Anti-choice is the new black

Who would have thought that Orlando Bloom and Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline would ever have something in common? Both the actor and the anti-choice litigator are featured in the November issue of GQ magazine. (Orlando has better hair though.)

The nine-page article carries the headline, “This man will do anything to stop abortion.”
The author of the article is GQ correspondent Andrew Corsello, who focused much of his attention on a lengthy dinner conversation he had with Kline and Kline’s wife about abortion.
The second page of the piece bears an image of a fetus with a subhead that says “Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline says he wants to get people talking honestly about abortion, to make people think about abortion. So why has he become the most aggressive abortion litigator in the land, subpoenaing the medical records of abortion clinics and prying into our private sexual histories? Meet the future of the pro-life movement.”

What I find bizarre: Kline’s spokesman Whitney Watson said Kline was “pleased with the article.” Pleased? Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Kline has no shame.
