Pro-Life Grandmother Refuses to Return Kids "Porn" Book to Library, Faces Jail

From the American Life League:

PRO-LIFE GRANDMA FACES PRISON FOR REFUSING TO RETURN KID-GEARED PORN TO LIBRARY
by Katie Walker
Released August 28, 2008


WASHINGTON, D.C. (28 August 2008) – We need your help as time is running out for American Life League supporter JoAn Karkos! The Maine woman has until 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29 to return the Planned Parenthood endorsed, sexually explicit children's book It's Perfectly Normal to a public library in Lewiston.
If she does not, the 64-year-old grandmother may face jail time. JoAn needs your help - here's what you can do:

Please call Judge Valerie Stanfill at 207-795-4884 and ask her to not let JoAn Karkos go to jail for protecting the children of Lewiston against porn in their libraries.
Please call the Lewiston Library at 207-513-3004 and tell them to get It’s Perfectly Normal out of the public libraries. Tell them kids should never be exposed to cartoons of naked men and women in various sexual poses, long-winded descriptions of masturbation and homosexuality as depictions of 'perfectly normal' behavior.
Karkos said she was inspired to check the book out of the library in September 2007 after reading an American Life League alert about the pornographic cartoon sex content in the book by Robie H. Harris. The book should be nowhere near children, according to Karkos.

"I'm not giving the book back," Karkos said. "Every citizen has an obligation to protect the innocence of children."

It's been endorsed and promoted by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the nation's largest abortion chain.

"The book subverts true liberty, hates well-ordered discipline, and wages [war] against peace and harmony in public and private lives of youth and children," Karkos said. "I refused to return the borrowed book."

Karkos sent the library a check for $20.95 to cover the cost of the book. The check was sent back.

Now, unable to find a lawyer to represent her, Karkos represented herself in Maine's 8th District Court August 27. The judge ordered her to sit in the courtroom until she returned the book. An hour later, the judge revised the order and gave Karkos until Friday.

"JoAn is a courageous hero standing against one of the vilest examples of Planned Parenthood's war on families and hatred for childhood innocence," said Judie Brown. "We hope her trial will alert parents, who can no longer trust libraries to be free of pornography, even in the children's section. We now know the abortion industry is willing to invade our public libraries to distribute inappropriate information and get our kids hooked on sex."

This book is insidious. For instance:

The book, "It's Perfectly Normal," promotes abortion and homosexuality. It also denigrates Judeo-Christian religion and morality. The book states that homosexuality is boundless. The authors claims that homosexuality is "perfectly normal" and "the highest form of love," according to "the ancient Greeks" (pp. 17-18).
