    The mental image of 2 literal anthropomorphized steamrollers looking at each other with weird looks and thought bubbles, "How does this work?" was great, thanks.

    Instead of pretending this has anything to do with reality. Just be honest and admit that you disagree with planned parenthood existing and you would agree with any lie that will punish them. Because regardless of the truth, trying to stop a villainous organization is justifying the lying it takes to stop it.

    Like my brother said when we were discussing this, the sheep will still think they sell baby parts cause they can't think for themselves.

    The funniest part is this is Greg Abbot who had his hand in the Center for Bullshit Medical Progress getting indicted on felony charges. Hopefully they get locked up for a long time.
    There were people in my Health Policy/Law class that actually thought PP was selling baby organs to people for transplant...

    There is something of a problem with arguing with someone like him. Trying to use facts against him can apparently just make him hold on to his opinions even stronger.

    Apparently in her campaign materials, the Houston DA described herself as a "proud pro-life Texan mother of two." If the proud pro-life Texan couldn't find enough evidence of wrongdoing to bring Planned Parenthood to trial (and it's notoriously easy to indict anyone but a police officer), then there must seriously be NO evidence to support the accusations.

    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    That's sort of the thing. I believe that a lot of people's opinion of PP is based on their stance on abortion and not actually facts behind the controversy. I think that's primarily due to seeing PP or abortion as evil and justifying any scruitny, regardless of facts, as necessary to stop the evil. It's kinda like Al Capone being put away for tax evasion, instead of the crimes that he couldn't be convicted for, but without the legitimacy of his tax evasion. People willingly will justify a lie, if it means stopping a greater evil.

    If people would just admit or realize that's what happening, then it would save a lot of arguments. There is nothing that can be said or done on a forum to fix such a bias. But, at least acknowledging it, will move the argument away from fruitlessly trying to argue facts of an event. Facts are meaningless if that's the case...

    I find it ironic people screaming truths and facts often ignore them when it doesn't favor their own arguments, but what ever, CHEERS!
