Free abortions and vasectomies at the Democratic National Convention this week?
by Kurt Mahlburg, Mercator:
In days as strange as ours, it’s rare for me to do a double take when reading news headlines. But I did this week.
“Planned Parenthood offering free abortions, vasectomies at DNC,” Fox News reportedover the weekend.
Or if The New York Times is more to your liking:
While delegates are in Chicago for next week’s Democratic National Convention, they will engage in the typical pageantry and traditions: They’ll vote for their nominee, pose for photos with elected officials, and show off their state with cool buttons or themed hats.
They will also have the option of getting a free vasectomy or a medication abortion just blocks away.
The progeny-purging rituals are being performed by Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which plans to park a van just a short walk from the convention venue.
“It’s a way of showcasing how reproductive health care providers have had to get creative when operating in or near states like Missouri, which borders Illinois and has a near-total abortion ban,” the Times brags.
Showcasing? Since when has snuffing out the unborn been a carnival sideshow?
Alas, I have quite a list of questions about this grotesque stunt.
