Or something like that. Curt Jester suggests what that iPod might look like in response to a question from Dawn Eden.
The only problem is that, with Planned Parenthood, satire is much too close to reality for comfort.

Natural (read: God’s) Law Will Not Go Quietly
What do women want? Love, nurture, and sensitivity. What do men want? Respect, admiration, and to provide for their families. Sounds suspiciously like Ephesians 5:33…
Denial Couched in Admission
Planned Parenthood cannot escape the implications for too much longer.
More on Afghan Convert Abdul Rahman
Any government or judicial system that persecutes individuals, especially because of their religion, should face penalties. It’s that simple. If Pres. Karzai is going to allow things like this to happen in his country, he’s going to have to face the international music.
Michelle Malkin has commented:
Embarrassingly, the governments of Italy and Germany have already stepped forward to make direct appeals to Karzai to save Rahman’s life. Hamid Karzai has ducked the issue so far. Our feckless State Department is “monitoring” the situation.
If we sit on the sidelines and watch this man “cut into little pieces” for his love of Christ, we do not deserve the legacy of liberty our Founding Fathers left us. How about offering Rahman asylum in the United States? Perhaps Yale University, proud sponsor of former Taliban official Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, can offer Rahman a scholarship. Where’s the Catholic Church, so quick to offer sanctuary to every last illegal alien streaming across the borders? And how about Hollywood, so quick to take up the cause of every last Death Row inmate?
Hello, anyone, hello?
So has Charles Colson:
The irony is inescapable: This is the country that we rid of the Taliban because of its religious oppression. This is the country in which we have spent at least $70 billion to establish a free democratic government. This is the country whose freedom cost us three hundred American lives and eight hundred casualties. And this is the country that is preparing to execute a man for becoming a Christian after he witnessed other Christians caring for his countrymen.
Is this the fruit of democracy? Is this why we have shed American blood and invested American treasure to set a people free? What have we accomplished for overthrowing the Taliban? This is the kind of thing we would expect from the Taliban, not from President Karzai and his freely elected democratic government.
I have supported the Bush administrations foreign policy because I came to believe that the best way to stop Islamo-fascism was by promoting democracy. But if we cant guarantee fundamental religious freedoms in the countries where we establish democratic reforms, then the whole credibility of our foreign policy is thrown into serious question. I hope the president and the administration can recognize what a devastating setback Rahmans execution would be to the cause of democracy and freedom.
So has Pres. Bush:
“We expect them to honor the universal principle of freedom,” Bush said during a town hall meeting in Wheeling, W. Va. “It is deeply troubling that a country we helped liberate would hold a person to account because they chose a particular religion over another.
“I’m troubled when I hear, deeply troubled when I hear, the fact that a person who converted away from Islam may be held to account. That’s not the universal application of the values that I talked about. I look forward to working with the government of that country to make sure that people are protected in their capacity to worship,” he continued.
Will the President do anything substantial? Can he?
May the Lord preserve Mr. Rahman faithful unto death.
