Max, it is my understanding from looking around ppgg’s site that these things were not filled out on line, but while they are at the clinic, and then put on the web by ppgg’s staff. So the likelyhood of a “religious zealot” walking in and filling a form out (the “religious zealot” would have to be between the ages of 15 to 18 to be belivable when they hand the form into the person collection them) So that means a ppgg staff member looked at the form and determaned that it was good and needed to be on the web site. Yes I did look arouind ppgg’s site, and I will admit I was sick after looking around their site.

Max, from reading other parts of the site it looked like it was at the office where it was filled out. Ok I will take it that they have a link where you can submit on line. But you don’t think that they have someone to screen them? If they just let them go live with out screening that would be very very stupid of them. Let take your example of the religious zealous, they would have had all their friends submit fake ones to go live and make PPGG look bad, and I mean many many of them all the time. I am sure that they do not go live with out some one reading them, there probably is an approval process. Just like on my site, if some one posts a comment with a link in it, it goes into a moderation list, and does not go live till I review it (99% of the time I look at it and delete it since it is normally spam)

So by it showing up on their web site, they were promoting it was what they would do, note I am saying what they would do. And in a way by putting it up they are bragging about it. I doubt that there is only one person looking at it, and that that person has to be trained, it is not like my site which is a personal vanity site so it does not have to be of high quality, theirs is a public face of a large (controversial) organization so they more then likely have some one on staff that 1) knows a thing or two about computers 2) knows something about how the Internet works, and how it is very anonymous 3) knows that they will have pro-life “spy’s” come to their site, maybe try to submit something to make them look bad 4) knows the PP rhetoric 5)Trained in basic laws. If I were to have a site for a large organization that gets millions in tax money (both state and fed) I would make sure I have a good web person that would fit those 5 above, and if not, train them in the 5 above, or where he/she is laking. If they don’t have some one like that for their web site, maybe they should not be doing “medical procedures” because if they can not be careful about something as simple as a web site, then how can one trust them to be careful inside a human body (yes I admit they are in there to kill, but they have 2 people there, they do still want one to live, they only want to kill 50% of they people that go in there)

Max, not all Pro-Life groups ignore the mother. Our church supports a Pregnacy Care center, that cares for Mothers. It also offers consoling for woman that regret having abortions. We care for the women even after they do it. If a woman goes to them while pregant, they will help them find a way to bring the child to term, and if the mother wants to keep the child, they will try to help her find the support she needs, not just money, but the other support that is needed.

I do know that there are groups out there that are pro-life that don’t care about the mother and child after the child is born, and I say to them shame on them. But there are also Pro-Life groups out there that care for both after the birth, and care for the mother even if she does get an abortion, there are many woman that fully regert getting abortions, and those woman do need just as much care as a woman that is facing a pregancy that is scared.

And Max you are right (I think this is also a sad fact) alot of stuff that happen in the Political shpere is all about the almighty dollar.
