    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            You're welcome. Again, I'm not especially interested in PP, or its services, and I'm quite aware their stats require processing. The STD/STI tests, for instance, are mostly associated with their cheap gyne exams, which are themselves almost entirely associated with their cheap contraceptives, which is what normal people think of when they think of planning their parenthood.

            PP is a long way down the list of where women go when they're looking for an abortion. This is readily available information. It takes a bit more work to figure out where women actually go for abortion services.
            Types of Providers and Abortion Caseloads

            Clinics.

            The 378 specialized abortion clinics accounted for 21% of all abortion providers, but performed 70% of all abortions in 2008 (Table 4). Most of these facilities reported 1,000 or more abortions during the year.

            That's using a definition of specialty clinic distinguished as half or more services being abortions. That means ... not Planned Parenthood clinics.

            I'm gob-smacked that folks who are willing to go to the trouble of packing up the kids for a fun-filled day of terrorizing women going in for cheap birth control pills, which is mostly what you'll find inside a clinic, can be that oblivious about who it is they're shouting at.

            So thanks for the nomination, but I can't compete with that level of jackassery.

            For reference, please note the Guttmacher Institute is still the best source I've found for statistics addressing my principle focus on reducing abortion rates. It's also the source of the above study.

            If anyone is familiar with a better source, please feel free to let me know.

                That means, by your own admission, PP clinics which focus on providing abortion services, which means ... PP clinics - just not all of them. I'm not a math wiz, but if 70% of abortions are performed at PP clinics, then they sort of have to rank at the top, yes?

                I've never had much inclination to picket anyplace, but I can't imagine that it would be much fun. This is also the first time I've heard the allegation that such people picket any old PP clinic, rather than focus on those which provide abortions (such information, presumably, being readily available). Maybe you could point me to information demonstrating that people regularly picket the wrong place.

                  It might, if the gold could be melted down. Otherwise the source is sort of obvious.

                      You blew it in #112, OBP. The stats show clearly that 70% of abortions are NOT performed at Planned Parenthood. Nor does it say that the other 30% are all performed at PP.

                          It is only hate speech if you are a conservative or a Christian. Advocating violence against police, for example, is for the most part ignored.
