david podvin : in the name of the lord.



the same thing is starting in the u.k., with some religious fascist trying to make abortion into an issue in our general election - and the fucking tories trotting along with the hateful bastard - trying to make women's misery into something they can win power with.



we need to be certain that we stop this nonsense in its tracks - now. leaving it until later will just make it harder, because one thing is for certain and that is that these bastards know how to appeal to the lowest common denominator, having done it for centuries (otherwise their religions would not still exist), and they will soon motivate a bunch of witch-burners with their emotive, logic-free ranting.



if that happens, it'll turn from a reasonably simple job of shutting them up using the law and turn into having to face them down in public - a very dangerous thing for anyone to have to do given the illogical, primeval fears that such people's rhetoric is designed to appeal to and the irrational, blood-thirsty behaviour of their followers.



let's not forget that such people were burning and hanging u.s. blacks as recently as the 1960s, are still killing u.s. doctors who are willing to perform abortions, are killing u.s. judges who will not pander to their hate-filled whims - the list goes on - and inactivity on the part of the liberals is not an option.
