Letter 256
Planned Parenthood's spokeswoman made much last week of the two Klansmen carrying
anti-abortion signs at the Ku Klux Klan rally. She said, "It just shows what kind of
people oppose abortion."
Is the spokeswoman saying that the millions of Americans who identify themselves as
pro-life are members of the Ku Klux Klan? If so, fine. However, pro-choicers count among
their supporters the North American Man-Boy Love Association--a group of homosexual
pedophiles who want to legalize sex between adults and children, Queer Nation, ACT-UP, and
assorted eco-terrorist groups whose members drive spikes into trees so lumberjacks will be
injured or killed trying to cut them down.
If the Planned Parenthood spokeswoman wants to tar all pro-lifers with the Klan brush,
it has to work both ways. She has to be willing to paint all pro-choicers as violent,
cross-dressing, homosexual, child-molesting tree-huggers.
It just shows that the spokeswoman knows how morally bankrupt her position is. She
can't defend it on its own merits, because it has none. So she is reduced to making absurd
and irrelevant statements based on a couple of sub-moronic coneheads carrying signs.

First of all, we don't even know if those people really were Klansmen, or that they
really oppose abortion.
Second, since there are millions of pro-lifers, can anyone really believe that two
Klansmen--even if they are pro-life--represent all pro-lifers? To appreciate how stupid
this is, imagine it was revealed that a notorious child molester was a Democrat. Would the
public buy a Republican argument that there is a relationship between being a member of
the Democratic Party and molesting children?
The reality is, any movement with millions of people is going to have a few unsavory
characters lurking around the fringes. And when you consider how evil a practice abortion
is, it shouldn't be surprising that even the nastiest of people recognize that it is
wrong. In fact, if I were this Planned Parenthood spokeswoman, I would be concerned why
someone as pathetic as one of these sub-moronic coneheads in the KKK has enough morals to
be against the killing of children, and I don't.

Planned Parenthood's spokeswoman made much last week of the two Klansmen carrying
anti-abortion signs at the Ku Klux Klan rally. She said, "It just shows what kind of

Let's assume the KKK really does oppose abortion. The KKK also opposes adultery. Does
that mean that all men who don't cheat on their wives parade around the woods at night
with sheets over their heads? Does it also mean that adultery is good because the KKK is
against it? If a local pastor speaks out against adultery, does that place him in league
with the KKK?
So it is with abortion. The reality is, saintly people like Mother Teresa oppose
abortion, as do ordinary people who occasionally drive over the speed limit, yell at their
kids, or don't return their library books on time.
The bigger point is this: When even a sub-moronic conehead from the KKK has enough
sense to recognize that abortion is not only the killing of a child, but is risky elective
surgery, performed by immoral and substandard doctors, that all too often leaves a
perfectly healthy woman mutilated or dead, we have to wonder about people like the Planned
Parenthood spokeswoman. She doesn't just tolerate abortion--she has made it her life's
work to make sure as many abortions as possible take place. She spends her life defending
and promoting something that even bigoted and ignorant people know is wrong.
That says very little about Klansmen, but it says an awful lot about abortion
enthusiasts.
