Gag. A good old fashioned witch burning might be fun, too.

And here's a recent article about a Planned Parenthood staff member suggesting that a girl lie about her age in order to get an abortion. Christian's aren't interested in trampling women's rights....they *are* interested in protecting an innocent baby and giving it the 'right' to live.

So who is actually "trampling" on whose rights? and who is being irresponsible?

It is a cherished myth of the religious right that providers of abortion care "hide the truth" from women, their supposition being that a woman who sees an ultrasound image will change her mind about having an abortion. The truth is that we encourage a patient to let us review those images with her before an abortion procedure. That is the best way to reassure her that they bear no resemblance to the shock graphic images so beloved of anti-abortion activists, and most women feel comforted to know that.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.talk2action.org/story/2007/4/10/1716/28409">
