You know how "pro-family" crusaders are always going on about gay pride parades and gay-themes books in schools and so forth, many of whom will even go so far as to say, "I don’t care what these people do in the privacy of their own homes," right before they launch into a discourse on how they're just not ready to talk to their kids about homosexuality yet? And how the same people will say approximately the same thing about comprehensive sex education programs? As if exposure to the mere existence of homosexuality, or condoms, or abortion will turn their kids into rabid, gay, pregnant revolutionaries?

As always, take this for what it's worth, since I've got no kids of my own, but I believe I'd be a lot more irritated by having to explain to an 8-year-old why there's a plane flying overhead trailing a picture of a carved up fetus than I would explaining what a rainbow flag means or where babies come from.

They never do of course. I have two children - 7 and 4 - and I am appalled at what these pre-life folks use in place of political discourse. I work at an abortion clinic and our protestors (3x/week) at least just use signs that say "This clinic does abortions" (actually good advertising for us) and "Jesus Loves You" (?!).

Did you know that anti-abortion types are poo-pooing the notion of women dying horrible deaths from septic abortions, calling it propaganda, saying it hardly ever happened and that if they did die that way, they deserved it?
