so pph instaed of stopping the killing of the unborn and stay open to offear the other services they are going to close their doors. I hope and pray a company buys their building and start to offear those services that do not enclude the killing of the unborn.
Thinking of moving to Texas someday. However I am probably needed in California. AJ, I checked out your reference to emoticons yesterday and I think that you meant to do an eye roll above and did it wrong??? :roll
Reading the Huff post article AJ referenced, it appears planned parenthood is closing the three clinics not in response to the new law but also to previous state funding cuts. Thus pastor roy unless someone comes up with the money some women in Texas will have do without health care … cancer screening, pap smears, birth control etc. So the pro-life legislators have done exactly what their opponents say they do protect the unborn but leave the born without care.
By the way, the requirement that doctors have admitting privileges at a local hospital is not necessary. Maryland passed a series of new rules on abortion clinics that both the pro-choice and pro-life sides agreed to and the admitting privileges clause was deemed not necessary as hospitals don’t need an admitting doctor to take a patient.
NDAs are probably standard for the foreign service or state department. I don’t think the gov’t wants their employees writing tell-all books or babbling on some blog no matter what their position or post was or is.
I wouldn’t worry about the FBIs linguistic use rather their method of operation. Most terrorist arrests and prevented attacks since 2001 have been operations that their own covert operatives have initiated meanwhile they completely miss a real attack. Those who criticize the use or lack of certain words miss the real problem.
Fraud in the free lunch program … not surprised but then again there’s fraud in both the private and public sectors by employees and it should be dealt with on a case by case basis and is no reason to dismantle the program. Personally, as a taxpayer I would be more concerned with corporate tax evasion and fraud which cost the gov’t and the economy far more money.
HRS. My CEO is in France. With a 75% tax rate, I am sure he is not making much compared to other CEO’s. The thing is, he is a really great guy and honestly care about his people worldwide.
As to your assertion that closing an Abortion Clinic is denying a woman healthcare, my reply to you is “How is murdering a child classified as healthcare?”
The Southern states are drawing a line in the sand: If you want to kill your baby right before he or she is born, you will need to go to a Yankee state. My wife is hopeful this will help the South avoid showers of fire and brimstone.
HRW, I don’t believe you or Robert Reich has ever worked in private industry. Neither of you have any idea what a subsidy is. Of course, companies deduct executive compensation. That is an actual expense, as are all salaries and bonuses. They also get a deduction for their minimum wage employees. People in the private sector understand this. Companies sometimes get special deductions or credits for hiring unemployed or poor people. Those are subsidies. When oil companies get the same deductions as other businesses, that is not a subsidy. When businesses and consumers get huge tax credits for purchasing “green” garbage like electric cars and solar panels, that is a subsidy. It favors one industry over another.
drivesguy —- thanks for providing further proof that Europeans understand the social contract. American CEOs should do the same.
Planned parenthood is shutting down only one abortion clinic the rest are health clinics affecting by spending cuts.
ricky — the intent of the tax code was to disallow any deduction over a million in order to reign in CEO salaries. This was in recognition of the central fact European CEOs and corporations recognize … there is a social contract and society as a whole (incl corporations) benefit. Corporations broke the spirit of the law if not intent.
We’re holding our collective breath to see what this year’s medical roll-out will cost us where I work (we should know in late November). Last year it really jumped up (as it did the year before that). This year we’re expecting the same. Those with dependents also are having to jump through red-tape hoops this year, providing marriage and birth certificates. They’re cracking down trying to weed out anyone who shouldn’t be on the plans.
So where are these people who are getting lower premiums? 😉
HRW, The subsidy article was written by tree huggers who favor subsidies of green garbage. Can you name one “subsidy”, deduction or crediit that is available to the oil and gas industry that is not available to businesses at large?
The Tax code is supposed to raise money not communize us. If you are going to disallow the deduction of salaries over a certain amount, do you also want to disallow the deduction for salaries paid to white people or heterosexuals?
