There goes that projection thingy again. What I post is factual. Your posts usually have a helping teaspoon of spin with a heavy dose of made up bullshit. Here is a fact for you. Because of the various, heavily edited and misleading videos and other materials, PP has been investigated by at least 8 states over the past couple of years. None of them, including the 5 states run by Republicans, found any hint of illegal action. None. Now, no doubt you will come up with some entertaining conspiracy theory about how the abortion mafia got to them and made them suppress the truth and I am all ears to hear it. You can argue about technicalities like the segregation of funds to prevent taxpayer funding of abortions, the substance of it is that if you use that money to fund contraception services, you free up other money to be used for abortions. Exactly how is that supposed to work, i-node? I know wingnut central has sent out a memo that this is a killer argument, but it lacks a lot of details, like how it works. What money is being freed up? There just isn't a lot of commonality between contraceptive services and abortion. The receptionist? The lobby? The phones? That they call it shipping and handling just doesn't matter. It sort of depends. Are the fees charged out of line of the costs? According to people who have actual knowledge of it, i.e. not you, say the fees are not out of line with break even or even a small loss. Because they are not the only supplier of human tissue for research purposes, hospitals do it to, to take one. So there are benchmarks. This is yet another nothing burger y'all get all excited about every other week. One of your outrage centers releases something that gets y'all running around in little circles waving your hands and screaming. Usually, it fades to black. Sometimes, politicians get involved, a lot of taxpayer money gets spent and... Nothing. Often because it turns out it has been O'Kiefed and just made up. Instead of being embarrassed that y'all had rushed over yet another cliff, y'all concoct a conspiracy theory about the truth really is out there, but sinister forces have hidden what really happened. It is sort of like Charlie Brown and the football. Some enticing fantasy lures you into trying just one more time. Then Reality, predictably, yanks the football away. But soon, very soon, you will be trying again...
