Planned Parenthood

[Resurrexi]

According to a friend of mine, Planned Parenthood does some good things. I'm trying to explain to him why, even if Planned Parenthood does do good things like give mothers classes, that it is wrong to support Planned Parenthood.

Can anyone help?

The Nazi's did some good things for people too. Didn't make what they did to the Jews ok or acceptable.

that's what my response would be.

I don't like to drag the nazis into these things, but that's a good answer

Say, someone asks you for money and they say there's only a 5% chance they'll use it to kill someone. The other 95% of the time they'd donate it to charity.

...I would just donate it to the charity (actually I'd get some Ben&Jerry's, but that's besides the point).

Ben & Jerry's supports Planned Parenthood, so in the end you'd be doing what you told them not to do.

You could at least wait a little while before bringing in the Nazis. It's not even fun anymore... at least let us bet on how long before it's introduced as an "argument."

That's an excellent rebuttal. For example, the Nazis were conservationists and ardent supporters of animal welfare, but that doesn't change the fact that they were evil and certainly unworthy of support

But it is the argument. That is if Jewish People are really people, and babies are really babies. What made the Nazi's evil was their support of mass murder, not wee mustaches, and goosestepping. But declaring one group of people unhuman and killing them on a large scale.

Do you all have any idea how offensive many Jews find this? Do you care?



Why not try to make your case without acting as parasites, sucking on the emotional blood which flows through the memory of the shoah.

Me too, actually. My great grandmother told me about it.

I wouldn't be here today if they hadn't fled Germany.

It's not sucking emotional blood. It's not wanting the same thing to happen again.
