Well- Peter beat me to it. But the point is the data show that even if the use of contraception prevents an abortion over here, it leads to multiple abortions over there. So if there is a net increase in abortions, are you saying tha is a good thing? And the PP business model is set up to get get young woman on contraception early, because they know the earleir they get them on contraception, the greater the likelihood they will get at least one, if not more, abortions out of them.
I'm sorry, but that fails best construction. I doubt Planned Parenthood sees abortions as a good thing to work toward even though they do not see them as a bad thing.
That's like saying oncologists want to get patients hooked on smoking so they can get lung cancer treatment out of them later.

That's an apples to oranges comparison. Oncologists are
individual people. Planned Parenthood is an
organization. Generally speaking, individual health care workers are motivated by personal reasons, usually altruistic. That's a broad, general statement, and there are plenty of exceptions, but overall, I think it's reasonably accurate. Generally speaking, institutions dedicated to health care services are motivated by obligations to shareholders and/or paid staff. The same disclaimers apply, but so does the assertion that my observation is reasonably accurate.
Mike:
Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill and has a profit motive, pure and simple. I've linked previously to documents which show that they're chomping at the bit to get their hands on insurance dollars now given the HHS mandate. I've had multiple firsthand experiences dealing with PP. It's all about the $.
OK, I believe you two even though part of me still does not want to do so.
I guess when I do hang out with liberals they must still be fairly moderate wine-and-brie ones who paint this as a regrettable choice that should be left to a woman.
Considering how fiery my conversations with them are, I doubt any relationship with a true liberal would last long.
Mike
And that's another example of confusing individuals' opinions and motivations with institutions' opinions and motivations, not to mention the assertions of lock-step, group-think on the part of people in a certain self-selected group.
