Wonder how many Alabama parents of young teens will take that into consideration. I'm hoping enough do.

on their own for several years. "Help" is the wrong word, for sure. A 32-year-old who is taking a 14-year-old's clothes off is most certainly not "helping." A better way to put it would be: "Moore stripped the 14-year-old girl's clothes off down to her underwear." That's what actually happened, even if he cajoled her into doing it herself.

taking a different tack. Not everything on CNN is officially scripted. Did you ever say who said that and on what CNN program?

Like most viewers I don't pay a lot of attention, until something outrageous gets my interest.
