If the hits to this blog are any indication, Kate Looby sure has become a popular figure in cyberspace. Looby, the lobbyist for and director of Planned Parenthood for South Dakota, shows up in an ever-increasing number of the internet searches that bring people here. Thus, the interest is being generated by all the recent national publicity over South Dakota’s proposed abortion ban.
In the last couple days people from Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Newfoundland, Canada, (to name a few) have visited because of a “Kate Looby” search. Just her name is the most common search but I had to chuckle when, on the same day the Senate State Affairs Committee approved the abortion bill, there was a search with her name and “lesbian.” In case that person is still curious, to my knowledge Looby is in a traditional marriage with children.
As a side note, let me repeat what I said a year ago: Kate Looby is one of my heroes. I’ve also posted a story at Blogcritics on the recent history of our abortion wars.
The strongest people are not always the people who win, but the people who don’t give up when they lose.
