The piece goes on to provide insightful and eye-opening information on the issue of women's health:
Women do not need Planned Parenthood for their basic health care. And the vouchers are not lifesaving, they are political instruments of the pro-choice movement. More importantly, contraception and abortion are not forms of "health care": They are lifestyle choices with life-altering consequences.
Apparently contraception (E.g - A condom) that may prevent sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies is not a form of health care. Neither is an abortion in the case of an unwanted or accidental pregnancy. Thanks for clearing that one up Washington Times.
The article ends with this condemnation:
Shame on Planned Parenthood for granting death certificates. The organization fails to grasp the meaning of life, let alone the spirit of the holiday season.
It is with great disgust and with a little bit of sad amusement that I announce the first ever winner of poLOLitics' highest ranking award, the:
Arguably one of the most disgusting and bigoted people in the mainstream media today, Ann LOLter has the distinguished honor of holding poLOLitics' highest lol-scale rating. The Ann LOLter is reserved for those very special instances where someone displays a complete lack of understanding of reality and is in fact just downright appalling. Some of Ann LOLter's greatest hits include: "I think our motto should be, post-9-11: raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences." And who could forget: "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."
Congratulations to the Washington Times for progressing sexist and anti-civil rights doctrines! May they continue to so bravely protect the holiday spirit!

Planned parenthood, as an organization that receives roughly a third of its funding from the government, is an interesting case. It is certainly a not-for-profit healthcare provider, which is good. It is also certainly an organization that supports the abolishment of laws requiring minors to tell their parents/guardians before getting an abortion. While some abortion laws are unnecessarily restrictive, this one is actually important, at least to me. It's also consistent, considering in high school I wasn't allowed to get Advil from the nurse without a note from my parents. Nevertheless, this group also has been found to not report statutory rape, even in the case of a 13 year old girl (yes the article is from Fox News, no this does not make it false. It's here.). That said, the $25 check is really sort of a non-issue, and if anything a good thing. If the Washington Times has beef with Planned Parenthood, that's fine and there are plenty of acceptable reasons, but this "gift" isn't really one of them

I apologize for the comment my wife, Nicole McHolecaw, left up on your web company's web page earlier. I assure you that in the normal run of things, I am a competent American typist of great typitude.
She, like all women, struggles to express--or "caw"--even the most simple of thoughts. I hoped to cure her by regressing her weakened female body to a more robust, American state by injecting her in the uterus with a mixture of goat milk, goat blood, and goat whisky. Sadly, my efforts were something of a Communist abortion, and I worried that I would have to seek a divorce, which is expressly forbidden in Leviticus, Mark, John, and many, many others. Blackie McHolecaw seeks not the Communist woman, no more than he seeks the heathen hole of man.
I once believed Ann Coulter cawwed the unadulterated American truth. Then I took a second look. A hard, cawwful second look... and there, in her hideous RUSSIAN bone structure there lies a communist demon waiting to emerge! BEHOLD! CAWWWW!

There will come a mighty day of reckoning, when the Lieberal and the Demoncrat will be raped by the righteous in the garden of Eden. But those holy rapists of yesteryore and tomorrowday who unveil the mighty Republicock of Justful Rape must be righteous in form and thought, with the genitalia of American President-Kings and the dainty sandwich-making hands of our lesser halves.
Let us caw.

I was going to respond to this in my own words but I just keep on ranting incoherently.. so heres what my all knowing mother said:
"Oh boy, what a biased report!!
It is actually a scheme where people can give gift certificates to help cover the costs for any of the services planned parenthood offers…. Which includes pap smears mammograms etc. The idea is to help women get those essential services by helping with the cost. I heard someone from PP interviewed and she agreed that the certificates could be presented for any of the services they offer but it is aimed at wellness care and abortion is not their intent. Imagine the idea… giving someone a gift certificate in case they get pregnant…. Not very likely. If you already are pregnant you need cold hard cash…not wasting time going to buy a voucher!
Angry mum!"

In a personal side note though, this caw guy is amazingly scary..
Well, Slice, it is for that exact reason (wanting to rant incoherently) that this article received the Ann LOLter rating. The article takes on an uncomfortably biased tone in regards to women's health and I get the sneaking suspicion that it's author(s) may have been men.
You can look forward to plenty more lol-scale ratings in the future. Kevin and I still have plenty up our sleeves - and you can always count on people like Ann Coulter to say something stupid!
Oh, and it's an editorial, which implies that the entire editorial board of the Washington Times contributed, and I have to assume that at least one of them is a woman.
