Regarding the NPR piece:
ReplyDeleteThis new reality troubles Mathew Staver, founder of the conservative law group, Liberty Counsel.
"I believe the greatest threat to religious liberty is the clash between religious liberty and LGBT rights," he says.
So religious liberty is being curtailed by what other people are permitted to do, and by permitted to do we just mean do what everyone else does? Matthew Staver is really messed up in the head.
So Rick Santorum wants to ban birth control and encourage people to spawn like rabbits. Is he also going to fight for all families to have universal health care, housing, employment, a living wage, adequate nutrition, access to quality education, etc? I highly doubt it.
ReplyDeleteWise Fool -- Sadly, he's not the only right-wing voice who has incorrectly framed religious freedom and LGBT rights as incompatible. I don't understand how granting equality to LGBT citizens would impose on anyone else's rights.
ReplyDeleteBuffy -- I doubt it too. I wish the anti-abortion folks would devote more thought to caring for people once they exit the womb.
Great group of links, here, Ahab!
ReplyDeleteBackwater -- Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRick Santorum is unelectable. There is little to like about him but at least we know where he stands on so-called moral issues. Less government regulation of corporations, more government regulation of sex organs. And Republicans call that "smaller government."
