The GOP still has nothing to show for its anti-Planned Parenthood campaign

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. · Tuesday, September 29th 2015 at 8:02PM · 3237 views
By Dana Milbank Opinion writer September 29 at 5:34 PM At this point Republicans may wish to consider aborting to protect the health of the party. They have been going after Planned Parenthood over the past few months like so many Captain Ahabs. They threatened to shut down the government to defund the group. Their insistence on a Planned Parenthood showdown drove House Speaker John Boehner to resign. They’re about to appoint a special committee to investigate Planned Parenthood. The party’s presidential candidates have made Planned Parenthood a central part of the campaign, and House Republicans are manufacturing new legislative vehicles to cut off the group. And what do they have to show for it? A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds that Americans have a more favorable view of Planned Parenthood than of any other entity tested, including the Republican Party and presidential candidates. The group’s favorable/unfavorable impression, 47 percent to 31 percent, is actually up slightly from July. What’s more, 61 percent oppose eliminating federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Even among the 35 percent who support defunding, only 9 percent favor shutting down the government to do it.

Watch Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, get busted in his so-called FACTS on Plan Parenthood: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/th...

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, September 29th 2015 at 9:42PM

Watch Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, he was in a hurry to get busted for LYING about the source of his facts but to find out he got he fact from American Untied for Life and not from Plan Parenthood owns books.

This is another investigation that went nowhere, that fail on it face. The republican party wants to shut down the country over this mess. WOW!

Steve Williams Tuesday, September 29th 2015 at 11:06PM

Many American taxpayers don't want to be forced to pay for killing babies. But you seem to be okay with that. Why?

--- they should have more MEN in EQUAL positions of Responsibility for Life after conception

but deacon, a video is a video

did you see it...............?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, September 30th 2015 at 8:32PM

Did you see how Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah got caught LYING about where he got his FACTS and when it was pointed out to Rep. Jason Chaffetz, that the name of American United for Life was on the bottom of that very same slide he LIED about, you could have bought his for a dime.

Listen I don't care if you don't support Planned Parenthood Robert or Steve but don't support a LIE as your reason.

If you do support that LIE, then you have no support at all to base your claim on.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM

The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:43AM

It's all part and parcel.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 11:08AM

Then you have drank the cool aid Steven, You can't show any proof that Parenthood did any of that BS, can you? How much time do you need? I want you to bring your proof to the this floor for debate, can you do this ?

I will stand-by for your proof Steven and if you can not prove your statement then I want you to be a man and tell Black In America that you cannot find any wrong doing to support your claims, that is the deal, if you are willing to accept it, can you do that Steven?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:13PM

Why do you support genocide Brother Deacon?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 9:39AM

By the way Steven, I see that you did not answer any of my questions like: You can't show any proof that Parenthood did any of that BS you said, can you? How much time do you need? I want you to bring your proof to the this floor for debate, can you do this ? What is the matter Steven, you do see these questions.

I will answer your question. I support the right for a woman to make that choice? That is a right and a freedom given to all American's. The chairman did not have to LIE about where he got his facts from, as you witness him being busted out on nationwide T.V. For LYING about where he got his FACTS from.

STEVEN, why did the chairman LIE about his FACTS? Now most important, why do you believe in this LIE?


Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 2:32PM

Hey Steven,

Are you going to answer these questions or what?

Steve Williams Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 4:31PM

Brother Deacon,

I haven't witnessed the chairman. Have you ever taken your wife to a Planned Parenthood to abort a child that might have been yours or might have been another man's, who in any event didn't want to have the baby because she was addicted to cocaine?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 6:16PM

Brother Steven,

You are running from those questions like a man set free from jail. This blog is all about this LIE https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/th...
but you really want to change the subject.

You have stated that the tax payer is paying for abortions by founding Plan Parenthood, I say this is a LIE, proof me wrong and show me that the tax payer is founding abortions through Plan Parenthood, can you do that?

Steve Williams Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 7:23PM

You want my opinion on the opinion piece?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 2nd 2015 at 8:20PM

Show my your proof that the tax payer is paying for abortions through Plan Parenthood? Also can you show me your proof of your statement of The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood: YOUR WORDS "Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support." Thursday, October 1st 2015

Steve Williams Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 6:51AM

I have have all the proof I need. Planned Parenthood should not receive Federal subsidies.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 7:29AM

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 4:51PM


Are you talking about that slide that chairman Chaffetz used as he sited, which he said came from plan parenthood's Account department? Is that what you are using as reference?

Steve Williams Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 7:59PM

I haven't witnessed Chaffetz. I'm talking about Planned Parenthood's records. Have you seen them?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 8:33PM

This blog is about how the chairman got busted by the director of Plan Perenthood. Steven, I see if you click on the link that I provided for you, you would see that the chairman investigating Plan perenthood has found nothing in his report.

Now if you found some evidence that Plan Parenthood was doing wrong as this so-called video claims, then show it and then we can take that evidence to the chairman doing the investigation, OK!

Iam standing by for your evidence Steven.

Steve Williams Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 8:45PM

Is this what you're talking about?

Chaffetz flashed a chart on the screens showing that since 2010, the number of abortions at Planned Parenthood has surpassed the number of its “cancer screenings and prevention services.”

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 3rd 2015 at 11:38PM

Steven, review the comments and answer my questions and you will know exactly what This blog is about.

Steve Williams Sunday, October 4th 2015 at 7:54AM

I already did that. All I can see this blog is about is more Democrat propaganda.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, October 4th 2015 at 10:30AM

Then you saw how the chairman got busted for LYING on nation wide T.V.! Can't no body make this up on the depth the Republican Party will go, using taxpayer monie to LIE, Cheat and Still from the American people and people like youself will let them do it by justifying calling it propaganda.

Didn't nobody put that look on that chairman's face but him when he himself realized that he was busted for LYING!
Steven, why are you trying to protect this kind of BS?

Oh! Before I go, I am still waiting to see your evidence of the wrong doings at Plan Parenthood. Show me your FACTS on your next reply, OK?

Here’s your latest comment, you have tried your best to run from your pathetic words. Have you looked at anything but these sound bites?

Steven, I have asked you on numerous occasions to show us your proof, even after you said that you have all the proof you need that proves wrong doings at Plan Parenthood. Now you can show us nothing, naught, zero, zippo but yet you say that you have all of the proof you need.

Steven you are bearing witness to operation Republican Party propaganda machine and you want to be the poster boy for it, by believing it’s LIE’s, when you cannot find any facts to back-up anything they spewed out for you to base your belief’s on.

I have given you a few days to explain why you believe in this statement: “YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”
Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM

You have ran away from your claim for all to see, who you are!!!

It is now time for you to fess-up and tell Black in America that you have found no proof for believing whatsoever, what you said on Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM. Just one more time for the record: “YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

WOW! Steven…

Steven, I am calling on you to be that man and break free from that LIE which binds you.

Steve Williams Monday, October 5th 2015 at 8:32AM

While longstanding federal policy has restricted the use of taxpayer funds for most abortions, most Americans would be surprised to learn that no federal law permanently applies this “policy” to all federal funds. Instead, this policy is implemented through a patchwork of annual appropriations “riders,” as well as regulations and executive orders.

For example, Congress has annually renewed the Hyde Amendment for nearly four decades. The Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of funds appropriated through the Labor, Health and Human Services (LHHS) appropriations bill to pay for most abortions or abortion coverage.

The Hyde Amendment, however, like other appropriations riders that restrict abortion funding, applies only to a specific funding stream, not to all federal funding. This policy patchwork is riddled with loopholes, and requires reenacting these provisions annually. The reoccurring debates over these riders waste lawmakers’ time and expose widely supported restrictions to attacks.

The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” is significant because it would eliminate the need for Congress every year to pass the Hyde Amendment and similar appropriations riders. In addition to making existing riders permanent in law, it would apply across the entire federal government.

For example, the bill would close abortion-funding loopholes created by the “Affordable Care Act” (ACA) that have opened the door to direct taxpayer funding for abortion.

http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/hea...

Steve Williams Monday, October 5th 2015 at 8:51AM

Sadly, and at last, a new report by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) has revealed that the Obama administration has utterly failed to keep its promises to prevent taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions in insurance plans offered through exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). And the administration accepts no responsibility for this failure. Given the ACA’s extensive list of shortcomings and controversies, the GAO report may elicit little more than a yawn from the media. Yet, the report is stunning in that it documents how the Obama administration has abandoned and even undermined the very promises that enabled the health-care legislation to pass the U.S. House of Representatives. When objections to taxpayer funding for abortion or abortion coverage nearly brought down the bill, it took an eleventh hour “compromise” — statutory language provided by Senator Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) and a promised executive order — to save the ACA. Now, over four years later, the GAO report confirms that the abortion deal was effectively meaningless. We hate to say we told you so, but here goes: We told you so. At the heart of Senator Nelson’s language is an accounting mechanism intended to ensure that federal funds are not used to directly pay for abortions. Issuers of insurance plans that cover abortions in state exchanges are supposed to collect from enrollees a “separate payment” for abortion coverage (i.e., the abortion premium) and a “separate payment” for everything else. Federal funds should only be comingled with the second pot of money. The language in the law is unambiguous — “separate payments” are required. Yet, insurance issuers are not collecting separate payments. In fact, the Obama administration is telling issuers that they do not need to collect two checks. When issuers seek guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), they are told that they can merely itemize the amount of a premium that will be used to pay for abortions. However, insurance issuers are not doing even this — the GAO found that insurance issuers are not itemizing the abortion premiums nor sending a separate bill for the premiums. Further, under the ACA the abortion premium is supposed to be “segregated” from any federal subsidies, with issuers filing “segregation plans” with their state health-insurance commissioner explaining how they will maintain the integrity of taxpayer funding. Astonishingly, while the “segregation plans” were not the focus of their report, GAO uncovered evidence that at least one state department of insurance was unaware that issuers needed to file their plans for segregating the abortion premium from taxpayer funds with the state. At least two issuers indicated that they had not filed segregation plans, and at least one was not aware of any direction by the state to file such a plan. CMS told GAO that neither the ACA nor CMS regulations “require” an issuer to file a segregation plan. Yet, President Obama waxed eloquent in his executive order about how this accountability would ensure that taxpayer funds are not used for abortion. The GAO notes that if insurance issuers do not file such plans, “It is unclear how state departments of insurance are to ensure that issuers are complying with [the ACA’s] segregation requirements.” Exactly.

Steve Williams Monday, October 5th 2015 at 9:13AM

States that do not require these “segregation plans” cannot know if and how much taxpayer funding is being used to pay for abortions. Insurance issuers who are not collecting separate payments or even itemizing abortion premiums are not likely to be keeping abortions premiums separate from federal funds. So, abortions are being paid for out of federally subsidized premiums. That is taxpayer funding for abortion, people. What was that promise that President Obama made back in 2009, again?

Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

I am still waiting on you to man up.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 5th 2015 at 9:32AM

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 5th 2015 at 12:44PM

Sorry Steven, you got to be losing your damn mind, that was not my argument at all. look at you, you can't find any wrong doing by PlanParenthood like those Lying right wing conservative points wants you to believe but yet you now know that these are LIES and you want to whole on to those LIES anyway.

I have given you a few days to explain why you believe in this statement: “YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”
Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM and nothing and you will not be man enough to drop that LIE.

So, you continue to LIE to the people of Black In America even after you have been busted for telling that LIE.

When you run and hold on to that bold face LIE, with no FACTS to back up what you have said and you ran away from your own words the way you did then, yes that hit a nerve.

When you do that, then your action sends out a clear message of your character which I held you up as a upright individual but to see were you hold yourself is appalling, yes, that did hit a nerve.

I look at you from the content of your character and not the color of your skin and that's what burned up many here on Black In America but for you not to stand by your own words, reminded me of other so-called members of the privilege class in this country that have LIED to me to my face. Now when the truth was brought out into the light, was not man enough to admit that you have no FACTS to back up this stamen:

“YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

It really looks like you don't neither? Why are you here?

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 6th 2015 at 8:42PM

The GOP represents its voters. These voters are disturbed by Planned Parenthood's mission. What I saw on that video was a butcher shop. Have you seen the video?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 6th 2015 at 9:29PM

Steven, to the untrained eye, any operation on the human body would remind them of a butcher shop, that is your emotions blinding you.

The Facts are: ew Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds that Americans have a more favorable view of Planned Parenthood than of any other entity tested, including the Republican Party and presidential candidates. The group’s favorable/unfavorable impression, 47 percent to 31 percent, is actually up slightly from July. What’s more, 61 percent oppose eliminating federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Even among the 35 percent who support defunding, only 9 percent favor shutting down the government to do it.

61 percent of the American People oppose any elimination of funding of Plan Parenthood, that means The majority rules Steven. What you feel, really don't matter, it is what you can prove that counts.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 6th 2015 at 9:34PM

If the GOP represented the voters, then the GOP would disband this investigation into plan parenthood NOW!

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 6th 2015 at 10:19PM

Americans remain divided on the abortion issue, with 47% of U.S. adults describing their views as "pro-choice" and 46% as "pro-life," continuing a pattern seen since 2010.

Then you will see befor then, that the The Republican Party is not for you or the middle classes of Americans.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 7th 2015 at 7:50PM

House Republicans are poised to create a special committee to investigate a wide range of practices related to abortions and fetal tissue procurement in the latest and perhaps most lasting consequence of an activist campaign targeting Planned Parenthood.

A bill to be considered on the House floor Wednesday would create a new 13-member select Energy and Commerce subcommittee. Three House panels have already investigated Planned Parenthood since July, when anti-abortion activists first released undercover videos depicting some of the group’s executives discussing its handling of fetal tissue for research.

But the new committee of eight Republicans and five Democrats would have a broad charge to investigate abortion practices and new resources to do so, including the power to subpoena documents and testimony.

I've been anti-Planned Parenthood for 15 years now. I've seen nothing to change my opinion.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 9:20AM

Since you have no evidence of taxpayers money going towards abortions and there are laws on the books to that effect, then what do you base your believe that Plan Parenthood still performs abortions with tax payer monies?

Plan Parenthood selling dead babies to mad scientists. What do you base this "MAD Scientists" Theories on? How do taxpayer monies come into play in that transaction? Since you have seen nothing to change your opinion in 15 years.

Steven, have you ever heard of the "Hyde Amendment?"

The Hyde Amendment isn't a permanent law. It's attached to appropriations bills each year. Now, show me where the use of these taxpayer subsidies by Planned Parenthood is audited.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 11:08AM

Although the exact language of the Hyde Amendment has changed over the years, the 2014 appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education contained the following limitations on federal spending for abortion that is typical of Hyde Amendment language generally:

This the LAW as it stands NOW! Do you have any evidence that Plan Parenthood BROKE THE LAW?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 3:31PM

No. I would like to see evidence that they didn't break the law. The new shouse elect committe will have the power to subpoena. It's about time.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 4:14PM

I see that you don't want to deal with your own words STEVEN: “YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM

Since you have no evidence of taxpayers money going towards abortions and there are laws on the books to that effect, then what do you base your believe that Plan Parenthood still performs abortions with tax payer monies?

Plan Parenthood selling dead babies to mad scientists. What do you base this "MAD Scientists" Theories on? How do taxpayer monies come into play in that transaction? Since you have seen nothing to change your opinion in 15 years.

How many times must you see this evidence Steven.

Indiana: Planned Parenthood Cleared Of Any Wrongdoing In The Handling Of Fetal Tissue.

South Dakota: No "Evidence Of Illegal Activity" In South Dakota At Planned Parenthood Clinic.

Georgia: Department Of Public Health Finds Planned Parenthood "Complied With The Law."

Pennsylvania: "No Evidence" Of Wrongdoing By "Any Planned Parenthood" In Pennsylvania.

Missouri: "No Evidence That Planned Parenthood's St. Louis Clinic ... Engaged In Unlawful Activity."

These are heavy Republican States which showed you evidence that they, "Plan Parenthood" did not break the LAW which included looking at their books. WOW!

What about this

I can't make this stuff up.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 9:04PM

Now, I can't find Steven for comment, what a shame.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 9:51PM

You left all the research to me. If you want to help, point me to the Planned Parenthood audits.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 9:56PM

Pennsylvania joins Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts and South Dakota as stated that have conducted reviews and found no fetal tissue sales or violations of the law.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 9:59PM

We were talking about the Hyde Amendment correct?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 8th 2015 at 11:02PM

Let us start talking about this: STEVEN: “YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

States that do not require these “segregation plans” cannot know if and how much taxpayer funding is being used to pay for abortions. Insurance issuers who are not collecting separate payments or even itemizing abortion premiums are not likely to be keeping abortions premiums separate from federal funds. So, abortions are being paid for out of federally subsidized premiums. That is taxpayer funding for abortion, people. What was that promise that President Obama made back in 2009, again?

Steven, let us stay on topic, I am talking about YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM

What you are showing me with your response are laws of states to prevent any taxpayer monies going towards abortions, this is two different topics Steven.

You still have no evidence of Plan Parenthood breaking any laws here or Plan Parenthood selling dead babies to mad scientists.

You still have not provided any evidence to support your "MAD Scientists" Theories on? How do taxpayer monies come into play in that transaction? Since you have seen nothing to change your opinion in 15 years.

You are a believer of something that his no FACTS under the Plan Parenthood program. This subject is about Plan Parenthood Steven and not what a new report by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) has revealed abortions in insurance plans offered through exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

You are a soldier on the battlefield against women's right to choose without any ammo in your weapon. This subject is about your words and believes about Plan Parenthood and not about the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

STAY FOCUS STEVEN.

Steve Williams Friday, October 9th 2015 at 9:42AM

Yes, let's stay focused.

"You are a soldier on the battlefield against women's right to choose"

I am pro choice Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 9th 2015 at 2:41PM

Steven, If this is true then why would you say thing like this: YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 9th 2015 at 4:32PM

The GOP still has nothing to show for its anti-Planned Parenthood campaign,

Steve Williams Saturday, October 10th 2015 at 1:44AM

What does Planned Parenthood have to do with being pro-choice or not?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 10th 2015 at 8:51AM

Steven, just look at you running away from your words again. if you are pro choice why would you say things like: YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 9:42AM


To be "pro-choice" is to believe that individuals have unlimited autonomy with respect to their own reproductive systems as long as they do not breach the autonomy of others.

A comprehensive pro-choice position affirms that all of the following must remain legal:•Celibacy and abstinence ;
•Contraception use ;
•Emergency contraception use ;
•Abortion, for the first two trimesters of pregnancy ; and
•Childbirth.

All of which Planned Parenthood provides. Now on Friday, October 9th 2015 at 9:42AM you said that you was Pro Choice Ron YOUR WORDS: I am pro choice Ron.

Ether you are for Plan Parenthood or not.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 15th 2015 at 8:41AM

The GOP still has nothing to show for its anti-Planned Parenthood campaign to this day.

Steve Williams Friday, October 16th 2015 at 1:12AM

Just because I'm pro-choice doesn't mean I think Planned Parenthood should be federally subsidized. The two don't go hand in hand.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 16th 2015 at 2:29AM

Plan Parenthood has more services for the poor for both men and women and not just for abortion.

If you was pro Steven, why run away from your words again and again. Answer the question Steven. if you are pro choice why would you say things like: YOUR WORDS STEVEN: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Bring forth your proof to why you believe that, you have not done that yet, why?

Steve Williams Friday, October 16th 2015 at 8:04AM

I didn't lie about anything Ron. The doctors buying baby parts and doing fetal tissue research are mad scientists, Like Dr. Frankenstein, playing God. The staff of Planned Parenthood who scrape out the baby parts are butchers. There is no transparency to the use of taxpayer dollars by Planned Parenthood and in the absence proof that they aren't used for abortions they should be withheld. And women have the right to choose to kill their unborn babies. I stand by everything I said.

Steve Williams Friday, October 16th 2015 at 8:09AM

What I don't understand is how a Christian can support killing babies.

Steve Williams Monday, October 19th 2015 at 7:29PM

I hope Biden runs.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 19th 2015 at 10:52PM

Steven, I asked you a few days ago about YOUR WORKS: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Bring forth your proof to why you believe that, you have not done that yet, why?

Steven, this is not proof!!! this is more of right wing talking points .

Bring forth your proof and stand by that. OK!!!



Steve Williams Tuesday, October 20th 2015 at 6:51AM

Define "right wing".

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 20th 2015 at 6:54AM

And Ron, why are you such a blue team cheerleader?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 20th 2015 at 11:06AM

Stop running away from your own words Steven, YOUR WORDS: The lie is that taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood don't fnd abortions. Of course they fund abortions. Planned Parenthood performs abortions, sells the dead babies to mad scientists, and receives taxpayer dollars in support.”

Bring forth your proof to why you believe that, you have not done that yet, why?

Bring forth your proof and stand by that. OK!!!
