Why do we let Republicans defend the Confederacy?

And eugenics.

 

Sanger founded Planned Parenthood. She is controversial.

 

Not any more or less than non-POC

Yeah, I figured. But, you know, we can solve like 99% of that problem with affordable birth control and sex education (at both home & school - because that's where my kids got it)

Well, that matters little to me, I'm not going to running out and breeding up every 1/8 Pawnee woman I can find to make her kids redder.

 

Ding ding ding!

 

So are the people that blow up Planned Parenthood offices, like the one across the street from my office, where the "protesters" march in lawn chairs.

 

The pawnee are not easy. Bring flowers.

 

That would be offensive to a Pawnee woman. You bring venison for her father & brothers, beads for her mother, grandmother & sisters and bright ribbons for her for her hair.

Jesus Christ, and people think I'm the savage

 

I learned a little. We are making progress. But the only way I am bringing venison is if a deer jumps in front of my car.

 

I sing it and I voted for Hillary.

 

They don't have the power, its a state road. Most of the stretch of of US 1 in Alexandria is names something else anyway.

 

First one I hit next winter I'll try to save some of the meat for ya.

 

Slightly off topic, we have a section of the Coastal highway here.

"May 30, 2016 - U.S. Highway 101 has been designated the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq Memorial Highway."

Know locally as Dubya Bush highway.

 

It's a typical anti-choice attack on Sanger.. Particularly considering that Planned Parenthood didn't start performing abortions until after Sanger's death and that her primary focus wasn't to perform abortions, but to prevent the need to perform them by making sure women had easy/safe access to contraception.

There is also attempts to conflate her support for eugenics in general with the seedier side of eugenics that wanted to eliminate African Americans.. This is generally done by claiming she was racist because she felt that whites had a responsibility to look after African-Americans and a pervasive lie that Planned Parenthood's are placed in African American communities more than White neighborhoods. While her "maternal" view on the relationship between Whites and African-Americans would certainly be viewed as racist today, they were downright progressive by pre-WWII standards. Particularly her belief that by giving African-American women the ability to choose when they would have children, they would be able to better improve their economic standing..

 

VFish the culural aesthete strikes again.

 

And for Yoshou: we had this very conversation four years ago. VFish was there. He dead your comments. He knows he is wrong.

But continue politely trying to persuade him. I'm sure this time it will work.

 

No irony here. The statues were put up by dickheads and are being defended by other dickheads. The fact that most like minded dickheads have switched parties in the intervening decades does not make it surprising or ironic.

 

There was a Jefferson Davis on each side during the Civil War.

 

Hmmm I wonder which one we're discussing here.

The Confederacy had a General William T Sherman, the Union had two and a W T as well...

 

Violence on many sides?
