‘Bulletin’ Runs Best Lead Ever

In a column by Judie Brown, president of the American Life League:

When I first heard about the recently produced documentary, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, there was no real desire on my part to dig into the subject. After all, I thought, what has this got to do with ending abortion and stopping the spread of promiscuity that accompanies the entire panoply of birth control products?

Geeze, a little obsessed with your job, eh, Judie? After the jump, a bunch more excerpts to ease the pain of a Monday.

• It seems that our cultural attitudes about sexuality are one of Dick’s concerns.
• This film and the Web site that discuss it are jam-packed with the sort of sexual innuendo - my mom used to call it porn - that leaves one wondering how anyone could waste a minute on such trash.
• They are not satisfied with Desperate Housewives run amuck and Days of Our Lives sin. Oh no. You see, they want the “G” rating for films that present the viewer with either a long line of deleted expletives or the explicit presentation of total frontal nudity or both.
• One statistician recently said that by the age of 40, about 60 percent of American women will have had at least one abortion; many will have had many more than that.
• Far be it from me to ever be described as a prude; but it is obvious that sexual saturation - a condition our culture suffers from in spades - has contributed to an increasing desire for earlier abortion, escalating pressure for vaccines to protect the young from sexually transmitted diseases and deafening demands for freedom from God and all that is holy. (Editor’s Note: Prude.)

I love op-ed columns. Love ‘em.
