Maybe more like, "in addition to 6 million Jews Hitler killed millions of homosexuals, mentally-challenged, various Slavic ethnic groups, etc...." Nothing like parking tickets at all.

Ummm... no... the point of Mrs. Shrier's article is to expose PP's distribution of hormones to young girls; but when compared to the millions of babies PP slaughters every year, this seems almost meaninglessly trivial... like Hitler's presumed unpaid parking tickets.

The chemical castration of a generation of children is worse than double parking.

Those children survive their castration, right? So, no, not in comparision to the 1.2 million children nationally we take to PP to be dismembered.

When you say, тАЬsurvive, тАЭ are you sure that they do? We condemn the experimental medical, procedures that wee done on healthy people by the Nazis but also the Japanese (Fugu Plan) on the Chinese. Why are you trying to distinguish between mutilation and death? It is a false comparison. The medical community should put an end to it as their oath is, тАЬFirst do no harm.тАЭ But, it appears that there are very few doctors involved. The second help would be to push for legislation that prevents clinics from allowing their тАЬcounselorsтАЭ to be affiliated with them in any way. They must be completely separated from any profit or arrangement with PP. In my state a private doctor cannot refer a patient to obtain an x-ray or MRI at a business in which they has a financial interest. Similarly, requiring licensed counseling from an independent professional, preferably a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist not in any way tied to PP would probably get the help to these obviously troubled teens. If underaged, it might be good practice to require their parents or legal guardians to be counseled by the same unaffiliated professionals who will be required to explain the lifelong harm that may occur for a condition that usually resolves itself in a few years.

Perhaps not so meaninglessly trivial considering post-op suicide rates that reach 20 times that of comparable teens... at least not so if they were targeting your child.

"Not targeting my child"? Why did you think I'm reading this blog? And see above reply: most kids survive hormone distribution, right? The abortion survival rate is well below 0.1%.

As far as IтАЩm aware, a womenтАЩs eggs donтАЩt invade a manтАЩs testicles and take his sperm hostage in order to fertilise themselves. A man ejects his jizz into a woman, which then causes a pregnancy. If men were more responsible about where they put their jizz, there would be far less, or no, need for abortions. Do you target men in your anti-abortion vitriol, or just women? I mean, women are easy targets, arenтАЩt they - men are much harder.

Abortion survival rate is nil for the unborn!

Embryos and fetuses aren't babies. And those of you who employ this hyperbole must know, deep down, how ridiculous it is.

You wouldn't mistake a fertilized hen's egg for a chick, and if you were in an IVF clinic on fire and could only save one, you'd choose an actual baby over a tray of a dozen frozen embryos. Because *you know the difference.*

So a little bit of mutilation is ok but just not a lot?
