A "Family Planning Organization"???
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US politics veered towards a battleground charred by past fights over abortion, after President George W. Bush goaded Democrats by picking a judge with solid conservative credentials for the Supreme Court.Planned Parenthood is a "family planning organization"??? Try "abortion provider" or "mutilator of millions of innocent children" or "enabler of murder" or "evil Leftist organization," but not "family planning organization."

Alito's opponents and supporters have already concluded his long paper trail of past judgments on the bench will see him back the conservative position on several key test cases on abortion expected to soon come before the Court.
"We are trusting that we are now on the fast-track to derailing Roe v Wade as the law of the land," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group.
Another conservative group, Catholic Priests for Life, acknowledged some senators would challenge Alito's nomination on the grounds that it threatened "so-called 'abortion rights.'"
"But the American people are already deciding that their Constitution does not permit dismembering children," said Frank Pavone, the group's national director.

Planned Parenthood, a family planning organization, reacted to Alito's nomination by branding that dissent a "callous disregard of battered women" who in theory could have been forced to tell abusive spouses about abortions.
Alito's "confirmation would radically transform the Supreme Court and create a direct threat to the health and safety of American women," the group said.
The pro-choice National Organisation for Women (NOW) also pledged to oppose the nomination over abortion.
"If Alito is confirmed by the US Senate, many of our fundamental rights will be at great risk," NOW president Kim Gandy warned. (emphasis added)
Abortion isn't "family planning," it is "family destroying."
This is why the nomination and, hopefully, the confirmation, of Judge Samuel Alito is so important, and why Harriet Miers was not the right person for the job. Millions of babies have been murdered with the help of organizations like Planned Parenthood and NOW. To combat their murdering spree, we must re-establish the right to life in America.
This is going to be a battle, but we, as the righteous ones, will be victorious ultimately.
