Sometimes I think if Jesus had just said "Blessed are the IUDs" we'd be free of this stupidity, but this group doesn't really seem to listen to anything that Jesus is reported to have said in the first place. Maybe if Moses had just had that 11th commandment ... "Thou shalt shag responsibly" ... but again, I'm sure the interpretation from the fundies would be "exceptionally" twisted.<br /><br />Thanks for being in Germantown.

We scratched our heads at anti-abortion advocates who are also against contraception and comprehensive sex education -- the very things that could prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-400359954050696772011-08-03T16:07:17.229-04:002011-08-03T16:07:17.229-04:00I might be slightly more sympathetic to the anti-a...I might be slightly more sympathetic to the anti-abortionists if the gun totin' "abstinence only education" promoters didn't fill their ranks.

I doubt many of them have reflected on the fetus-unfriendly passages of the Old Testament.<br /><br />Nance -- Anti-abortion billboards are sprouting up all over the country. Do you remember what the billboards looked like, or what they said? They might be part of a specific campaign.<br /><br />Buffy -- I've never understood that either. You do meet some Catholics who embrace "seamless garment" thinking by rejecting war and the death penalty, but they are the minority.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-52952530231355043372011-08-02T20:29:28.616-04:002011-08-02T20:29:28.616-04:00Those are some sick, twisted people.

Why the immortal hell is Congress empowering the anti-choice agenda while the country goes down the tubes?!<br /><br />We've got some billboards here all of a sudden. None are graphic, but there have never been any anti-abortion billboards before, so this is probably the thin end of the wedge.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-88287450520574383882011-08-02T18:30:03.434-04:002011-08-02T18:30:03.434-04:00Don't they realize that God is pro-abortion? ...Don't they realize that God is <a href="http://ponderingtruth.blogspot.com/2010/04/holy-abortion.html" rel="nofollow">pro-abortion</a>?
