And You Were Worried About Bag Fees?

by Steve MacDonald

A woman was kicked off a plane for wearing a shirt that read, “If I wanted the Government in My Womb I’d F*** a Senator.”

There are plenty of things wrong with this. First, it assumes that the Senator in question would be both male and adequately equipped to achieve the implied destination.  While many Senators, regardless of gender, could be considered big (you know) as an insult, that does not automatically translate to human anatomy.  In fact, if the goat-entrails of the anecdotal collective consciousness are correct, the bigger the (you know) insult, the smaller the real thing actually is.

Senators also tend to lack ba**s, so this seems like an accurate analysis.  Viability of the “swim team” is a matter of detail we’ll pass on for now, but I will add that Democrat John Edwards “boys” were still swimming when he cheated on his cancer-stricken wife which suggests that the womb is achievable regardless of the size of your…constituency…at least for an Ex-Senator.

We also have here a woman who is not just sexist (Senators in this scenario must be men), but must also be a statist.  Her concept of government interference begins and ends in Washington DC.  Yes, I have to presume that she means a US Senator.  If they were a true believer in Republicanism and State Sovereignty they would have taken the time to add “State” in front of Senator, or more likley would be wearing a shirt on which the word Womb would be replaced with the word Ass.  But this is clealry a woman who would travel all the way to DC to have the “government” interloping in her womb.

Then there’s that whole stay out of my womb sub-culture whose roots come from the EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood, League of Women Voters, National Organ of Women, all abortion all the time, and while we’re at it, you’d better pay for it groups.  This is pay to play without the play, unless–according to the charming lady in the T-shirt with the word F*** on it–you happen to be a sitting US Senator.  This suggests that this person also promotes or expects Senators to be on the take and that this is the best way to get the government involved in your issue.   The irony of that is too vast to explore at this time so back to the Wombistas.

This is the kind of ignorant thinking that get’s your womb over-regulated by the HHS department of Childless Family Services in unpleasant ways you never imagined–just ask the Chinese.   And the chasm of ignorance  is vast.  The same sort that wears T-shirts with the words F*** and” my womb” on them, who are not a porn star (though they could be), are the same voting sluts that demand the government act as their prevention pimps at taxpayer expense.  And there’s the rub.  You can’t demand the government finance anything related to your lady parts and expect them to not take an ongoing interest in their investment.  In fact, that is how the government goes about the business of taking control of things, be they banks, car companies, small businesses, education curriculum’s, highway spending, bike paths, health care systems, or wombs.  A point I just made three weeks ago here.

Before the government can legally take other people’s money and spend it, even if its on traffic in and out of ‘your vagina’ they have to pass a law.  You need a law to support taxpayer funded abortion, a law for taxpayer funded contraception, and other laws for whatever else it is about your vagina that constitutes “women’s health” and “human rights.” So you should be finding new places in your vagina for more laws not less.   And not to scare “Don’t Tread on my Uterus” but every law requires scores of bureaucrats to write relevant rules and manage the regulations, implement them, and even enforce them, which will turn your vagina into a Law library and result in a uterus that has not only been thoroughly trampled on but will need to lease out space for the ever-expanding bureaucracy.

The Senator is just a facilitator.  He’s not even going to call you after, except perhaps for a cash donation to his re-erection campaign. (That was intentional).  And not that you’ll listen but if you don’t want the ‘Government’ in your womb, stop inviting them in.  They are like vampires.  Say yes once and they keep coming back until they’ve sucked you dry.

So should they have kicked someone this ignorant off the plane for the words on her T-shirt when, after all, they could have asked her to change it or cover it up?   Yes.  People this confused should not be allowed to fly in the passenger compartment.   We should treat them like the fruit or exotic animals people try to sneak in from foreign countries.  The risk of a disease spreading like wildfire after landing could incapacitate the entire nation for years.  Crap.  Too late.  That’s what happened in 2008.

Well, think of it as containment then.  No point letting things get worse.  We’ve actually go a shot at starting to turn this death spiral around.  And no, it’s not free political speech to wear those particular words on a T-shirt in public when there are plenty of others that will get the job done; it is just bad manners.

4.4 Million Reasons to Tell PPNNE to Kiss Off.

by Steve MacDonald 

The next time some uninformed “women’s health rights” drone takes you to task over your defense of the idea that New Hampshire should not be funding abortion providers with taxpayer dollars (or that the people do not have the right to elect officials who will pass such laws for them), provide the following instruction on Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s Spending Priorities

“..PPNNE’s 2010 annual report indicates $3.1 million spent on administration; $822,000 on public policy, including the aforementioned lobbyist; $445,000 on marketing. And they warn of having to turn women away if HB 228 passes?

Thanks to Ellen Kolb (here) for this quote from her blog (which you should check out by the way). Ellen is referring, among other things, to a vote on HB 228 in the NH State Senate today, “AN ACT prohibiting the use of public funds for abortion services.”  The Senate should pass this bill, not just because I don’t want taxpayer dollars supporting them but because PPNNE obviously has plenty of money to waste on things other than the actual care, whatever that care may happen to be.

$3,100,000.00 for administration.  $822,000.00 for public policy and the nice lobbyist whose job it is to ensure more taxpayer money goes to their employer.  And another $445,000 for marketing.   Those last two numbers together are an impressive sum but add them all together and PPNNE burns through 4.4 Million on lobbyists and paper pushers before a single woman (from the rampant hordes of those apparently desperate for such services in New Hampshire), even sees the sterile wrapper come off a single speculum.  No mint on the pillow either, I bet.

So how does PPNNE get off with wasting 4.4 million, including close to a million on “or else” politics so they can snatch a few bills off the backs of taxpayers?

Has it occurred to them that they should be spending that money on ‘Women’s Health” instead of on lobbyists, marketing (yes, marketing their virtual monopoly–with which women will ‘suffer’ without), and paper pushers?  You  might get the idea that this is not about women’s health at all but about something else instead.

Supporting A Corrupt Business

Would you stand up in a public hearing and defend an organization implicated in aiding illegal activity, sexual abuse, statutory rape and sex trafficking?  What kind of people would?  How about democrats, union members, and greedy corporate stooges on the take?

If it was anyone but Planned Parenthood, the national media sensation that admits it has a 'training' problem, the professional left would be storming the castle not just to demand why taxpayer dollars were begin given to these criminals, but when the bastards were going to be rounded up and put on trial.

There would be bus loads of angry folks protesting outside executives homes, harassing staff and customers.

Left wing bloggers, even at that sad little web site Blue Hampshire, would be disconnecting their brains from their keyboard, bellowing about the injustice and abuse, the violation of civil rights, and another destructive association by a political party full of hateful bigots and misogynists who view women as second class citizens.  A few of them might even ponder running a few people down in the crosswalk.

But this is Planned Parenthood, a national business, a big business, that makes plenty of money while using its status as a "health care provider" to milk taxpayers for money it does not even need.  And there are still a few people here in New Hampshire willing to stand up and say incredibly stupid things in defense of a business model that seems incapable of protecting the interests of the young girls it claims to champion from a life as an underage sex slave.

From this morning's union leader...

Kary Nealle Jencks, N.H. director of public policy for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England at the end of the article by Paula Tracy--who clearly has no personal agenda--states that...

the bill — even if passes — will not prevent her organization from treating citizens’ needs. Last year, the organization provided $5.5 million in services at its six locations, and is in line to get about $700,000 this year from the state. 

This is the last quote in the article, after half a dozen people have wailed like lepers about how much good Planned Parenthood has done for 'their daughters,' or how we can't stop taxpayer funding.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just put that last quote from Jencks in a short news digest clip? You know, PP directors says we don't really need your money, so kill the taxpayer funding?   Nope.  It's at the end so that we get to entertain ourselves with the wailing lepers.

So let us be entertained.

Former Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand, a father of two girls, asked legislators not to forget about the economic impact.

“Many (representatives) as candidates ran on liberty and freedom...and to get government out of the way. This bill takes the most personal of... civil liberties and tries to take it away,” he said.

Hey Steve?  What liberties and freedoms are we taking away?  PP just said it wont affect their ability to treat citizens needs.  So how about we consider the taxpayers whose liberty and freedom (and dollars) the "many representatives" ran on protecting, instead of the freedom of a big business suspected of illegal and corrupt behavior to use you as their milk man?

A few hundred thousand here and there, given the huge hole democrat Terie 'Billion Dollar Deficit' Norelli left behind, could have a huge "economic impact."  We cold create or save a few union teachers jobs so they could then take a personal day to go to Concord and protest the de-funding of the left wing deity known as Planned Parenthood.

Steve Marchand, by the way, is one of the leaders of our local No Labels group here in New Hampshire.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I think his label is showing.

Next up ...

State Rep. Candice Bouchard, D-Concord, said no health care provider does more to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies than Planned Parenthood.

And she charged the six sponsors of the bill, all Republicans, with failing to focus on economic issues needing immediate attention.

I would agree that no one kills more unborn babies in New Hampshire than planned parenthood.  Unfortunately, democrats have made sure we cannot tell how many unwanted pregnancies are 'reduced' by surgical or chemical abortions.

Rep Candice Bouchard (D-self supporting private businesses implicated in sex trafficking still need our tax dollars), is also suffering from the Marchand, No Labels, I have left wing tunnel vision disease.  She plays the same card when she asks why we are not focused on economic issues.  And I have the same answer for her.  Hundred of thousands of taxpayer dollars kept from a huge national business--that may be supporting sexual abuse of young women by the way--could be used to reduce the deficit or save New Hampshire jobs.  How is that not an economic issue?

By the way, the UL Reporter Paula Tracy does not take time to tell us that Rep Bouchard is the chair of NH House/Senate's Reproductive Rights Caucus. That's not important though. Nor is the fact that the councils rights do not extend to the unborn child who might be a girl, and entitled to reproductive rights all her own--or she could become a victim of sex trafficking supported by planned parenthood.  You never know.

More... you bet.

Mary Lou Biever of Rochester.. said she relied on material from Planned Parenthood to discuss issues with her daughters, and now, because one of them does not have health insurance, she relies on the organization to provide health screenings and care.

“The attack on Planned Parenthood is an attack on thousands of women in our state,” Biever said.

One more time?  Planned Parenthood says it wont affect services, which leaves us wondering if there are no doctors anywhere else in the state who know their way around a woman's womb?  And why would a mother of two girls stand up to defend an organization that is implicated in the abuses and illegal trafficking of other young girls elsewhere?

Which brings us back to Jencks, who in the beginning of the article says..

... the bill is intended to undermine settled law — Roe v Wade from 1973 — even though no federal or state tax money covers elective abortions.

“That money is only for cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in danger,” she said.

Would that be before or after the counseling on how to avoid the legal complications of running an underage sex trafficking ring?  Just asking.  Remember, PP is Big business.  It doesn't need the taxpayer money by its own admission.  And it is associated with people who violate the law and the rights of young women.  Actual rights.  Not the ones Jencks is imagining;  like where Roe v Wade creates a constitutional requirement that sucks taxpayers dry for abortion or even reproductive services of any kind.  Not there.  You just made it up.  Why did you lie?  (You have to.)

All in all very entertaining.  Nice of the reported to let PP contradict everyone in the article.  We also no know that Jencks expects $700,000 from the state to support her little corner of the PP empire.  Makes you wonder how we survived before Planned Parenthood to rule the free world?

In closing, I have a partial list of people who stood up at the hearing and spoke in support of Planned Parenthood and the need for taxpayers to fund a great big business, with a corrupt corporate culture, that does not willingly prohibit teenage prostitution and sex trafficking--presumably so it can continue to provide contraception, medication, and counseling--things your taxpayer dollars could be used for--even though we know they use those dollars for abortions.  (Remember, democrats are positive that you can't separate your international donations from your domestic ones, to comply with federal campaign laws, so why would a business that can't keep its own employees from aiding and abetting sexual abuse of minors separate your tax money from their abortion business, and how would they even know?)

Here's the partial list.

Rep. Timothy Horrigan, Durham - Democrat

Kary N. Jencks, NH Public Policy Director for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE)

Linda Griebsch,  Executive director, Feminist Health Center of Portsmouth (Greenland)

Claire Ebel, exec. dir., NH Civil Liberties Union

Mary Lou Biever, Rochester; testified as a concerned mother - also spoke at PP press conference preceding hearing.

Rep. Candace Bouchard, Concord - Democrat, chair of NH House/Senate's Reproductive Rights Caucus.

Pilar Olivo, chairman, NARAL-ProChoice NH

John Thyng, identified himself as a spokesman for NH for Health Care, speaking for 83,000

John Thyng is a Political coordinator for SEIU.  NH for Health Care is a local campaign by the SEIU to promote and advance Obamacare  (and taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood as well).   I am told that Mr. Thyng did not mention he was working for SEIU.

What It Means To Support Planned Parenthood

Progressive-liberal democrats will present themselves at the hearing for HB 228 on Tuesday February 8th to advocate for the continued public funding of Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire.  So maybe we should ask what it is they could be advocating?

Planned Parenthood has been implicated in a willingness to conceal sex trafficking, hide abortions performed on minors and prostitution.

Trafficking illegal immigrant minors in the sex trade.

And allowing the sexual abuse of minors including statutory rape without consistent and prompt reporting to the proper authorities.

Now I am not claiming that Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire or New England is complicit in any of these acts specifically, though they may be, I cannot say.  But they are guilty by association and it is that association that by itself should exclude them from any taxpayer funded support of any kind--particularly for those who think giving tax dollars to an abortion mill is not reason enough.

Planned Parenthood is guilty at the very least for failing to ingrain in their corporate, medical and professional culture the need to protect and defend the lives and bodies of these young girls, these children, in every office, in every community they serve, before any other corporate, professional or ideological objective.

That has not been the case and those who advocate for them should be considered complicit.

We don't even need to be offended by the idea of abortion to dismiss any claim they might make to public funding.  It is obvious that Planned Parenthood has not done enough to ensure that in every transaction, the name Planned Parenthood can be associated with the highest ethical standards, and a commitment to working with law enforcement to guard children from serial sexual abuse under any circumstances.  They are ideally positioned to help reduce this kind of abuse, yet that is not the culture they appear to have embedded in their organization.

After years of questionable action or inaction Planned Parenthood has an inferred culture that ensures abortions are “available” to everyone, including the victims of sexual predators, pedophiles and sex traffickers who prey on young girls, before anything else.  So anyone who would stand up and defend that culture must bear that burden as well.

We at GraniteGrok will be taking a particular interest in the list of persons who appear to testify against HB 228.  We will be acquiring and posting the names of everyone who is willing to defend a corporate culture that...

..may be complicit in the use of taxpayer dollars to counsel child molesters and sex traffickers on how to get and use contraception, administer medication to the victims of sexual abuse for STDs....and yes, in those rare occasions when a safe abortion is necessary for a victim of sex trafficking or statutory rape, how to get one without attracting the attention of law enforcement, even though we have been assured that taxpayer dollars are never, ever used for abortions.

Again, it does not matter if any of these things has ever occurred at a Planned Parenthood office in Northern New England, or even New Hampshire.  Planned Parenthood is an international presence.  It is no different than a greedy bank, or and evil insurance company or a fossil fuel energy business.  It has a culture and it is responsible for what that culture is willing to allow.  And the left has very well defined rules for guilt by association.  So I think it is time they got used to living up to those same rules themselves.

HB 228 is AN ACT prohibiting the department of health and human services from entering into a contract with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. or any organization that provides abortion services and prohibiting the use of public funds or insurance for abortion services.

Docket -

Public Hearing: 2/8/2011 1:30 PM LOB 205

Final Note: When the recent videos were released implicating PP in wrongdoing, the institutional left called a conference call to figure out how to defend them and cover it up.  No worries about the sex trafficking of minors, let's just make sure PP gets though this unscathed.

Hyde And Go Seek

We know that current health care plans will crowd out private insurance because Planned Parenthood and NARAL tell us so.  Both groups are concerned that any legislation which includes a private option will eventually make abortion less accessible.  But why would PP and NARAL think that?  The only way abortion could become less accessible would be if the private insurers who currently cover it are put out of business by the public option, something that is not supposed to happen (if we are to believe the bills supporters).  But that is exactly what NARAL and PP suspect will happen.  So if the Hyde amendment remains in force with a public option, abortion coverage will diminish making the promise of safe and rare, unsustainable.  They won't stand still for that.

 

Abortion is the shiniest chalice on the Liberal alter of social engineering.  The liberals would never abandon that sacred cup for anything.  So PP and NARAL will be wielding their checkbooks and influence as both carrot and stick to make sure that whatever plan emerges, abortions will remain a cherished plan in the party platform.  They are already lobbying it.

 

We can therefore only assume that if a public option passes the Hyde Amendment's demise cannot be far behind it.  That abortions will be paid for with public money one way or another.  That the conscious clause will be null and void, driving thousands of health care professionals out of a publicly funded industry.  And that the democrats were telling tall tales (again) to sneak their unpopular agenda past the American people.
