LIC: Ribbon Cut On Borough’s First Planned Parenthood Center

Seth, you could always move away and live someplace where all your neighbors think like you do. Maybe down south, or Kansas, Texas, or some other place where a womb is regulated by the government. around here, we believe in individual liberty and the Constitution that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman’s decision to have an abortion.) Please consider moving far away.

@luvu2 You’re absolutely right we should pray for Margaret Sanger and the millions of women’s lives that were saved and the millions of children who were not orphaned because of her bravery and sacrifice. Yes you’re absolutely right and people should read up on how many women died, families destroyed and children orphaned because of the prohibition on abortion. Don’t forget the millions of throw away children in Boston, New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia during Margaret Sangers time. People who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

IF you want to see a “retard”, look in the mirror. Do you dislike Christians and Jews? I guess you do. And, by the way, you do not know anybody’s religion! Many of us oppose Planned Parenthood because we believe that women deserve better than abortion and that men should support their kids.

I “suppose.”

Many people have used Planned Parenthood for birth control supplies, myself included. Both my girlfriend and I are white. Our visit to the office we went to had nothing to do with ethnicity but because of location and convenience.

Welcome, Planned Parenthood!

@Seth We see you don’t travel very much. Check out Idaho, Kentucky and West Virginia and tell me the majority in the homeless shelters are not white. As for your ignorant ethnic cleansing remark. Here is a math equation you dimwit. Giuliani responded by citing a statistic from a 2010 Bureau of Justice Statistics report which did, indeed, conclude that 93 percent of black homicide victims from 1980 through 2008 were killed by black offenders. The statement implied that intraracial violence in black communities is uniquely bad. Giuliani later repeated this statistic in a FOX News interview. A Black male has a 1 in 21 chance of being murdered in his lifetime by age 65 (ref: Author Benjamin P Bowser and CDC) 93% of these men will be killed by other Black males, who the mass majority of these murderers are products of unwanted pregnancy.according to FBI and CDC. I know math and facts don’t matter to someone who doesn’t believe in science buts its one of factors used to help my determination. My determination is you’re the one condoning “ethnic cleansing” and my position is one that is curbing it. I know facts and statistics (reality) don’t matter much to an ignorant chest pounding self righteous blowhard. I don’t think any shame should fall on JVB but on you and your ignorance. This ignorance is promoting this “ethnic cleansing” and keeps the country from making any progress on this issue. Thank you JVB for standing up to loud mouth ignorant bullies.

Before the High Middle Ages, homosexual acts appear to have been tolerated or ignored by the Christian church throughout Europe. Beginning in the latter twelfth century, however, hostility toward homosexuality began to take root, and eventually spread throughout European religious and secular institutions. Condemnation of homosexual acts (and other nonprocreative sexual behavior) as “unnatural,” which received official expression in the writings of Thomas Aquinas and others, became widespread and has continued through the present day (Boswell, 1980).
Religious teachings soon were incorporated into legal sanctions. Many of the early American colonies, for example, enacted stiff criminal penalties for sodomy, an umbrella term that encompassed a wide variety of sexual acts that were nonprocreative (including homosexual behavior), occurred outside of marriage (e.g., sex between a man and woman who were not married), or violated traditions (e.g., sex between husband and wife with the woman on top). The statutes often described such conduct only in Latin or with oblique phrases such as “wickedness not to be named”). In some places, such as the New Haven colony, male and female homosexual acts were punishable by death (e.g., Katz, 1976).

By the end of the 19th century, medicine and psychiatry were effectively competing with religion and the law for jurisdiction over sexuality. As a consequence, discourse about homosexuality expanded from the realms of sin and crime to include that of pathology. This historical shift was generally considered progressive because a sick person was less blameful than a sinner or criminal (e.g., Chauncey, 1982/1983; D’Emilio & Freedman, 1988; Duberman, Vicinus, & Chauncey, 1989).

Even within medicine and psychiatry, however, homosexuality was not universally viewed as a pathology. Richard von Krafft-Ebing described it as a degenerative sickness in his Psychopathia Sexualis, but Sigmund Freud and Havelock Ellis both adopted more accepting stances. Early in the twentieth century, Ellis (1901) argued that homosexuality was inborn and therefore not immoral, that it was not a disease, and that many homosexuals made outstanding contributions to society (Robinson, 1976).

Peter P That is why Homosexuality was deemed a mental illness. Please get informed. If you want to remain ignorant then keep your comments to yourself this way people don’t realize you’re ignorant they just think you’re just quiet and mindful.
