You know someone is on the wrong side when they attack the majority as extremists. NARAL says "anti-choice leaders" like Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are trying "to score political points with their far-right base." NARAL says that "Earlier this month, Frist tried to attach the so-called "Child Custody Protection Act" to a vote on the minimum wage, but he was forced to back down from this blatant attempt to pacify his right-wing base."
The Child Custody Protection Act would “prohibit taking minors across State lines in circumvention of laws requiring the involvement of parents in abortion decisions.” A poll by the Polling Company July 11, 2006 asks
“Do you agree or disagree that a person should be able to take a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion without her parents’ knowledge?" 82 percent said no. Since when is 82 percent appealing to the extremist base? 15 percent said yes.
You can tell when someone is losing their minds when they call everyone extremists.
NARAL knows that girls are more likely to be impregnated by a man than a boy. They know that clinics are used to cover up for statutory rapists. They know clinics almost never report. They know that parents of teen fathers of the child use clinics to cover their son's responsibility. The one thing they don't want is for parents to know. They could ruin the whole thing. They'd lose their abortion.
Parents need to know in order to be responsible and to be true parents. Shame on groups like NARAL who undermine parents.
