"Young girls who engage in sexual activity are looking for affirmation. Older men who want to have sex with them know how to exploit that," says Forney, 44, of Pittsburgh. "Abortion makes this easier for the perpetrators.

Her record of service will not be enough, nor will her minority credentials. Not unless the Dems really are dumb enough to run Howard Dean.

Our editorial policy is that we don't use emotive words when labeling someone," said David A. Schlesinger, Reuters' global managing editor. "Any paper can change copy and do whatever they want. But if a paper wants to change our copy that way, we would be more comfortable if they remove the byline." Mr. Schlesinger said he was concerned that changes like those made at CanWest could lead to "confusion" about what Reuters is reporting and possibly endanger its reporters in volatile areas or situations. "My goal is to protect ...
