  1. The only thing she did wrong was apologize. Abortion Super Parks It's way too easy to get sidetracked into a discussion about exemptions for rape, incest, and the life or health of the woman, or into quibbling about Planned Parenthood's functions, and that's exactly how the anti-choicers want it. When we get swept into harping about the worst-case scenarios, we miss the point that abortion is a fundamental right for EVERY woman, regardless of the circumstances. ABORTION SUPER PARK I don't care if Planned Parenthood provides nothing BUT abortion services. I don't care if it's a million-story abortion superpark with abortion waterslides and an abortion electrical parade. Abortion is legal. ABORTION IS LEGAL. If I read one more 'defense' of Planned Parenthood that says "it's not JUST abortions!" or "only 5% of what they do is abortion! And abortions aren't federally funded!" I'm going to abort myself. Abortion is legal, culturally necessary, and good for humanity. It has been and will be practiced for millennia. It is essential. It is a fact. By minimizing, denying or apologizing for this fact, you are allowing these venal anti-woman Nazis to frame this debate and continue to chip away at this essential right. It is a fact. It is a right. Demand it, fight for it, and for the sake of the women who have given their lives to defend it, stop apologizing for it.
