How on earth did the vast majority of the pro-abortion population ever let
the rabid, ill-educated, discriminatory minority of ant-abortionists slip the
repeal of 50-year-old legislation under the radar?


Republicans have attached themselves to the extreme right-wing Christian fundamentalist who want nothing more than a Christofascist ethno state. Since churches are not taxed in America many of them have the money to lobby and influence power in the halls of Congress.

They remain to be a secure vote as long as the Republicans they place in power pass laws they discriminate against the gays, transgenders, women and their civil rights. The state of Tennessee alone passed a law that state atheist cannot hold public office. This is the fascist state Republicans want for America.

And who can forget this interview of Bush senior by Robert I. Sherman,
on 27 August 1987 at O'Hare Airport.

Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are Atheists?

Bush: I guess I'm pretty weak in the Atheist community. Faith in God is important to me.

Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are Atheists?

Bush: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots.
          This is one nation under God.

Sherman: Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?

Bush: Yes, I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on Atheists.

—This then is typical of the GOP to this day.  Narrow-minded, bigoted, ill-informed,
   jingoistic, uncompromising, dogmatic, extremist, and just plain ferking stoopid.
