Well, it appears that the matter was quietly settled on September 16.
The two sides issued a joint press release with very few details.
However, that does not deter the spinners at Lifeshite and other Xian organs.
Don Hutchinson, the vice president of the Centre for Faith and Public Life and legal counsel for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, commented on the settlement in a recent editorial and says he thinks the language of the press release makes it appear First Place got the better end of the settlement.
Pull the other one, Don. You really think the fetus fetishists would agree to STFU if they actually 'got the better end of the settlement'?
Because that's what they've done. If Planned Parenthood was so skeert that it ponied up any contrition let alone actual dough, it would have been skeert enough to agree to whatever conditions the fetus fetishists set.
And the fetus fetishists would not have stipulated that there would be nothing more said. There would have been crowing and shrieeking all over the fetus-fetishizing blogosphere. And it wouldn't have taken more than three weeks to come to anyone's attention.
Ah well, we at Birth Pangs don't know what happened and so will not speculate further.
But there is one further good outcome of this snafu. From Christianity.ca:
Unfortunately, caught in the crossfire were the Sens’ Better Halves, a group of women who stood by their cause even after the publicity broke nearly a year ago. Like the army of Saul before Goliath, the Ottawa Senators management and foundation shook in fear and have determined that the Sens’ Better Halves will no longer have the privilege extended other NHL team wives and girlfriends. The Sens’ Better Halves have been told that their fundraising days with the team are over. Apparently, the team’s management hasn’t taken to heart the lesson that King Saul might have learned in order to prevent the kingdom being taken from him. We commend the Sens’ Better Halves for their courage.
We don't understand that stuff about King Saul. We do understand: 'Fool the Sens' management once, shame on you. You do not get the chance to embarrass them twice'.
UPPITY-DATE: Wow. The Canadian LifeShite didn't even try to spin the story, though there is some stupidity about 'charges'.
