Planned Parenthood should be defunded, says local village idiots. Plus therapy pets and the Florida airport shooting – The Devil’s Advocates Episode 186

The Devil's Advocates Show

Planned Parenthood provides a number of services to people, often lower income individuals in need of basic health care or guidance to help keep from making their lives worse than they already are. Services such as cancer screenings, STD testing, guidance and advice on options regarding reproduction and parenthood are most of what Planned Parenthood provides. Also, around 10% of the time, they provide abortions. Government funding for planned parenthood only covers the non-abortion services, so tax dollars do not go towards abortion. However, that's not enough for religious zealots and general simpletons. Paul Ryan and many of his conservative like-minded imbeciles want all funding to go away for Planned Parenthood, because babies. I think that's fair, so long as they personally have to financially supplement all food and clothing necessary for a child that the parents can't afford. Fair? Some dude went to the Fort Lauderdale, FL airport and started shooting people. We don't know why yet. We'll probably never know why, because by the time they figure it out the news cycles will have moved on to the next mass shooting. My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty... Blind people need service dogs. No question. However, other people have decided they need therapy pets for emotional support. They want these pets to be able to go on planes with them in the cabin. Actual therapy dogs are trained to behave as such, but people figured out that if you buy a $40 dog vest you can pass them off as service animals. Airlines are confused and afraid to turn anyone down because the imminent lawsuit would paint them as heartless corporate masters. Sometimes that's exactly what we need. Only heartless corporations have the power to stop nonsense like this. "They'll hate you for it, but that's the point. Corporations can make the choices other people can't. Corporations aren't the hero we deserve, but they're the one we need right now."
