Planned Parenthood-NOW More Than Ever!
I just got a newsletter from Planned Parenthood and inside the missive was a picture of three people picketing against the use of birth control outside the Charleston Planned Parenthood center. The caption explained that organizations opposed to birth control scheduled protests at Planned Parenthood clinics in Charlottesville (VA), Winston-Salem (NC) and Charleston (SC) on June 6th to coincide with the 44th anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut decision, which legalized the sale of contraceptives to married couples. The court case was prompted by the arrested of Planned Parenthood employee Estelle Griswold, who sold condoms to four married couples for the purpose of preventing pregnancy. I’ll pause here so that you can reread that last sentence and ponder a country that would actually prosecute a health worker who sold condoms to married people.

South Carolina to Governor Sanford "SHUT UP and GO AWAY"
This week’s developments concerning Governor Mark Sanford prove the old saying, “Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself.” Just when I thought Sanford had skated away from being forced to resign or even being subjected to a SLED investigation, he hosts a visit by the Associated Press and reopens the case against his continued tenure as South Carolina’s governor. In a long, emotional interview Sanford opened up about other visits with his Argentinean girl friend and discussed his flirtations with other women as well. Most damming and hurtful of all were his continued defense of his affair, “This was a whole lot more than a simple affair; this was a love story, a forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.” Sanford compounded the pain of that confession by saying, he was “trying to fall back in love with his wife.” How nice of him. For those men who aren’t enlightened enough to understand the impact of these statements let me spell it out for you; casual sex with another woman might be overlooked but when a married man speaks of loving the other woman and dares to call his mistress his “soul-mate” the marriage is officially over. Jenny Sanford would be a fool to take his worthless, hurtful ass back now and there are no indications that Jenny is that foolish. She’s certainly been treated like a fool by her husband in the past but those days are over.
