oh yeah, I forget. 98% of the woman-haters on this thread are from divorced dudes crying about "free-loading" ex wives.

boo-fucking-hoo.

this sure colors your idiocy regarding "gamergate" or whatever that is.

While I hadn't posted in the gamer gate thread or this one I couldn't help noticing blue max's posts.

I had it down to shot down by every woman he asked out or ex wife got the house. Guess that question is answered.

Way to avoid the actual issue that all these services exist for women only. And they're always fighting for more.

Idiocy, my ass. At least I stay on topic.

That's not true at all. Such services exist for the custodial parent of either sex. Most of the time, that's women, which is an entirely different subject.

Because in capitalism there are winners and losers and you are considered a winner?

You have ample access to all of them. Quit your job, and become homeless, clothless, and starving, and you will get them. But you know that, you just don't want to.

So, the reason you don't get them for free is you don't want what someone else will give you. You want to choose what shelter, food, and clothing you get.

Are you saying PP gives out inferior condoms to those available at the store? That sounds worse than not giving them out at all.

Often times they do. But it is still a win, because as you can see if you give out a condom that is 10% less effective but that means that condoms will be used 50% more often you have made a big win.

Ah, the perks of being on welfare living in the projects eating box meals, free condoms.

I think he was talking about all of the other things we get from working, serving the Job Creators!

Well, insofar as they make that possible, anyway.

Because the only possible reason to be anti-feminist is bitterness. Actually that's one of the favorite go-to responses feminists use when faced with opposition. "You're just gay" "You're just ugly" "You're just bitter" "no one wants you" "You're just a loser."

just just just... minimizing the person saying it is just another insult. Discredit the person, you destroy the message.

Because if you debate the actual topic with actual facts, you lose.

Inferior condoms are still as effective, they're just very basic and have a huge reduction in how good they feel in use. (Good for inexperienced teenagers, I suppose.)

Hope you found a good cheese to go with that.

Really? I talk with plenty of women who would be considered feminist and we always have interesting talks. We don't agree on most points but it's never gotten disrespectful.

Unless you are talking about online. If that's the case, those are people with agendas trying to get a rise out of you. You ignore them.

What is stupid, is PP charges for all of their services, and it isn't really cheaper than a regular clinic. This probably discourages people from using them.

Yawn indeed...$34>free.


Don't you have another troll thread to runaway from?
PP charges $100 to $150 for an HIV test here, it isn't free at all. They charge for everything here. The test they use you can buy for $50 at the pharmacy.

Quick!

Does Planned Parenthood have a scale of prices based on household income and children?!?

How about the local pharmacy?

You can go to their website it is fairly clear the services and testing are NOT free. They are expensive.

People shouldn't need to provide invasive proof of low income to receive services.

There is a clinic here that provides free STD testing without proof of indigency. That is how PP should do it.

Way to not answer the question.

Does PP offer reduced or free services depending on income level and children in the household?

Yes

No

(Hint: the answer is depending on income and children, your services can be totally free. But you knew that).

Anyone in California whose income is low enough to be free would automatically qualify for medicaid. They can already get free testing through medicaid.

OMG, agreeing with DCal....:eek:...but I am.

My guess is that PP is "for profit". Imagine that.


Wife works for a non-profit that gives pregnancy tests, parenting classes, mentoring for young fathers, financial classes, diapers, toys, cribs, etc, ect, and her/their time is mostly free. Sadly, they do not have the $$ to do more...STD tests and all.

Oh, and they're pro life....NVM.
