Pry the right to the 'pill' from my cold, dead fingers
By D. PARVAZ
P-I COLUMNIST I've never felt like popping a birth control pill more in my life. I don't need one at the moment, but Saturday is The Pill Kills day, and I feel like committing a little bit of murder. What is it that I feel like killing? A really, really ill conceived (zing!) anti-choice campaign organized by the American Life League. So, June 7 is special because, according to the project's Web site, it "marks the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griswold v. Connecticut," which "was the first of many decisions that led to the culture of death we live in today." No, they're not talking about the war, gang violence or drunken drivers. They're talking about our right to choose when and how to start a family. In the case they're referring to, the majority ruled that privacy is protected by the Constitution and that the right to privacy extended to access to birth control.
