Planned Parenthood sending out Anthrax Hoax letters?

[Iwentsouth]

HARTFORD, Conn. -- For two years, Planned Parenthood Federation sent out fundraising letters in envelopes designed to mimic threatening mailings that had been received by women's clinics across the country. The envelopes, which appeared to have handwritten addresses but no return addresses, were meant to educate people about the escalating number of mail threats directed at clinics.

Then anthrax bacteria showed up in letters to New York and Washington.Amid nationwide worry about suspicious mail, Planned Parenthood stopped the campaign, and 200,000 letters scheduled to be mailed in November never went out. It would have been too easy for people to confuse Planned Parenthood's letter with real threats, said Ann Glazier, the federation's director of security.

Lefy Wing Wackos make Right Wing Wackos pale in comparison. Planned Parenthood whose roots are racists in nature are as wacko as they come.

since when is planned parenthood wacko?

right to life is way more wacko if you ask me... they say they're just against abortion, but they're also against birth control in general!

if you want some wacko liberal group, look at greenpeace or the earth liberation front.

Planned parenthood claims to be a "pro-choice" group - But do you consider it a "choice" when all they really want to do is support abortion? Do you call that a choice? A choice would be picking from a list of several things to do, Ex: Abortion, keep it, adoption, etc.

Not true!



The person that started Planned Parenthood was a Nazi sympathiser. It was started to promote the abortion [killing, murder] of minorities because they were a burden on society.

You'd find that hard to believe with all the money they spend lobbying...

Ok, i'm done with this thread, it's just gonna be a flame war.

Not true!

well, i'll tell you why i think so. i heard the president or whoever is the head, on a radio show, and after being grilled by the hosts, she finally admitted that she didn't really like the idea of birth control either. not to mention, they are all against the morning after pill, which works the exact same way as the regular birth control pill (they used to think that it prevented the egg from implanting itself, but now they've found otherwise).

and the person that started volkswagon was a nazi. better stop buying those cars...

they're just trying to keep the option there. they don't need to lobby on anything else, like birth control, because nobody's trying to abolish it.

Especially with the premise that Planned Parenthood is behind anthrax hoax letters

Personal opinion! She is not a queen!

You mean the VW was started to persecute Jews?

no but it was started to show the german people that the nazi party was bringing about a good change in their lives. my point is this, the origins are irrelevant, i think it's safe to say that as things stand, planned parenthood is not about making sure minorities don't have children.

All the little blurb says is that PP halted sending letters because they send ones similar to the ones that contained anthrax. What's the beef? Now this has degenerated into a whole PP flame war. :frown:

that may be true that they do not target miniorties. They don't want anyone to have babies!
