Her troubling history of opposing federal funding for these programs threatens the right of women and families to access these important resources.Imagine thinking that tax-payer-funded family-planning resources for the underprivileged might more profitably be spent on abstinence education, health screening and prenatal care than condoms (which, as we all know, are expensive; difficult to attain unless you go to a pharmacy, grocery store, or public restroom; and not-generally-known-about, what with all that advertising on tv, radio, magazines, billboards, school sex-ed classes, movies, novels, advice columns & playground talk)? Yeah, she's a freak.
Surprisingly, the NRO folk (who, being Conservative, are not supposed to like public funding of anything) were humming the Planned Parenthood tune, too --at least until Steve Hayward stepped in with the news that the MSM might not be playing fair.
FYI, Ms. Orr's Jerusalem & Athens comes highly recommended by Fr. Schall as important reading for the liberally educated mind. And I happen to know she's excellent at family planning, since she set me up with Mr. W. For which I'm supremely grateful. (Most days.)
