I'm Saying She's a Gold-Digger

I mentioned this in a reply, but this is a few weeks old.

A woman in Massachusetts is suing Planned Parenthood. She's suing PP because they, for whatever reason, did not succeed in aborting her child two years ago. The plaintiff claims that PP is now liable for the costs of raising the child.

Stop laughing.

Don't get me wrong, I can't name a more vile organization in the USA today than Planned Parenthood. Many organizations lobby for abortion rights, but only Planned Parenthood (to my knowledge) actually financially profits from a woman's decision to abort. At least NOW can separate theory from application.

I admit, I do not know the complications that may cause an 'unsuccessful' abortion attempt. That this case might be heard alone is bad law. If the plaintiff were financially prevented from raising a child, my understanding is that Massachusetts still permits a mother giving up their child for adoption. I don't know about you, but my golddigger alarm is going off.

A culture of life has, at minimum, two things:
*Communal Respect for human dignity, particulary as it translates itself into a right to life (but also into a right to the pursuit of happiness, including a just wage, equitable treatment of the lowly, solidarity, etc.)
*An understanding that - by and large - one cannot milk the fruits of society without a commitment to individual responsibility.

The plaintiff fails both tests.
