Yes, F&F did...your Attorney General has "ramped it up" since then though, it's safe to say, yes?
Alas this thread isn't really about Fast and Furious, it's more about our "leaders" and their morals...or lack thereof.

Well you're obviously against abortions. And, you think one who isn't, is immoral.
And that part about a woman's right to control her body and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold that right, is a side issue with no standing.
Then what's to talk about?
Except your misrepresentation of the facts. They, his wife and her sisters that is, don't own the abortion clinic, They own the building in which an abortion clinic is located. It seems they inherited it.
What to do when your relatives leave you a messy asset?
You sir seem to have an agenda. a mission even

Some have apparently not learned that government officials are constantly involved in schemes that are considered conflicts of interests. Many became aware of this during the financial crisis, when it became apparent that there were so many connections between treasury officials and large financial institutions. This is just how the government works, although it was never supposed to be this way. Are these the types of people you want representing you?
There is no system in place to protect the people from the government, as the government simply walks all over any measures that were put in place long ago. This is why the 2nd amendment is so important, considering there will come a day when its purpose will be realized. This is speculation, but it is not far off from fact, as all one must do is look to history to predict the future. Those who are elected are the same people who will lie, cheat, and steal, especially from the "people," and they are usually the opposite of the way they present themselves to be on the campaign trail. There are many reforms that could be put in place to prevent these kinds of things, but the sad part is that to fix the system all we would really have to do is exercise the rights and enforce the laws that are already on the books. Sure some new ones need to be created, but mainly they just need to be enforced. Businesses are too intertwined with politics, and who suffers when this happens? Not those in the government, but the regular people, you and I.

So since I believe all religious folks are just brainwashed fools...no debate can be had..until they seek professional help.
As you can see in the chart atop this post, abortion services account for about 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities. That’s less than cancer screening and prevention (16 percent), STD testing for both men and women (35 percent), and contraception (also 35 percent). About 80 percent of Planned Parenthood’s users are over age 20, and 75 percent have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty line. Planned Parenthood itself estimates it prevents more than 620,000 unintended pregnancies each year, and 220,000 abortions. It’s also worth noting that federal law already forbids Planned Parenthood from using the funds it receives from the government for abortions.
So though the fight over Planned Parenthood might be about abortion, Planned Parenthood itself isn’t about abortion. It’s primarily about contraception and reproductive health. And if Planned Parenthood loses funding, what will mainly happen is that cancer screenings and contraception and STD testing will become less available to poorer people. Folks with more money, of course, have many other ways to receive all these services, and tend to get them elsewhere already.

^^^Translation: I cant engage in a civil discussion with people I dont agree with so I will just call them names and then make dismissive comments.
Sound about right, tough guy?
Originally posted by Nicks87 I love how liberals talk about violating a woman's right to choose to kill her unborn child but then fight to TAKE AWAY the right to keep and bear arms by American citizens.
I've never killed anyone with my guns but how many children have women killed with abortions? Millions?
