Choice Move Gang


Don't get me wrong - big fan of the pro-choice movement in general and Planned Parenthood in particular. They do a lot for women in need of a choice and inexpensive health care options.

But who in their right mind stuffs a stocking with Planned Parenthood gift certificates?

Nothing kills holiday cheer quicker than thinking about a wart that needs freezing. You don't believe your daughter's New Year's resolution to lay off the football team? Fine, schedule a talk instead of reminding her with a gift under the tree that she's a little too much like her mother.

Then this embarrassing trend started making the rounds on cable news.



Failing to report sex between a thirteen year-old girl and a thirty-one year old man is disturbing on several levels.

The anti-choice movement is working hard to take reproductive freedom away from women. Encouraging children to hide or cover up statutory rape only gives the anti-choice crowd more ammunition.

Not to mention such a cover up is wrong. And against the law.

We can't risk a safe and legal choice over some attention-seeking stunts and illegal/immoral behavior on the part of several staffers in different states. We shouldn't hand Sean Hannity his headlines. Make him work for it, people!

Planned Parenthood must make some resolutions of its own for 2009. New leadership would be a step in the right direction.
