Many years ago, I was in need of some family planning advice. I'll spare you the details, but the contraception I was using wasn't suitable for my needs. My family doctor wasn't much help, so I started digging around to find a real expert. My research led me directly to Planned Parenthood. They're the specialists. That's all they do. Every one of their counselors is well versed in all aspects of family planning and reproductive health.
Well, little did I know, only hookers go to Planned Parenthood!
Never mind that all the data show that Planned Parenthood prevents far more abortions than it actually performs. Independent research shows that Planned Parenthood helps prevent over 2 million unwanted pregnancies each year and prevents over 800,000 abortions. Planned Parenthood is doing far more to reduce abortions than all of its right-wing critics combined.
The facts are clear: if the religious right got their way, we'd return to abstinence-only sex education. All family-planning services would be cancelled, and abortions would be illegal. Abortion rates would skyrocket, and thousands of women would die every year from back-alley abortions.
So Mr. Beck, if you say only hookers go to Planned Parenthood, then I guess I'm a hooker! But I planned my family, and I have three wonderful children who are loved and cherished, and who came into my life when I was ready to be a good father.

Glenn Back was like the "Chicken Littles” always saying that the “Sky is Falling”, like the same ones that were the “Chicken Hawks” ("W" Wars), big talk no courage. The United States, favors creativity wherever it can be found. We're apostles of prosperity and defenders of the free exchange of ideas and when more people in more countries are free to rise, to invent, to communicate, to dissent, it's not the doom of United States leadership, its the triumph of the American way. Generations have worked hard and sacrificed much for the country to reach this point (individuals and our unions!), and with further hard work and sacrifice (along with our relentless self-doubt) the United States will rise again, we do not tire and we are coming back, no matter what the “Chicken Littles” keep saying about our nation. Never Bet Against the United States!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to send Glenn beck back to his paradise America of 1848? Can we send his fans along with him?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad his show is ending as he faces diminishing returns on his apocalyptic view of the future. He made his gold money and hopefully he'll be relegated to radio waves and ignorant fools who want to believe the world is against him.
ReplyDeletePlanned Parenthood is an invaluable service. I've heard arguments against public funding for NPR I can agree with, but Planned Parenthood is a must-keep.
I've heard the rumors that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU, but I want aware of the allegations that Glen Beck helped Craig James kill 5 male hookers at SMU. That's news to me
