This should be rich. I'm sure all those indians can't wait to get their free abortions, and I'm sure these Democrats can find someone to teach them how to use condoms. And, I just know the tribes are excited about bestowing marriage rights to indian homosexuals. They can look forward to turning all their firearms as well. Heck, I'll bet there's an organizing movement going on in San Francisco as I write, so they can send trainers to all the reservations.

There was a village up in Alaska that had been after Indian Health Services to just send up a nurse or something to conduct health screenings. The village elders were rather concerned about the number of the tribal members who had passed away over the winter.

IHS sent a team to the village; the supplies they brought were AIDS tests, other VD tests, condoms, flyers for parenting classes, instructional materials for birth control, etc. The village elders looked at the request from the health services people and shook their heads; again noting that they wanted to do health screenings - check blood pressure, a fasting blood sugar test, etc.

The health professionals smiled and assured the elder that change can come to his village. Teens don't attend these classes and just start going wild.

The elders rolled their eyes and spoke among themselves for a bit then their representative turned back and gave the decision - the elders would permit the visit, but there was something that the pros needed to know first - the youngest woman in the village was fifty-two years old.
