Republican Texas state Representative Jonathan Stickland decided to make an Important Statement when he heard people from Planned Parenthood would be visiting the capitol:
![screen cap of Stickland's Facebook status, with a picture of a sign hanging outside his office door reading: 'Today Planned Parenthood is visiting and lobbying the Capitol. In honor of their visit, I put this sign on my office door. Organizations that murder children are not welcome in my office. #prolifeandproudofit' below which is a picture of the sign reading: 'Representative Jonathan Stickland, FORMER FETUS'](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/shakespeares_sister/apix/strickland.jpg)
I'm guessing that "organizations that murder children" aren't welcome in many elected officials' offices. (Unless they are corporations who merely kill children as collateral damage to turning a profit.) Of course, Planned Parenthood does not "murder children." Which is why the totes cool sign outside Stickland's office doesn't read "Former Child."
Insert here the usual commentary about how if anti-choicers want to convince me they really give a fuck about saving "children," their garbage platform wouldn't look like a how-to manual on harming the most vulnerable children in the country.
