"This situation is a demonstration of the left's hypocrisy writ large."
Who's to say the parents are lefties? Though it wouldn't surprise me if they are. I've seen hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. Nothing astonishes me anymore . . . I think.
I don't know what the parents' political leanings are but it is fair to say that there are surely many right-leaning republicans who claim to be pro-life until their daughter gets knocked up by a black man.
In fact, there are probably many on this forum who quietly sympathize with the parents and are hoping for a slap on the wrist --they're just not going to come out and say it.
