how do they scream and rail against the govt in our doctors offices, while pushing legislation to put govt in doctors' offices with their 'pro-life' legislation? they don't want a mandate for insurance, to allow folks to go to the doctor, but they sure like mandates about what certain doctors have to do!

Because it has nothing to do with religious principles and everything to do with maintaining the current system of economic and social stratification. Women who do not have individual, independent control over their reproductive lives are not free.

The day the poor whites in Appalachia realize they have more in common with the poor blacks in inner cities than they do with the rich whites in gated communities is the day we'll see real change in the nation. Not until then.

Hell, even the Moral Majority movement started as a reaction against Carter's taking away tax benefits that let Southern Whites continue segregation through the guise of "religious schooling." The post-Nixon GOP saw an opportunity and grabbed it.

If it prevents taxpayer funded abortion, they can keep the government shut down ad infinitum. This far and no farther.
