Debating would take facts and to you that is a dirty word. So next time you decide to put your mouth in gear and your brain in neutral precede your comments with IMO or IMHO so we all have fair warning you are spouting nonsense.
PPFA conducts roughly 300,000 abortions each year, among 3 million people served.
That's 1 million abortions every 3.33 years.
I *like* planned parenthood, I give money to them once in a while, and I am pro abortion, but you are such a miserable example of a human that I can't countenance you imagining that this BS is "winning" an argument.
I don't support an organization that kills unborn children(whatever their race) and sends women back into whatever unhealthy and/or irresponsible situations that brought them there in the first place armed with nothing more than a pill, some condoms, and the promise of some free/cheap check ups or abortion(s)
I know that this probably won't make a lick of difference to you, but I have to point out that PP is basically doing triage. Society as a whole would need to change to offer a) better sex education b) better birth control c) better support for women and the children who are already here before anything would change. So until that happens, they're doing good work by providing help and care for women, up to and including abortions (which are only 3% of their work, but everyone seems to love ignoring that.)
America was founded by racists as well. Racists who believed that black folks weren't human and actively participated in the genocide of Native Americans. Sanger was deeply flawed, but PP itself has moved past that.
I'm really uncomfortable with the idea that a woman who gets an abortion is automatically unhealthy or irresponsible. Choosing to get an abortion is one way to taking responsibility for what happened, whether or not you approve of it. Women who have sex, casually, in a serious relationship, within marriage, whatever, don't have to justify why. There's nothing wrong with it. The reasons why women choose abortion are as varied as the women themselves. How is judging them helping them?
You know, that's a good point. Do you think they even realize why PP was created in the first place?! Hint: It wasn't to help poor single women in distress.

Things, times, contexts change. Those things are important.
