Only 55,000?

So only 1,300 a year in a population of millions... Maybe we're supposed to read it as Planned Parenthood profits off baby parts from 55,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade? That might actually be kind of true (not the profit part) if you limit it to organ donations from late term pregnancies to born babies and leave of the fetal tissue for research numbers.

An interesting post on the "enhanced audio" of the Ted Rall thing

quote:

Here are the specific allegations:

1. He was thrown up against the wall
2. He was handcuffed
3. He was roughed up
4. A couple dozen (24-ish) passerby shouting at the cops
5. The police created an �ugly scene�
6. Another officer appeared to question the first cop�s actions

If you�ve listened to the audio, ask yourself whether the audio supports the allegations Ted made in his column or not. I give him a lot of leeway (the biggest being was the tape altered/edited/spliced before it got to the LA Times), but even then I just don�t hear the �ugly scene� Ted wrote about. If only Ted had dropped some F-bombs instead of asking for suggestions on where to eat, we could be having an entirely different conversation.

Yeah I listened to a bit of the "enhanced" recording and you can maybe hear a woman say something about "handcuffs" on it but it's hardly the slam dunk that Rall is trumpeting it as. Even his own transcript of the enhanced tape contradicts part f his original story.

original story posted:

Just over 10 years ago, I was ticketed � and handcuffed � for an alleged pedestrian violation while crossing Melrose Avenue. Ironically, this was one of the rare times that I was innocent of even jaywalking, something I do every day.

Anyway, I had done everything right. I waited for the green �walking man� signal before stepping off the curb. I walked between the crosswalk lines. I got across the street just as the flashing red signal began.

transcript posted:

7.570 � Officer Durr: ��the LA County Police Department, the reason I stopped you, you got a red light, and you just walked across just as free as you wanted to, so��

15.654 � Rall: �I�m really sorry, I totally missed��

It's also funny that Rall seems to be using this whole incident to push his new book by slapping his terrible babby Snowden portrait on the SoundCloud account, which really just adds an additional surreal, amateurish quality to the whole thing. OTOH it's pretty creepy that the LAPD bothered to dig up a 10-year old audio tape and bring it to the LA Times to get Rall fired, not to mention about it on their union blog afterwards, as well as saying that they hoped it was a lesson to other journalists.

Yeah even the cleaned up version still doesn't support his claim that another officer rode up on a motorcycle and ordered the cop who cuffed him to let him go, or even the "couple of dozen" passersby shouting at him.

Planned Parenthood would have a way better image if they changed their name. The name "Planned Parenthood" brings to mind contraceptives and abortions, and that's pretty much it, so of course the public image of it is the abortion and contraceptive factory. If their name was National Women's Health Centre or something like that, people would associate them with all the other stuff as well.

Well, if there's anything I've learned about America from this thread, there is no possible thing you could do to make people not hate this.

For me, the name Planned Parenthood (i.e. parenthood is something you should only do with planning) fitted in exactly with what I learned in sex ed class, so I never really thought about it.
