given all this, shouldn't the President at least be asked to comment? Even if he wants to remain silent, for obvious reasons, how can the media allow him to do so?

    He's obviously a monster who should be put out of business and prosecuted to the fullest extent... just like any other doctor or professional or other murderer. No need for sweeping generalizations.

    Sure there is, it's an attitude. Not all are as callous as this man but our society has turned into one where children are disposable. That's reprehensible.

    Totally agree. It's a supply/demand business, need to reduce the demand.

    I think we should encourage more of it.. since its mostly the liberals that are killing their own offspring... that equates to fewer mini-libtards that can vote in the future.

    Hoping they have responsible sex takes parenting, but you better have a reasonable option for the ones that slip through the cracks and have no parenting, and DON'T have sex responsibly.

    Federal law allows for abortion in the first trimester. Me, I would be comfortable if a female would have regular checks for pregnancy if she was sexually active. That's how I expressed it to the females in my own family as a gynecologist is preferable to a preacher, or abortionist.

    Only if they tell them just get an abortion... the taxpayers will pay for it... why use condoms or other birth control. (again I can not locate my sarcasm font to use).


    I'll have ot look a synopsis up on that book and see if its something that I might find interesting to read.

    Edit... I'm only finding reference to the movie... and we all know movies rarely give the book justice.

    I wish I had written that book. You and I have different tastes, but you might like its wry humor. It's a fast read.

    The movie is different from the book, I've heard. It's not as sappy as it soundsd --

    From Publishers Weekly
    Pat Peoples, the endearing narrator of this touching and funny debut, is down on his luck. The former high school history teacher has just been released from a mental institution and placed in the care of his mother. Not one to be discouraged, Pat believes he has only been on the inside for a few months––rather than four years––and plans on reconciling with his estranged wife. Refusing to accept that their apart time is actually a permanent separation, Pat spends his days and nights feverishly trying to become the man she had always desired. Our hapless hero makes a friend in Tiffany, the mentally unstable, widowed sister-in-law of his best friend, Ronnie. Each day as Pat heads out for his 10-mile run, Tiffany silently trails him, refusing to be shaken off by the object of her affection. The odd pair try to navigate a timid friendship, but as Pat is unable to discern friend from foe and reality from deranged optimism, every day proves to be a cringe-worthy adventure. Pat is as sweet as a puppy, and his offbeat story has all the markings of a crowd-pleaser.

    They interviewed that person that gave that course on the radio in the last two days and I heard most of it... she clearly was no Conservative.
