My best friend had an abortion. She was 16. She went to an abortion clinic, paid for the procedure, and had the procedure done. There was no need way back then for parental consent. Some children will discuss things like this with their parents, others won't.

As far as clinics, kids can just lie about their age anyway. I've never been ID'd at the doctor's office.

So, if you buy this "very small relationship with Acorn in 1982" ....sm
ergo, from Obama's own mouth: "My executive experience is from being a community organizer (with Acorn)" --

Now, that sounds to me, from your post, that he was involved with a group called "Project Vote" --

Let's connect the dots here.....kinda sorta like the scandal hitting the fans lately with all the voter registration fraud that Acorn's involved with now, doncha think?

Sounds like what Obama was doing, way back in 1982?

Nice executive experience.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.....like I'm going to be sick again.....
