Religious?


A Yahoo news story says:

the conservative religious community no longer has the field to itself

Apparently the religious left is mobilized. Yeah, sure.

But I have trouble thinking of them as religious if they're ready to vote for the man who has promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act:
Among the types of laws that the FOCA would invalidate are:

-- The Hyde Amendment, which prohibits most federal funding of abortion, and the laws of many states that restrict state funding of abortion.

-- Laws in effect in some jurisdictions that bar abortions in government-operated hospitals.

-- Laws requiring parental notification or consent, or judicial authorization, before an abortion can be performed on a minor daughter.

-- Laws requiring that girls and women seeking abortion receive certain information on matters such as fetal development and alternatives to abortion, and then wait a specified period before the abortion is actually performed, usually 24 or 48 hours.

-- "Conscience" laws, allowing doctors, nurses, or other state-licensed professionals, and hospitals or other health-care providers, to decline to provide or pay for abortions.

Here's a heads up for any Catholics who haven't been to mass in the last month: your church has an opinion on this. You want to vote for a man who condones partial-birth abortions, I'll save you a lawn chair by the lake of fire.
