How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Pro-Life Club is "Antiabortion Club" to Media

I saw this headline this morning at washingtonpost.com: "Teen Wins Fight for Antiabortion Club at School."  Of course it isn't called the "Antiabortion Club."  In real life (as opposed to the imagined and hoped-for world of our media elites) it's called the "Pro-Life Club."  But why bother reporting obnoxious details like that when your mainstream media style guide won't let you use bizarre phrases like "Pro-Life."  I'm glad the girl won the case; she should have won.  As she says, "It's not a radical thing to expect equal treatment."

The club promotes teen sexual abstinence as well as opposing abortion, so obviously school administrators had initially turned the club down "on the grounds that it was not tied to the school curriculum."  Ha!  I imagine the club's goals are rather in opposition to the school curriculum.  Good thing.
