The Destitute remain destitute and deceived
|
“
|
A show of endless distraction aimed at drawing attention away from factional self-indulgence and irrationality and, because of neglect, the critical inferiority (sub-standard) and decrepit state of the U.S. body politic, its leadership and vital institutions.
Some people seem to have a problem with Planned Parenthood. So stop flooding
it and other profit-taking nonprofit corporations (including Catholic Charities)
with government money that, by design, never solves underlying problems or eliminates destitution.

lanned Parenthood (Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc or PPFA)
is a
Multi-billion-dollar corporation (annual revenue US$1.3 billion)
Multi-millions of which come from the U.S. taxpayers ($530 million such as in Medicaid reimbursements).
The PPFA reportedly owns property including real estate whose combined price is estimated at “$54 million”
Its largest facility, completed in Houston, Texas, in May 2010, is a 78,000-square-foot (7,200-square-metre) structure priced at “$26 million.”
How much education, how much shelter, and how much poverty elimination
could all these millions and billions buy? How many able, ethical, practicing physicians
(men and women) could be trained and dispatched to communities in desperate
need of medical/health services providers?
Get rid of PPFA. Let them pay their own freight. And spend that money on
well-monitored public education and success-driven and monitored poverty
elimination.
Some people believe, or say they believe, in the separation of church
and state (religion and state) in the United States. I know I do. So delink Catholic
Charities from the government dole.

atholic Charities is also a multi-billion dollar profit-taking non-profit
corporation (annual revenues $4.7 billion
$2.9 billion of which comes from the U.S. government
Gala take in 2017: “$2.4 million”
If these people had even been in the business of ending poverty, poverty would have ended long ago.Other: “$140 million” in diocesan donations, in-kind contributions, investments, program fees, and community donations.
Get rid of Catholic Charities. Let the pious—not U.S. taxpayers (and we all pay taxes,
even the newest immigrants madmen like to demonize)—pay their own freight. Any perverted institution that has for centuries oppressed native
peoples and protected its predator employees should not be paid for, embolden,
enabled by citizens of any country to persist in its perversion.

oe or not to Roe or is this the compelling issue?
I believe in human beings’ “right to privacy” and “due process.” I also
believe in fundamental human rights as set out in the 1948 Universal
Declaration of Human Rights among them
- the right to shelter
- the right to meaningful work and a living wage
All
the battling back and forth and hysterics surrounding “Roe v Wade” (410 U.S.
113, 1973) and “Planned Parenthood v. Casey” (505 U.S. 833, 1992) about “viability,”
and when a fetus or tissue becomes a “human being,” and who is or is not
culpable in exactly what, is a decades’ long battle of distraction.
The Supreme Court of
the United States ruled in “Roe v. Wade” (410 U.S. 113, 1973) that “the Due
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides a
fundamental ‘right to privacy’ that protects a pregnant woman’s liberty (not an
“absolute right” but “balanced against government’s interests in protecting
women’s health and protecting prenatal life”) to choose whether or not to have
an abortion.”
Revisiting and modifying
its legal rulings in 1992 (“Planned Parenthood v. Casey”), the Court “reaffirmed
Roe’s holding that a woman’s right to abort a nonviable fetus is constitutionally
protected, but abandoned Roe’s trimester framework in favor of a standard based
on fetal viability, and overruled Roe’s requirement that government regulations
on abortion be subjected to the strict scrutiny standard.”
All these years and all that lawyering and multi-billion-dollar taking
have hatched two U.S. nations—
on one side of the chasm a hysterical “pro-life” (except for U.S. foreign interference and killing of foreign men, women and children) faction;
on the other side a hysterical “pro-choice” (except for U.S. breach of global nations’ sovereignty, killing and denying choice to foreign men, women and children) faction.
Ignored, Suppressed, Overlooked

y the time a person reaches the point of needing an abortion—and long
before panderers and politicians, preachers and propagandists and predators
start pontificating about abortion — years of work and thousands of steps have
been missed; trampled over, not even considered. Some of them…
PARENTING: The imperative of mature parenting and the inalienable right of parents to protect their young.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT: The imperative of the young to adhere to the authority of good parenting, deferring to the parental duty to protect the young. Contrary to the arrogant murmurings of the immature (plus mass media, commercial advertisement, pandering $ psychologists, and ever-lurking predators), children (and the otherwise young) are not miniature adults and they do not know what is best for them nor are they capable of handling adult experiences; and therefore they must not be unleashed by irresponsible adults (or predators and potential predators) who would exploit, neglect or otherwise allow the young to pass into adulthood undisciplined by good parenting, and unlearned, untaught, inexperienced in disciplining and respecting themselves.
Schooling and Societal care, caution and proper REINFORCEMENT: Society at large (including ethical government leadership and community organizations and institutions) and mandatory school curricula should cover, in every grade of the individual’s formative years, the teaching of and exposure to the principles and practice of good relations, respectful interaction between and among people, regardless sex, gender, and/or any other characteristic. People in authority such as teachers, priests, principals, healthcare providers, coaches, scout leaders, managers, heads of the IMF, uncles, aunts, brothers, and others should be kept under watchful (ethical adult) eyes to prevent predators among them from exploiting (assaulting, sexually threatening or titillating) the young and developing.

ood parenting, good schooling, good society together needs neither corporate
charity nor corporate parent planners.
A world without waste, fraud and abuse, without deliberate distraction and deception, without self-serving self-righteous paternalistic billionaire predators — needs no handouts.
