I stand with Planned Parenthood. Always.

[Kath1]

Tonight, more than ever in the wake of this terrorist attack.

Years and years ago my girlfriend took me there for help with a STD. They were excellent.

I took my daughter there at age 16 for sex ed and contraceptives, Again, they were excellent.

So many of my friends have benefited from their services.

I am sick over this. Very pissed off, also.

Right wing politicians who gin up this hate have blood on their hands tonight.

[uppityperson]

1. Thank you and indeed. Me too.

[Kath1]

5. Thank you.

I am in mourning. So sad.

I hope the day will come when this society realizes that abortion is a medical procedure that helps women. Nothing more, nothing less.

A mass of cells or a fetus should never trump a woman's life. No way. Not ever.

6. There is a lot of blame to go around. It's obvious that the Right Wing hates women's rights

but also look to the Conservative in our own party. This is the culture they have fostered for the last 40 years.

It's time for a change from the corruption of big money in our government. Vote for Sen Sanders.

[sheshe2]

43. Please, Rhett.

Just one thread about women and our bodies and OUR rights without a plug for Sanders. Just one please.

This is about our life, and possibly an early death for us if we do not get the treatment we need. Please, could we have just one day for us? Is that to much to ask for.

[rhett o rick]

48. I have women in my life that I care about very, very much so no I won't be quiet.

I want to see PP protected and supported and will stand with them. I think the 2016 election is very important for social justice issues and I don't believe the 1% gives a crap and don't understand those that do.

[sheshe2]

49. You are half way there.

You met me half way. Thank you. I know you wish PP to be protected, our Gawd Dayum rights! OUR RIGHTS!!!! My Rights A Woman's Rights.

For once I do not want to hear about the 1%. I want to talk about the GOP that are denying me my rights.

[rhett o rick]

54. The blame for where we are from the last 40 years isn't all on the GOP.

Concentrating on them is a distraction from the damage being done by the Conservative Wing of the Party. The 1% not only sponsors the Republicons, they also sponsor the Conservative Wing of the Democratic Party. Some wish it to be easy, Republicons bad, and Democrats good. Life aint that easy. If you want progressive change, support progressives.

[MPeters]

52. 2016 election

...is the most important election we've ever had...if Bernie wins the primary. If Hilary wins the primary, it will be more of the same establishment obstruction and stagnation with more of the wealth going to the top. As far as PP is concerned, however, Dems cannot afford to let 3-4 Republican appointed members join the SCOTUS.

[rhett o rick]

57. Welcome to DU. I agree except I stronly believe that Sanders has a better chance of beating

the GOP idiot.

[SoapBox]

7. I stand with PPP and the Rights of Women to control their own bodies.

[safeinOhio]

15. I stand with them as they helped me,

a male that used their services. They helped me find an affordable doctor for a procedure that helped me prevent unwanted pregnancies for myself and mate.

Never forget, they help on reproductive rights for men and women.

[slumcamper]

8. I fail every time something like this happens.

My better angel beseeches me to love thy enemy, turn the other cheek, and willingly submit to the pain unleashed beneath the hand of those who oppress me. But my impulse is to hate, loathe, and strike back in retaliation.

Self-sacrifice lies at the basis of nonviolent civil disobedience. Eventually, the selfless suffering of the satyagrahi impels the oppressor to see the injustice and evil of his ways.

Unless it is a sustained and ever-present force, how can nonviolence triumph over this?

[Jack Rabbit]

9. K/R

I stand with PP.

[love_katz]

10. Standing with you, Kath1

[riderinthestorm]

11. Right there with you

Took my own 16 year old daughter there as well. We had a discussion about the anti-choice zealots she'd see going in.

She emerged a stronger feminist for it.

[fbc]

12. Yeah, I'm totally with you

Though technically I was 100% behind Planned Parenthood before and I always will be.

Like you, they have touched my life and I think everyone should have access to their caring services in time of need.

[Kath1]

13. I am still friends with the employees!

What a nice group of people and what a horrible act of terror today.

[Jim Beard]

14. The right just keeps hatching nuts.... A conceiled weapon

murder today proves it. A well liked waitress was murdered while she worked at a Waffle House because she ask a customer not to smoke.

Now.... if he had not had the gun on person, it is likely she would not have been shot.

Waitress shot to death after asking customer to put out smoke

She was shot in the head because she asked somebody not to smoke.

The 52-year-old Waffle House server was doing her job and enforcing the no-smoking policy at the restaurant when she was shot by a customer she told to put out a cigarette.

The popular waitress had worked at the restaurant for eight years, and she spent some of the last moments of her life asking customers if they had enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday.

“Our associates are in shock over the whole incident,” said Pat Warner, vice president of Waffle House’s corporate office in Atlanta. “It’s a senseless tragedy. … I’ve been with Waffle House for 16 years and don’t recall anything like this.”

Biloxi police Sgt. Donnie Dobbs said the customer, Johnny Max Mount, 45, is accused of fatally shooting the waitress early Friday after he fired up a cigarette inside the business. Police said Mount was still inside the restaurant when police believe he pulled out a 9-mm handgun and shot the woman. She died a short time later at Merit Health Biloxi. She had a single gunshot wound to her head.

16. Yes, it's the rwingers who gin up hate for orgs like Planned Parenthood, Kath.. "hate doesn't

need to be spread around" any further than that.

Thank you for supporting Hillary, Kath~

Hillary Clinton comes out in support of Planned Parenthood

Hillary Clinton is making her position on Planned Parenthood very clear: She is in full support of the organization.

“I’m proud to stand with Planned Parenthood, I’ll never stop fighting to protect the ability and right of every woman in this country to make her own health decisions,” Clinton said in a video released Monday.

The video is the strongest statement on the organization to date from the 2016 Democratic front-runner.

Planned Parenthood has been under fire since a series of undercover videos were released by an anti-abortion advocacy group over the past few weeks.

Thank you for this, Kath~

[Kath1]

17. Thank YOU for being a Hillary supporter!

"She is in full support of the organization."

Right on, Hillary! She is 100% PRO-CHOICE!

That is what is so cool about this campaign. Women coming together for a woman. Men getting involved for a woman.

Madam President will be awesome for the country!

[Cha]

18. Yes! First Madame Secretary~ Coming up Next..

I'm feeling it!

24. I know.

That speaks volumes.

Almost like they tacitly endorse it through their silence. Everyone should be outraged by this.

[Cha]

35. They're scared of the NRA

[retrowire]

32. they're sitting around thinking

oh shit, if I condemn the shooter then I'll look like a support pp! and if I say that it was wrong BUT then it'll look like I support shootings!

gee, what should I do to save my own ass in this situation? integrity be damned, I'll just be quiet!

Just sent PP a donation. And I am proud of it.

27. PP has never let me down

You never know how many of these charities will use the money. PP is my favorite donation every year.

Bump

[Kath1]

28. Same here.

My favorite donation because I know from experience what they do.

29. Choice is a litmus test for me politically. K&R

If a candidate is against it, they don't get my vote.

[colsohlibgal]

30. I Couldn't Be More With Them As Well

What they actually provide the vast majority of the time has been totally misrepresented by the right to life extremists and the MSM has not pointed that out.

I used them in my younger days as well because I didn't want a child before I was ready and in a good position to provide for she or he.

The nut balls have become more extreme now right down to thinking contraception is a no no.

Of course a comfortable percentage of right to lifers are just fine with capital punishment, even with the fact that we have without a doubt executed innocent people. Or killing abortion nurses and doctors.

[Kath1]

34. My first experience with them was when they treated me for Chlamydia eons ago.

After that, I always went there for my BC pills, etc.

Yes, now the nuts don't believe in contraception, either. Must suck to be one of them.

[niyad]

31. ALWAYS!!

[Kath1]

40. Thank you, niyad!

Weren't you sickened by this? I know you must have been.

[niyad]

50. all the more so since it happened right up the street from me, I know several people who work

there, and I know a number of people who work in the area. plus, I was worried about friends who normally stop at that king sooper's after leaving the VA up the street, right about that time.

[hifiguy]

33. Damn skippy!

36. #StandWithPlannedParenthood

Christian terrorist, Richard Lewis Dear, attacks Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs. 3 dead, including a law enforcement officer, and nine wounded.

To blame, besides the terrorist and his crazy interpretation of right and wrong, is every single republican running for President, every single official voting for defunding of Planned Parenthood and every single news outlet that does not tell the truth about the false claims and outright lies spread by Christian fanatics aka, terrorists

[Kath1]

37. They all need to be held accountable!

If this does not wake us up, as women, nothing will!

[marym625]

38. it's long overdue

Women being jailed in this country for controlling their bodies, women having children taken away because they dated to go to work or school. Women being thrown into poverty because of outrageous laws like "welfare reform" and the bankruptcy bill. And we just sit down and shut up.

No more.

[Kath1]

39. Glad you feel the same.

We can't just shut up, sit down and take it anymore. This is at critical mass. We either stand up for our rights NOW or watch them go away.

[marym625]

41. la rage

[Kath1]

42. Thank you for turning me on to that.

Excellent song and video.

Yeah, i am feeling the rage now.

[marym625]

44. Someone here turned me on to it

It's now my go to protest song.

Glad you like it

[Kath1]

45. I LOVE it!

Thank you, sister!

46. Solidarity!

[Kath1]

47. Yes!

PEACE, my friend!

[Gothmog]

53. I also stand with Planned Parenthood

[Kath1]

58. All of the criticism aimed at Planned Parenthood really disturbs me.

When I was in my late teens and early 20's they were the ONLY health care I had.
