Mein Kampf Is Not My Son
Good evidence for Southerners keen to point out that folks above the Mason-Dixon line have some unresolved racial issues: This couple allegedly tied up their 19-year old daughter and took her across state lines to get an abortion -- supposedly because the daughter's lover is black!
A bill recently passed in the Senate making it a federal crime to take a minor across state lines to get an abortion wouldn't cover this circumstance. For one thing, obviously the young lady is not a minor. Secondly, the the Child Custody Protection Act only pertains to adults who transport minors without the parents permission.
Here, obviously, it was the parents who gave permission for the abortion -- and the daughter who opposed it.
Oh well, at least Margaret Sanger would have approved!
