(27,813 posts)When I was in CCD many moons ago, they showed us an unintentionally hilarious film strip about the evils of abortion. It was old, the sound wasn't synched up, everyone was snickering at it. But the deep voice (which was also coming out toooo slooooowwllly on the tape) insisted that there were quotas for abortion that clinics had to meet. (It concluded by showing what it said was "a day's work", a wastebasket full of what it claimed were aborted babies, but that's another topic).

(27,813 posts)The name (or at least the name we knew it by) changed sometime between my First Communion and Confirmation. I think they made us go watch it with the kids who went to the Catholic school. Luckily our family is sane, and my mother didn't worry about my being brainwashed. Pretty sure I came home and mimicked it.

Exactly. It was like that in the 70s too.

(2,795 posts)Said she was a previous director of Planned Parenthood or a Planned Parenthood.
Quotas??? I have a very hard time believing that. For an organization that has been under fire for decades would have something like that. Me thinks she's full of shit. She also said PP offers no prenatal care. As I was looking on their website seeing the service of prenatal care Tweety interrupted that one of his staff said that they do. Her response - "they say they do on their website but no clinic offers prenatal care" Is she just another lying christian conservative.

Seems Matthews would have done some research on PPH since this anti-abortion woman was coming on.
Where was Joy Reid when we needed her.

(36,745 posts)The goal of Planned Parenthood is to make an abortion a procedure of "last resort". By providing adequate birth control education and tools, the need for abortion is significantly reduced.
These people simply want more white babies, it's all about racism.
