One only cares about guns (its the national RIFLE association, not the people's rights association), the other actually cares about people.

It is possible to defend an organization while not agreeing with the statements of the person at the top rung. Most every politician and business executive is a lying sack of crap.

It is also possible to defend an organization/person without crying about other organizations or people. I know, crazy.

Well, since Planned Parenthood's name is with regards to family planning, I guess they should stop cancer screenings, breast exams and STD testing. It's called Planned PARENTHOOD, not Women's Health Clinic.

I'd also argue that the NRA, while having "Rifle" in the name, cares about more than just guns.

I'm not the one crying about other organizations, but if you're going to try and leverage what one organization does to put down another, then it's on the table.
