The full extent of the insane Jesusbagger anti-choice agenda has always been there, but only he has been willing to stand up and say "Yes! We SHOULD outlaw the pill!"




...fucking clown. But a clown doing us a valuable public service, no doubt.

They've done a good job, previously, of doing all sorts of Lakoff style semantic and framing games to make their position seem like the "moderate, reasonable" one.

Santorum blows the lid right off that, because he's out there saying what they really think, but what they know doesn't fly.

&quot T)he feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson

ROBERTSON LETTER ATTACKS FEMINISTS

Published: August 26, 1992

A fund-raising letter written by the television evangelist Pat Robertson in opposition to a proposed equal rights amendment to the Iowa Constitution suggests that feminists want women to kill their children and practice witchcraft.

The equal rights amendment, on which Iowans will vote Nov. 3, is a broadly worded measure that would bar sex discrimination.

But Mr. Robertson's letter, distributed late last month to supporters of the evangelical organization Christian Coalition, described the proposal as part of a "feminist agenda" that "is not about equal rights for women." Claims of 'Anti-Family'

Instead, the letter said, "it is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Mr. Robertson, a 1988 Republican Presidential contender, included in the letter a plea that money be sent to the organization Stop E.R.A. to "help defeat E.R.A. and defend the family in Iowa."

I did leave my husband, practice witchcraft, and "become" a lesbian. I am honing my skills so that I can one day "destroy capitalism." Such fun!

Edited to add that I'm a socialist too. You betcha!

The only part of that I resemble is the socialist thing and even there it's questionable.
