Ashcroft would love to peek into your history

WRAP YOUR mind around this one.

It's the law now: if you buy a gun on, say, Monday morning, then by the time you've had breakfast on Tuesday, the record of that sale will be in the shredder -- gone.

Don't thank me -- thank John Ashcroft, your attorney general.

The man is an absolute guard dog when it comes to sticking up for the privacy of gun owners. He wouldn't even let his FBI agents use the agency's own database to find out whether any of the 1,200 people it detained after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had bought any guns lately. They might be arrested, they might be jailed until the crack of doom without seeing a lawyer or a loved one -- but we'll never know whether they bought a gun.

Now Ashcroft, the man who won't let the sun go down on gun-buying records, has sent out process servers to go knocking on the doors of six hospitals and six Planned Parenthood offices with subpoenas demanding those most private of records: medical data on thousands of patients, because he's being sued over a new law making so-called partial birth abortion a federal crime.

Women go to Planned Parenthood clinics for lots of reasons: for birth control, for prenatal checkups, for treating sexually transmitted diseases -- that's more than 90 percent of their clients right there -- and for abortions.

1. Ok Ashcroft, here's a little history for you

on second thought, fuck you. You don't need any. I apologize to any DUers that may be offended by my language, but not to Asscroft. Edited for spelling.

3. that is horrendous--demanding medical records so you can catch a woman

breaking federal law, harrass her, and her doctor, and then possibly prosecute her and her doctor, for murder. This is horrendous--the bastard is as insane as Hitler's henchmen.

I keep conjuring up the image of Bush sitting at his desk,laughing and smirking and all aglow, with about seven white haired, pot bellied, bloviating good old boys smirking behind him, absolutely pleased that they will be able to finally, under God, control women, who are a great big threat to men with sagging, pendulous, probably non working, balls. That is how desperate they are to show the world their waning power. That image is one of the most poignant of all the ones to come out of the White HOuse when Bush signs something.
