This is an excerpt from what stickman scott (SS) sent me. Befits the religious right if you read the entire thing. "....I look at this White House and I ask myself—and this may be unfair—but I ask myself a lot of times, how did they get so many draft dodgers in one place? You know, the president, Dick Cheney five deferments; John Ashcroft, six deferments. Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Tom DeLay, all of their buddies. Dennis Hassert, Rush Limbaugh, well, you know, there are a lot of people who dodged the draft during the Vietnam War and I know a lot of them. Most of them did it because they had moral qualms about that war. But not these people. These people love the war; they just wanted somebody else to fight it. And it occurs to me that the reason for that is that these are people who don’t understand the values that makes America worth fighting for. But America is worth fighting for and it’s worth dying for. Those of us who know that it’s worth fighting for have to take it back now from those who don’t...." commondreams.org

65% of Americans agree women should make their own reproductive choices and keep the government and rightwing nutsos out of their bedrooms and hospital rooms. It would be more than 65% except for the fact that the rightwing has been raising hundreds of millions on this narrow-minded wedge issue and lying to the public calling abortions "murder" and morning after pills "abortion pills". It is a totally irrational and unscientific way of looking at things. Plus, most rightwingers would rush to an abortion clinic if their daughter were knocked up by the wrong person. And they know it. They're almost all hypocrites. What this is really all about is the far rightwing religious nuts wanting to turn back the clock on the sexual revolution to the days of repression, prudishness and puritanism. Won't work. And isn't realistic or fair.
