Something that you've read in the last few days that has stuck with you?
In regards to Susan G. Komen pulling Planned Parenthood funding:
We should be having open debates in our country, but it’s impossible when you have a group of people that throw tantrums and try to hurt others with an opposing view. Religious groups try to exert control over people for their own personal CHOICES by wielding political power because they feel threatened. There is perhaps a morality argument in play with abortion, but no one group owns the rights to say they are absolutely correct. On another note, when did we start legislating morality in our country? There is strong scientific evidence that shows the benefit to family planning education and contraception in terms of public health and economics. Those arguments are often ignored and refuted because of the plethora of irrational non-thinkers in our country that put religious ideology ahead of all else. I am a Republican that will not be voting for a member of the GOP that partakes in the religious right agenda. They are a detriment to our free, democratic society. People are granted religious freedom in our country…too bad most religious folks try to impose their will on everyone else. I don’t care if other women get an abortion; it’s her CHOICE. The general public doesn’t walk around telling religious people how to conduct their business.
