The Tragic Double Standard That Protects Abortionists

"If Planned Parenthood Were Toyota" -- That's the very potent piece over at the National Catholic Register written by Pat Archbold. It's a very good article, one you might forward to legislators and your state attorney general as well as your friends. Here are excerpts:

As you probably have heard by now, President and CEO of Toyota Corp., Akio Toyoda was dragged before Congress this week to explain why his company did not do more to address critical safety issues with their vehicles that resulted in several deaths.


Vehicle safety is surely an important issue and we expect companies, when they become aware of these issues, to deal with them promptly and effectively. Lives depend on it.


It was in this context that Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) addressed Mr Toyoda saying: “I am not satisfied with your testimony,” she said. “I do not feel it reflects sufficient remorse for those who have died, and I do not think you have accurately reflected the large number of complaints that have been filed for more than a decade. Where is the remorse?”
