A MAN WITH A MEMORY LOOKS AT LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO | 2005-04-02

Less than two weeks ago a little nine-year-old girl was raped and murdered by a repeat sex offender.

Again.

Her father, obviously a regular working man, choked back his tears and begged the country to PLEASE, at long last, get these perverts off the streets before more little girls were killed.

It was national news less than two weeks ago.

Remember?

The man said he was going to the state capitol to BEG the legislators to do something about these child molesters. The whole country was with him. Geraldo Rivera was interviewing him and said he would be there, too.

Remember?

But then the right-to-life bureaucracy got itself a big, juicy cause. A brain-dead woman was ordered off of life support. They marched and picketed and grabbed all the publicity.

I complained in my blog that this big, juicy right-to-life story was going to hog all the publicity thousands of molested children and thousands more children who are going to be molested and murdered desperately needed.

I pointed out that, thanks to the pro-life industry, thousands more children will have their lives ruined and many will be murdered before anything is done. This week hundreds of children will be molested. But the pro-life industry can't be bothered with that.

Have you heard anything about that murdered little girl on the news since right-to-life hogged all the coverage?

I haven't.
