I think the ABBY JOHNSON HAS SEEEEN THE LIGHT saga is so hilarious, I needed to post it here.

It starts with rejoicing from the pro-life community! Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood clinic director, participated in an abortion procedure and it turned her pro-life! She quit her job and joined the Life Coalition in consequence! Hallelujah!!....

hi - i don't mean to pick... but if i don't, some asshole troll will

[eyelid]

oh, I see what you are saying. I was confused by the language used in the Salon Broadsheet. I will correct.

[denelian]

yeah - it was very confusing.
and when i read the Salon, i thought the same thing [the only abortions that month were on Sept 12] but i read the Texas Convert *after* i read the Salon article. if i had read them in the other order, i probably would have just thought it was only on Sept 12.

everything else i said stands though - and i didn't say it before [because i suck] but really, thank you for posting this! it's very important that we [pro-choice people, i mean] pay attention and remember all of the lies and deceit, so that we can fight them. i had lost this particular snafu [i blame school...] so it was good to have it brought back up and discussed.

Man, if it were me, I would totally come forward and press charges against her ass. The thing is, she's being so vague that you can't (she only claims it was a black woman, which is an interesting choice I think) but there's absolutely no reason any sane doctor would call down a clinic director with no formal training to operate a fucking ultrasound.

i wish *someone* would, ya know?

you're right, it's really damned vague. it's one of those "who are you going to believe statements" and the "pro-life" crowd tends to be *really* anti-science and anti-doctors, so would dismiss the whole thing.

i wish i knew how to deal with stuff like this...
