I am really sick and tired of the Right Wing Christians crying about their religious freedom when you all go around imposing your religious beliefs on the rest of us.
In the US, perhaps you don't know this, but we all have the right to freedom of religion which also means freedom from YOUR religion.
In this case Planned Parenthood was doing NOTHING illegal...it was a slander job by the Right Wing whose motto seems to be if you can't find anything then just make it up!
End of story.

Unfortunate that you chose to make the issue one that emphasizes ONE specific religion's approach to abortion....which is your choice, but should state the limitation of the position taken. Limitation?
Yes, contray to what some of you would like to have everybody subscribe to and support, there are many more across America who have a different outlook. Those outlooks are not constrained by partisan pandering or religious polarizing. They are simply based on the time tested concept of right and wrong.
Flaunting the fact that something is legal does not automatically make it right.
It happens to be a position that can be argued as it is here on this subject.
If one wants to argue legality, how about applying it to the edited videos. They were not illegal. They did not change the facts or the circumstances about what was being done by PP. They are exploiting the limits of the law to kill unborn children. They are purposefully managing pregnancies for gender and or specific part aquisition. The are birthing the fetus and then proceeding to butcher it in a manner consistent with obtaining the best possible parts with the least damage.
I suggest you make a case not using whether it is legal or not; and to look broader than one religion that happens to disagree with you completely.
And look across what most people think about the process PP uses to gain the parts they need. It is not right to be killing human beings to "harvest" parts like so much parsley. And I would suggest most people given the a complete picture of what is being done will, like the rest of us, be disgusted at what some would do while hiding behind the law which states it is "legal".
The majority of us do not support being legal makes it right.
So maybe a discussion can ensue without the usual name calling, partisan, religious, race compartmentalizing.
Have your opinion. Also allow there are others.
