Remember the bratpack cowboy flick Young Guns<\/a><\/em>? Emilio Estevez played the part of Billy \u201cthe Kid.\u201d That\u2019s how I\u2019ve always pictured Marc Barnes, since he was knee-high to a grasshopper<\/a>. And that\u2019s what I call him too.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kid\u201d is a straight shooter, and one hell of a marksman to boot. Check out what happens when the Guttmacher Institute<\/a>, you know, the respectable scientific research arm of Planned Parenthood, crossed his path.<\/p>\n

One of the more exciting hobbies of The Guttmacher Institute \u2014 besides receiving annual donations from Planned Parenthood \u2014 is demanding greater legal access to abortion in countries where abortion is restricted. This demand blooms from studies of these countries \u2014 usually Guttmacher\u2019s \u2014 which consistently find high numbers of illegal abortions and abortion-related maternal deaths.<\/p>\n

Their message is simple: Legalize abortion, for there exists a massive need for it, and women are dying in their attempt to meet that need with unsafe, illegal abortion. And for the past thirty years or so, we\u2019ve all nodded dutifully, thanked Guttmacher for their hip-as-all-get-out videos explaining this, worked up compassionate faces, and legalized abortion.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the issue: The methods with which The Guttmacher Institute and researchers of the same vein use to procure these drastic numbers are decisively moronic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
