Are you going to run a fund raiser for a conservative backed group after this? I seriously doubt it.

LJ has made a lot of irritating decisions concerning format, etc over the years and I have gritted my teeth and gone with it. But if you are going to start touting a liberal political agenda I'm going to have to consider finding another platform for my fandom work.

women's health services are not part of a liberal political agenda

Women's health services aren't (or shouldn't be), but Planned Parenthood certainly is.

so which woman's health service center will you be donating to, then? i'll let them know that you're coming.

Oh well. The Planned Parenthood in my town doesn't provide abortion services. (You can tell the provider that does, because it's behind a huge fortified security gate to discourage anti-choice extremists from bombing it.)

No one is forcing you to donate to PP or stay on LJ. As for conservative-backed groups, name one that is besieged by threats from domestic terrorists regularly. Or just donate to them and sit down.

The conservatives are the only ones who made PP a political football.

Actually, no it's not. It's conservatives that make it political.

if they did something useful instead of hating on poor people, people of color and women, i'd be okay with it.

but they don't.

Perhaps if you expanded your choice of reading and viewing material?

Wow. What a well thought out, cogent argument. Certainly makes me think better of liberals. Thank you for your kind input.

You can't come up with a serious argument in your favor that we can discuss in an adult manner, so you'll just insult me instead? Nice.
