Thanks mcnorman. Amazing how the MSM helps sell the notion that McCain is being deceptive while Obama was the one who repeatedly lied about his support for the legislation.

Great post. I was wondering about the PAC myself.

Karen,

Wondered that myself so did a bit of research. The ad was created by their PAC, which differs from a 527 like Swfiteboat in that a PAC is allowed to directly support a candidate as opposed to speaking out on an issue.

From their website: The Planned Parenthood Action Fund Political Action Committee (Planned Parenthood Federal PAC) is a non-partisan political action committee committed to supporting pro-choice, pro-family planning candidates for federal office.

Annoying perhaps, but legal.

BA,

I agree. In fact I would recommend legislation that covers two specific areas, educating children on what is apprpriate and what is not appropriate (in an age specific manner of course) while requiring teachers, aids and anyone else who will come in contact with children in the school environment, to submit to a comprehensive background check and also require yearly training on appropriate conduct and how to recognize inappropriate conduct.

Thanks for the thoughts…

Wait a minute! Isn’t Planned Parenthood registered as a non-profit? They also receive tons of federal dollars. How can they legally be putting out campaign ads that support/attack specific candidates?

Younger children have to be taught to stay clear from dangerous things, areas, persons or situations. Comprehensive sex education is overkill. And teachers are in a kind of conflict of interests. Most sexually aggressive conduct towards children and teenagers come from relatives, priests, pastors, etc. and teachers. Things might have changed, but this is the way things used to be.
