DIRTY JOBS

There used to be a show on TV called Dirty Jobs, where the host, Mike Rowe, went all over the country in search of the worst jobs. He would actually do the work and discover how tough it can be out there. He would work in a pig sty or get messy on oil rigs, sewers and packing plants.

I’m here to submit that Mike Rowe had it pretty easy because I think I’ve found the toughest job on earth. Try working for Planned Parenthood and you’ll see what a dirty job really is.

Imagine driving to work and maneuvering through the protesters who yell “baby killer” at you as you try to park.  Laws have been passed to keep the protesters a certain distance from the facility, but nothing keeps these extremists from using their voices as a weapon.

That’s the easy part of the job and one most likely learns to ignore the nuisance. What is impossible to ignore are the death threats and the loss of privacy from having your personal information posted on hateful websites so you can be harassed further by anonymous cowards. I’d take mucking in manure any day over that type of terrorism.

It takes true courage and a commitment to women’s health that most of us take for granted. So support those brave souls who literally put their lives on the line for women everywhere. Thank you, Planned Parenthood.
