Ok... at the risk of igniting a debate: how does Planned Parenthood equate to statuatory rape?

IIRC, there were a few incidences of them helping underage girls get the morning after pill before it was needed.

It's a bit of a stretch to equate Planned Parenthood folks providing the morning after pill to underagers with the ACORN folks telling someone how to defraud the government...

Several cases of them covering up pregnant teens who told them the fathers were upwards of 40+, in short.

That said, this makes me happy.  Quite unfortunate it's just a shell game really.  The same people at the helm will rename move and the public will likely never be the wiser.

Nevermind the Planned Parenthood employee in question was fired immediately. That's just irrelevant. Let us also forget there is exactly one recorded case of this.

On the other hand, there's of course no FEderal authority to fund even one abortion.

Unrelated cells but a pervasive culture.  What the videos appear to indicate, at least to me, is that the ethos of ACORN is more than just "ghetto," the end result of civil and social ignorance and retardation, but the product of deliberate training.  I think we are going to find that ACORN is subversive, a home-grown de facto terror group.  That they don't use IEDs but instead explode morality and republican values makes them no less terrorists.

All the authorities are going to do, if they proceed, is de-legitimize the law itself.  Not a very good idea.

Senate Votes to De-fund ACORN on Housing

The House of Representatives passed a similar spending bill without restrictions on ACORN. The House and Senate must resolved differences before a final measure can be sent to Obama to sign into law.

It's not over until it's over.  Keep an eye on it.

Anyone from the House that wants to keep their seat is going to have a HARD time justifying reconciliation that gives money to ACORN.  The Senate voted wisely, and the House voted prior to the ACORN scandal.  House is gonna have to give ground here.
