"It's not Planned Parenthood. No, it's planned genocide. You can quote me on that."

Hmmm... Herman Cain or those nice college kids with the video?

Sometimes the choice between one camp and another is just so very clear. Conservative presidential hopeful Herman Cain speaks to the Heritage Foundation and makes this statement about a major provider of women's health services, including routine checkups and birth control:

"It's not Planned Parenthood. No, it's planned genocide. You can quote me on that."

Awesome. We'd love to. On the other side of the debate, we've got these friendly looking college kids reminding you that Americans like them have sex and enjoy it, or at least plan to. Since most of them are heterosexual, by the odds, they're all into the planning part of parenthood.

Sidenote: This video comes from the Coffee Party, which, while remaining super-civil, has also begun taking positions on issues.

1. Wow, they really just don't get anything outside the narrow scope of what they've been told.

"Genocide" is what happens when poor women are stripped of access to healthcare.

We're not doing a very good job of getting the message out about Planned Parenthood and the OTHER services they provide to women, fetii and the post-born.
