Open Thread 7-31

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 7/31/15, 7:58 am

– Looks like a great panel.

– I just want to point out that women, in general, particularly older women, can’t win on this one. If they don’t go out of their way to at least look presentable they’re called an “old crone” and if they do they’re derided for spending so much time and money to try to look presentable. And none of it prevents the world from being casually vocal about how revolting they look look either way.

– I doubt this will keep Tim Eyman’s bullshit off the ballot. Still, at a certain point, this nonsense is just going to have to stop. It’s tough to change the state constitution for a reason.

– So the fake Planned Parenthood videos are now causing state governments to harass abortion providers that don’t even participate in the tissue donation program.

– And so, I sacrifice thee in the name of the Second Amendment!

    However, the recording and other evidence provided by the LAPD raise serious questions about the accuracy of Rall’s blog post. Based on this, the piece should not have been published.

    Rall’s future work will not appear in The Times.

    Are the rich really this naive?

    “The rich … think everyone else is like them, according to a new study. And the richer you are, the more likely you are to think that others are wealthy, too, according to the study published this month in the journal Psychological Science.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: It wouldn’t surprise me if people who pay their employees $7.25 an hour, and oppose raising the minimum wage, have no fucking concept that it’s impossible to live on $7.25 an hour — they simply expect people to work for that.

    Wingnuts are gearing up for another government shutdown — this time over Planned Parenthood

    Republicans know how bad a government shutdown over abortion would be, but Ted Cruz and Erick Erickson DGAF
    SIMON MALOY

    The big news in conservative media land over the past couple of weeks has been a series of undercover “sting” videos released by a shady antiabortion rights activist group claiming to show that Planned Parenthood sells tissues procured from aborted fetuses. As is nearly always the case with videos such as these, they’re edited to make them look far worse than they actually are. Planned Parenthood maintains that any money it receives for procuring those tissues – which have long been used in medical research – is just reimbursement for the costs associated with the procedures. None of the videos that have been released actually show Planned Parenthood doing anything illegal, but they do show representatives of the organization speaking somewhat cavalierly about a grim topic. Many of the people promoting these videos are hoping that the emotional reaction they elicit will stoke a public and political backlash against the nation’s leading provider of reproductive health services.

    Conservatives in the media and some hard-line Republicans in Congress believe they’ve come up with a plan for dealing with Planned Parenthood: shut down the government again.

    Bring it on, assholes.

    Betty Cockrum, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, said their clinics do not even participate in the tissue donation program. Wasn’t that the trust of the PP expose? So how are they harassing abortion providers that participate in the tissue donation program?

    PuddyCommentary: So what did we learn? Carl is just like every other DUMMOCRETIN whom posts their left wrong BULLSHITTIUM. Find something that looks close enough and then run with it.

    checkmate does that a lot in his weekly train wrecks of BULLSHITTIUM!

    Hell yes, let’s have a shutdown fight over Planned Parenthood
    by Joan McCarter

    You want to have government shutdown fight over Planned Parenthood, Republicans? Bring. It.

    ***snip***

    Planned Parenthood has been through this game before. Like this exact game in 2011. It didn’t work then, and it’s not going to work now. A government shutdown over Planned Parenthood would backfire on the Republicans so many ways it would make their pinheads spin. The most satisfying way, however, would be a massive increase in financial support for the organization, and that many more poor and middle-income women getting access to health care because of it.

    There’s good links and other content to see at the link.

    Rebecca Watson: ‘Planned Parenthood is Not Selling Baby Parts, You F*cking Idiots’
    byLeslie Salzillo

    By now, most of the country has heard about the ‘undercover’ videos taped by so-called ‘pro-life’ activists from the Right Wing political organization Center For Medical Progress. The released footage is aimed at smearing, defunding, and shutting down Planned Parenthood. In addition to several videos referred to as ‘new lows’ by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, the anti-choice have also hacked the organization’s website. The attack campaign is slanderous, insidious, and misleading. I could go on, but instead I’m going to step aside and let blogger Rebecca Watson explain the truth and insanity of the situation. Watson founded Skepchick in 2005, describing it as “an organization dedicated to promoting skepticism and critical thinking among women around the world.” You can support more videos like this at patreon.com/rebecca.
