D.A. Grady clears Planned Parenthood in pro-life 'sting'

There is no legal basis for a criminal investigation of the local Planned Parenthood office called for by pro-life advocates, Dutchess County's top prosecutor said Tuesday.

--Poughkeepsie Journal--

"For them to initiate a call to law enforcement under that example without the victim's consent would amount to professional misconduct on their part," Grady said. There's a major flaw in this excuse, Mr. Grady. The "consent" of a 13 year-old is meaningless - that's why sex with a 13 year-old girl is a crime regardless of consent. In New York, a 13 year-old girl can get an abortion without her parents' consent, so they may not even know about the crime. What adults then, other than the perpetrator and the Planned Parenthood employees, even know that consent is required?

Also, Mr. Grady, Jerry Moynihan reported that under Schuyler County Department of Social Services et al v. Schuyler Hospital Inc., The defendant hospital maintained there was no regulatory mandate that a hospital release such medical records without court order, subpoena, or consent that doing so would subject defendant to potential liability for breach of confidentiality and physician priviledge, breach of contract, defamation and invasion of privacy. The Court ruled "Since release of medical records is required by law, defendant is entitled to the immunity afforded under Social Services Law 419; it need not fear exposure to civil liability." Under Kimberly, another case law decision the court ruled "We conclude that a mandated reporter is obligated to report suspected child sexual abuse based upon facts and circumstances within the knowledge of the reporter." How do you respond to that, Mr. Grady? And maybe an even better question should be directed at the Poughkeepsie Journal reporter who wrote the story. Ms. Westover and Mr. Moynihan included the above information in their presentation to the Dutchess County Legislature, and you were there when they presented it. Why didn't you ask Mr. Grady to address these questions?- Ed.

TV ads equate owning an SUV with supporting terrorists

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Ratcheting up the debate over sport-utility vehicles, new television commercials suggest that people who buy them are supporting terrorists. Some television stations are refusing to run the provocative ads.

--Minneapolis Star Tribune--

This is a supreme example of the hypocrisy of the self-righteous left. This ad is being produced and financed by millionaires like author and columnist Arianna Huffington, film producer Steve Bing; comedian and "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David, and television producer Norman Lear. These people live in huge mansions which use prodigious amounts of energy to heat and cool. They fly around the country in private jets, and are chauffeured in huge limousines. But despite their own excesses, they condemn us for not living up to a standard they themselves wouldn't dream of living up to. - Ed.

Watchdog Group Warns Higher Taxes Won't Cure State Budget Woes

According to a lyric in the song "Ball of Confusion" by the Motown group The Temptations, "Politicians say more taxes will solve everything. And the band played on."

--CNSNews.com--

"[Republican] Gary Johnson was sworn in to his first term as governor of New Mexico in 1995 on a promise to remain 'the consummate antipolitician.' He succeeded. Best known nationally for his controversial stand against the drug war, his more lasting legacy will be as a 'Governor No' who remained popular while vetoing a record 742 bills, suffering only two veto overrides. He even vetoed a bill his wife pushed that would have waived college tuition for some youths in foster care. In a state which Al Gore won, Republican Gov. Johnson won re-election with 55% of the vote in 1998 after supporting school choice, opposing hate-crime legislation and privatizing two new prisons. He was able to roll back a six-cent gasoline-tax hike and hold the state's budget to a average 6% annual increase during his two terms. The result is that New Mexico is now one of a handful of states in the country without a deficit. Indeed, incoming Democratic Governor Bill Richardson won in part by promising to push through the income tax cut Mr. Johnson failed to get through the Democratic legislature." --John Fund (Gov. Pataki take note. - Ed.)

President to Seek Dividend Tax Cut

CRAWFORD, Tex., - President Bush plans to announce an economic package Tuesday that will emphasize cuts in the tax on stock dividends while including tax breaks for personal income and capital investments, administration officials said today.

--Washington Post--

I've already heard one "liberal" blasting this as another "tax cut for the rich," but it's one that is long overdue. The secret "liberals" want to keep secret is that stock dividends are how a lot of senior citizens support themselves, and the people "liberals" habitually label "rich" are often senior citizens who have amassed enough assets to live off of in retirement. This is an issue of "fairness," which is something "liberals" like to pretend to favor, except when it comes to real fairness. Stock dividends are what a corporation distributes to its stockholders after it has paid taxes on its income. It's not fair to tax it again after the stockholder receives it. - Ed.

Anti-Abortion Plates 'Unconstitutional'

A federal judge declared unconstitutional South Carolina's license plates with the anti-abortion slogan "Choose Life."

--ABC News--

"It's wrong for the government to provide a forum for one group and discriminate by viewpoint," said Peter Murphy, an attorney for Planned Parenthood. So why doesn't Planned Parenthood go to the state legislature and petition for a plate with "choose abortion" on it? But they can't do that - it would be too honest. They'd rather hide behind euphemisms like "choice," and if you ask me, I'd say that what really twists their shorts is using the word "choose" in the "slogan." Not only do they want "choice" as a euphemism for abortion, they want exclusive rights to it. - Ed.
