In the 2008 Presidential election, 70.4 million women voted vs a paltry 60.7 million men.
What keeps women from holding more offices in the federal government? They certainly have the numbers at the polls.
You can only vote for who's on the ballot. The point is to get the power. To win.
Women are still dismissed as less qualified then men in leadership.
Check out the percentages on leadership.
I'm a man. I whole heartedly agree women need to be in more leadership positions.
I think the world would be a lot more peaceful.

Regardless of your feelings, its still a federal crime to buy or sell body parts.
It's not illegal to charge a fee for their storage and transfer, though, which is exactly what PP is doing.

Why are men so interested in Planned Parenthood?
Why do men think it is their right to legislate women's bodies?
100 Dollar Bills are sexless.
The full video of the lunch meeting, over two hours long and released by the Center for Medical Progress, shows something very different from what these critics claim. Clearly, the shorter version was edited to eliminate statements by Dr. Nucatola explaining that Planned Parenthood does not profit from tissue donation, which requires the clear consent of the patient. Planned Parenthood affiliates only accept money — between $30 and $100 per specimen, according to Dr. Nucatola — to cover costs associated with collecting and transporting the tissue. “This is not something with any revenue stream that affiliates are looking at,” she said. Under federal law, facilities may be reimbursed for costs associated with fetal tissue donation, like transportation and storage.

The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) had inspected PP two weeks prior (and many times before), and never had an issue with the trimester week measurement. But now...
Planned Parenthood Fires Back
EVERY source I've seen says the 2nd trimester begins in the 13th or 14th week... I wonder where the AHCA got this 12-week deadline... Makes me wonder who's pushing these investigations and why PP didn't know about them previously.

I'm still finding this witch hunt on a service that helps so many women and families disgusting.
That's all I have to say.
Regardless of your thoughts on PP it doesn't mean they are above regulations.
People can be as pissed as they want but if they are finding issues then shouldn't you be happy they are being brought under proper procedure?
You should be happy they are doing more to protect those women you were talking about shouldn't you?
Of course everyone should follow regulations. But we all know what this is really about, don't we.
It's about those ridiculous edited YouTube videos. Secondly it's about taking away womens rights and services supplied to women.
They arnt trying .to improve the services, they want to close them down.

Unless you can provide me with a convenient link to a source, trusted by both the left and the right, which proves the videos were deceptively edited, I consider your claims to be false.
I can be obtuse, as well.

thats the tired old excuse they use....
Fact is you can watch the full versions, they put them out there for everyone to see, because they say the exact same thing, its just longer!
Half the people who say "oh its heavily edited video" have never bothered to watch it, OR the full version.....and they count on people NOT doing it.....
News flash, the information doesnt change in the longer version
Stop the lies

Yes, the information and context changes in the full versions. The short versions are edited that way for a reason.
