This goes beyond anger. The Reich (read: right) has gone too far. They can't get Roe v Wade overturned in the courts (though they have made a giant step in that direction with the upholding of the "partial birth" abortion ban), and now they have resorted to the slander of Planned Parenthood using the lowest accusation possible - child molestation. I can't say that I'm surprised. Most Americans have the good sense to recognize that safe abortions are needed. A ban will only result in back alley and kitchen table procedures that took the lives of thousands of frightened young women for years. Make that poor young women. The rich can always afford to go to Mexico or Canada - countries that understand the importance of allowing their citizens access to the medical procedures they want, and will often get no matter what, even at the cost of their own lives.

Now. What has gotten me so riled up that I am here, ranting, rather than doing the busy office work I should be engaged in. I have a name for you. Lila Rose. If you don't know who she is, don't worry, I didn't before her face appeared before me last night on the O'Reilly Factor (my father is a Republican - I didn't have a choice). But soon enough she will be a household name. Not back for a journalism sophomore. Apparently this little girl (I say that because she looks like she's 13 and sounds like she's 10 - a sure sign in my mind of someone who has been molested at a young age) got it in her head that she should go into Planned Parenthoods in the LA area and try to get an abortion. Nothing wrong with that you say? She was wearing a wire, and told them that she was 15, her boyfriend 23. Now in California, that's statutory rape. What happened? The good people at Planned Parenthood told her to pick a different birthday so they would not have to report the crime. Not exactly legal, true. But in the spirit of providing women with the care that they want and need. Do you want 15 year olds that think a 23 year old boyfriend is OK having babies? More to the point, do you want 23 year olds who think having a 15 year old girlfriend is OK having babies? I hope the answer is NO. All of this interaction is being shouted from the rooftops as Planned Parenthood protecting child molesters. I'm sorry if I seem callous, but a 15 year old having sex with a 23 year old is worlds away from something that involves a girl of 10 or 11. All they wanted to do was to help this girl, and now she has found an exciting new way to chip away at the foundation of choice. To the credit of Planned Parenthood, they are suing her. Personally I hope she goes to jail for providing false medical information, and for entrapment. And if I ever meet her, I have a curse all ready.
