'Nobody is PRO abortion ferchristsake! Unless you are willing to take in all these babies being born to women who can't afford them, are to young to handle them, don't want them and they will live a life of hell because of it, have no child care to continue school or work, or are addicted to drugs, then you shouldn't really have a say in what women choose to do with their own bodies.'

Oh! You done gone and did it now. LOL!

3% is a BUNDLE of cash?

Let's just ignore all the good they do for that tiny 3% figure -

Planned Parenthood health centers focus on prevention: 76 percent of our clients receive services to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood services help prevent more than 584,000 unintended pregnancies each year.

Planned Parenthood provides nearly 770,000 Pap tests and nearly 750,000 breast exams each year, critical services in detecting cancer.

Planned Parenthood provides more than four million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

Three percent of all Planned Parenthood health services are abortion services.

Planned Parenthood affiliates provide educational programs to more than 1.1 million young people and adults each year.

Planned Parenthood has more than six million activists, supporters, and donors working for women's health and safety and our fundamental reproductive rights.

How many children have you adopted or sponsored lately dude? WE as a society have been doing a shit job taking care of women and children, and with this depression, services have been cut to the bone for these people. Just what do you suppose we do with 584,000 more babies PER year? Everybody's got their pants on fire now about how their tired of paying for this and that for the poor. Where's the money going to come from for food, shelter, clothing, daycare, education, etc ??

Also, have you taken a survey of women to proclaim it's mostly poor women getting abortions?? That absolutely shows that you have no clue who these women are. It goes across ALL classes, and ALL races. There are many women who have nothing, but would never think about giving up a child. There are many women who have everything and are just selfish and would rather carry a dog in their purse than a baby in a stroller. Some women have to many kids and can't handle another, some women have medical problems or genetic stuff going on, and some women never want any kids ever due to whatever their reasons are. ALL classes. ALL races.

The answer is absolutely prevention and education, but taking away organizations like PP would be detrimental to society. People are against sex education in schools, and don't want little Johnny or Janey learning about sex because that will only put idea in their heads. At least when they get to the age of reason, there are places like PP that will help educate and protect them. If you have never used their services, been pregnant, and you don't have a VAGINA, i suggest you just smile and nod from now on when the subject comes up.

Kthanx

I think it would be more beneficial for people to stop telling women what to do with their bodies, and maybe concentrate on things like pedophile priests and child sex slavery and save the kids that are already here!

I hear Paul Gilbert's new cd Vibrato is pretty good. Anybody know where I can hear come clips from it?

a big HELLO to my fellow Satchoholics! >=:) i just had to share my happiness about Joe coming to OZ in April 2013 \m/^_^\m/

Joe Satriani - i was at the Paul Gilbert Masterclass last night and was pleased to see you in the video at the end of the night! \m/^_^\m/ i got home at midnight and bought my tickets from Thump Music at 1:30am! i haven't seen you since the 2008 tour Joe, this is going to be great! >=:) makes up for G3 skipping Perth.

i know there are going to be Meet & Greet's, John from Thump Music said they will be through them but there's nothing on their site that says M&G with the ticket? let me know if i have to buy one through your site Joe \m/

Leanne >=:)

Android63 - thanks for the heads up, I got tickets for the Melbourne clinic - YAYYYYY GONNA SEE JOE!!!!!!!!! Can't play guitar very well but I will love watching. I love how it is out of the blue so to speak, went to work this morning and little did I know I would have a ticket to see Joe by the time I got home.

BigBunny - congrats to you, I'm glad he's doing a Perth clinic for you.

Skippygirl BigBunny - congrats to you, I'm glad he's doing a Perth clinic for you.

Thump Music is based in Perth so i guess that was apart of the deal. this will be my 4th time seeing Joe, though at his 2005 gig i couldn't see him very well at Metro's Freo.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good wishes/thoughts...we are hanging in but still struggling. After all possible tests have been run, they conclude he's under a "thyroid storm" which is causing absolute delerium and agitation. He's very combative. Trying to get his levels back down and then we'll see. It's so heartbreaking to see my dad this way, but he's always been a fighter so we just take it a minute at a time. Please keep it coming!

Congrats to Oz, that's fantastic that Joe is doing master classes there, don't miss it if you can help it, player or not!!! Go soak up allll the Joe-goodness you can!!

Congrats Matt King, your video was incredible so it's no surprise you're in the top 10 :) I wonder if there's a list anywhere of all the winners?

List of winners

There's two girls in the top ten - excellent!

'At least when they get to the age of reason, there are places like PP that will help educate and protect them.'

i am sure that in some ways planned parenthood is providing a needed service. the poor and the young are the ones getting free abortions payed for by the taxpayer. others who have insurance can go to their normal doctor and have the fetus killed on their own dime.

Chickenfoot Get Retrospective in 'Something Going Wrong' – Premiere Video

Sure, absolutely the father of the baby has a right to that decision. I believe that 100%. I'm saying that a bunch of suits have no right to the decisions made between the parents, or the mother when the father bails as soon as he gets the news. There are a lot of shady people in our very own government that get busted doing dumb stuff every day. We pay their full ride!! We pay for their health insurance, their self appointed bonuses, and a whoooole lot of stuff that most of us will never be lucky to have. That's our American government who were voted into office by people who trusted them to do a job FOR THE PEOPLE. That's not one office in the corner of America where a a pimp picked up birth control for his girls - which just makes me sick, but at least he was getting them protection.We do not fully fund PP like we fully fund civil servants.

To get back to my original point - to vote for someone simply on ONE issue, when so many of his other issues will take us backwards so far and so fast, and his foreign policy is asinine and will get us all killed, is just insane. People have to look at the entire picture, not one issue. It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Tagg Romney "joked" that he wanted to jump up and punch Obama during the debates. Seriously?? WTF is this jackass gonna say to the press when his dad has to go up against hardcore heads of state that do not like America, and will really be pissed when Romney starts his pompous bully routine and insults everything they stand for? All we need is a president with a bunch of loose cannon jackass sons saying something inflammatory towards them, and it's gonna get ugly up in here! This presidency should not be picked for ONE issue. If you're worried about unborn fetuses being killed, go to your local high school and look those kids in the eye, because some of them might not be here in a few years when Romney jacks up another war with the rest of the world. I worry about the people that are already here. The people coming home with twisted minds and missing limbs. The people that are going to have to pay the price of another "send your kids, not mine" president. I pray for the babies who never make it into this world, but I pray harder for the ones who do.

Pretty sure they only won because they're girls. Not trying to be sexist here but I don't think its a coincidence that the only two girls in the top 96 both won. And neither of them were anything special.

Nice one Joe.

you guys are awesome~ :) i this is hands down going to be one of the pivotal moments of my life! i'm beyond stoked...the only problem i need to face now is my god awful fear of flying....

thanks for scoping my video out~
