What Will It Take to Wake America to the Horrors of Unplanned Parenthood

Deanna Alexander's piece on Sykes' RightWisconsin site is one of many propaganda-spewing diatribes against women's health care in general and Planned Parenthood (PP) in specific. But the title caught my eye.

Unplanned parenthood is a serious problem. The results of which are swept under the rug. Women are told to suck it up and parent. There is no concerted effort to stop men from impregnating women at will. Men are not regularly forced to parent. Hell, many of them think they "babysit" their own children.

Insurers, corporations, and religious busy-bodies think it is okay to deny even birth control to women. Yet have no problem dishing out boner pills to men.

Women do not have abortions without serious consideration like Alexander seems to believe. It is a very personal decision that is the woman's alone.

Alexander speaks as if women are being victimized by PP. I wonder if she has spoken to families and women using PP's services. Or, as clearly shown in yesterday's congressional hearing, facts and women's rights be damned, she and her ilk want to control everyone.

Except themselves of course. Wherein they talk the high road but are regularly proven to be craven ideologues partaking in various disgusting, cruel, ruinous and heinous behaviors.

Actually, it's Republican America who needs to wake up. Everyone else gets it.
