Marking the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

Anti-abortion folks are taking to the streets in DC protesting the continued legality of abortion in all fifty states. Here's a run-down of what's happening:

-Rep. Mike Pence has introduced a bill to end funding for Big Abortion that is practiced by Planned Parenthood.

-Pro-life advocates take to the same streets Obama supporters did two days ago.

-Abortion and the rights of the father. Short summary, he has none.

-Some idiot slammed his SUV into a Planned Parenthood in Minneapolis.

On the 36th Anniversary of Roe, there is really no way to articulate all the gratitude that women feel across this nation. It seems most appropriate to try to thank the unseen, the folks who day in, day out, do what must be done to ensure that women are able to make the best choices about their own reproductive health.

She's writing to thank those who make it possible to kill babies (and no, they aren't clumps of tissue) in glowing terms as if she's describing folks who work with the homeless or feed those who can't feed themselves. I generally have no dog in this fight but this is truly disgusting. I wonder if Courtney would ever write something akin to this:

On the 36th 6th Anniversary of Roe the Iraq War, there is really no way to articulate all the gratitude that women (and Men) feel across this nation. It seems most appropriate to try to thank the unseen (soldiers), the folks who day in, day out, do what must be done to ensure that women Americans are able to make the best choices about their own reproductive health live in freedom.

But no, that would never happen because those who areon the front lines fighting for the rights to kill a fetus are more important in the whole scheme of things then those who are on the front lines of freedom and saving untold millions from death or rape by despotic dictators.

I also find it interesting that she used a picture featuring all African-American women when Margaret Sanger--the founder of Planned Parenthood--was an avowed racist who pushed birth control to stop blacks and immigrants from having children.

Don't believe me? Here's Sanger in her own words:
