And let the games begin; Planned Parenthood releases tough new ad against McCain and sex-ed

[TeamJordan23]

Planned Parenthood Action Fund has a tough new ad responding to McCain's attack on Obama's support for some sex-ed for kindergartners. The ad defends Obama, and suggests McCain is indifferent to the plight of sexually abused children.

"Every eight minutes a child is sexually abused. That's why Barack Obama supported legislation to teach children how to protect themselves. Now John McCain is twisting the facts and attackign Senator Obama," says the female narrator, over images that suggest abused children.

"Doesn't McCain want our children to protect ourselves from sex offenders? Or after 26 years in Washington, is he just another politician who will say anything to get elected?"

A reader noticed the ad in Planned Parenthood's YouTube account; I'll add details about where it's airing when they're available.

32. Planned Parenthood is great.

In college they gave my then-girlfriend a free pap smear and sets of pills. For that I will always support them.
