If I were Dawn Eden, I'd be very careful walking through doors, never get into an elevator without lots of witnesses, and eat only food from cans I opened myself. She's got to be right at the top of Planned Parenthood's hit list. (And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they had one.)
Lord knows their supporters are foaming at the mouth. This time, Dawn caught Planned Parenthood Golden Gate bragging about its ability and willingness to protect child rapists. An 11-year-old girl was expressing her thanks for PP not turning in her rapist (yes, she said "rape"), and leaving him free to keep molesting. For healthcare workers (as PP employees claim to be), refusing to report a child molester is a crime in most states, and certainly in California. Naturally, PP tried to cover its tracks by taking down the web page, but Dawn got a screen shot. Being caught red-handed (in several metaphorical senses) meant that it was time to call out the troops to shrill about how the little girl's privacy would be jeopardized if the police were contacted. "It's all about the girl!" they say. "Maybe she'll be afraid to come back if they expose what happened!"
(Update: Amanda's pulled the actual post off her blog at some point, but it's WayBacked here. Scroll down about three-quarters of the way. Comments are lost forever, alas.)
Well, yes. First off, it is all about the girl, or it ought to be. She's been raped, people! Are you so enamored of abortionists that you consider rape a piddly thing when it compromises the industry? Under what other circumstances would you consider rape a tolerable thing? Is there any other rapist you would actively protect from the law? And is it automatically true that PP is better qualified to judge the little girl's welfare than her parents are? Granted, there are some parents who don't have their children's best interests at heart, but they're damned few. You can't assume they don't. Even if they don't (always a possibility, true), you can't assume that the police or the judiciary care nothing for the girl. Contrariwise, we know PP doesn't. And that's the second part.
The perv-protectors who are defending PP on this bleat that reporting the crime (as the law mandates, remember) might inhibit the girl or others like her from coming to PP for help. Indeed it might. Do you really think they want her there because they want to protect children? No, or they would be working with law enforcement, not thwarting them. What PP wants is to see the girl back again. They put her on birth control at 14, she said. When that fails, and the girl gets knocked up, where do you think she'll go for her first abortion? And her second? And her third? At several hundred dollars a pop?
(Yes, I know the abortions will be subsidized, so she's not having to pay. But that doesn't mean PP will do the abortions for free. For that matter, they're not giving away pills or condoms without being compensated for them. It's not a charity.)
I'm from farm country. I understand about maintaining animals for milk, wool, and eventual slaughter. Apparently so does PP. If you give a girl police protection, you risk getting her out of the sex game altogether. If you give her rubbers or pills and encourage her to boink her little brains out, you can keep reaping the benefits until she either hits menopause or dies. And I suspect it doesn't really matter which. With livestock, you get what you can and then have a barbecue.
Everybody sing: Thank heaven... for little girls/Without them what would abortionists do?
