JOHN LEO ACCUSES ABORTION ACTIVISTS OF SENDING MIXED MESSAGE
I've been a fan of John Leo since 1990 when I was a freshman at the University of Wisconsin. At the time, UW had a fascist student speech code, and Leo, at U.S. News and World Report, was one of the few national commentators speaking out on the dangers and absurdity of political correctness. UW's speech code was ruled unconstitutional by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in October 1991.

NOW and Planned Parenthood aren't really sending a mixed message, because it's the same message they have always been sending. NOW and Planned Parenthood don't actually believe in choice. They certainly don't believe that individuals should be free to buy the products of their choice. They certainly don't believe that people should be free to support the social programs of their choice. They certainly don't believe that businesses should be free to contract with workers of their choice. They certainly don't believe that people should be free to observe religious practices in their everyday life. And they certainly don't believe that men should be free to choose or not choose to support a child they do not want. As someone who supports abortion and choice, I would rather NOW and Planned Parenthood stop insulting us all by claiming to be "pro-choice."
