When I asked the national boss of Planned Parenthood how she felt about the national leader of the Democratic Party being pro-life, she gave me a blank look. Cecile Richards' inability to pinpoint that man as Harry Reid (she might have thought I meant Howard Dean) was amusing. But her gushing about Reid all but being an honorary member of the group was stunning: "We really have an incredible friend and ally in Harry Reid. There is no one in the United States Senate who's working harder with us on issues of support for family planning, support for comprehensive sex education for our young people and support for getting affordable birth control." So Reid is pro-life and a Planned Parenthood favorite? A magician, he is.
