WHILE THE RIGHT ADVOCATES FOR THOSE WITH BRAINS (via Rick Turley):
Kate Michelman, The Public Face Of a Woman's Right to Privacy (Linton Weeks, January 12, 2006, Washington Post)
Kate Michelman is the face of reproductive rights. It's a thin face with high cheekbones, dark eyes that can light up and a mouth with a corner that upturns at comic moments. [...]Last night several hundred friends and well-wishers showed up at the Woman's National Democratic Club near Dupont Circle for cheese, wine and a celebration Michelman's book and her mission. Guests included former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton and Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.). [...]
Albright told everyone that Michelman had provided "a voice for those who didn't have a voice and a brain for those who didn't have a brain."
That she thinks herself the voice of the brainless could explain why she advocates crushing and vaccuuming out kids' skulls. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 12, 2006 4:13 PM
"Kate Michelman is the face of reproductive rights. It's a thin face with high cheekbones, dark eyes..."
Good description of a death's head.
Posted by: Luciferous at January 12, 2006 4:44 PMDid Albright succeed in ousting Dan Qualye's United Negro College Fund eloquence from the top spot?
Ahhh, it's damn close.

Unless they're, um, babies in the womb right up til month nine.
