She should have had an abortion, so I don't have to read this sort of crap every bloody, painful, day of my bloody life.

The article I cited was not about abortion. You guys are getting your panties
in a knot for no reason.
The article is about the denial of birth control products to Africa. This will
inevitably result in many deaths. This move is supported by Pro-Lifers,
presumably because it's 'birth control.'
The result of this denial is death, which I'm made to understand is antithetical
to the Pro-Life position.
Why do Pro-Lifers continue to support post-womb death?

Their attitude regarding abortion is tell telling too.
This is the complicaton whenever the common sense bows to "faith".
Can we now do cheer up?

I could bring this story up to my in-laws and they'd shrug it off as soon as I mentioned it was reported in the NYT. The "fact" that the NYT can't be trusted is right wing conservatism 101. That's probably a big reason why the Christians who usually get up in arms about pro-life issues aren't doing so at this point.

The Bush administration this month is quietly cutting off birth control supplies to some of the world’s poorest women in Africa.
Thus the paradox of a “pro-life” administration adopting a policy whose result will be tens of thousands of additional abortion
How on earth does such an action meet with approval from Christians, I do not know.

That said, George W. Bush has always been utterly two-faced in his support of Christian values. Christians in general have been too naive to spot it in the past. Now, perhaps, they are too cynical to care about W's hypocrisy in the present. Either that, or being in opposition to the president reminds them too much of what the "evil" liberals were engaged in over the last eight years. I imagine it would be difficult to liberate oneself from such well-cultivated taboos, even if doing so means staying true to their most cherished beliefs.

If the kind of citizens that you mention they are following blindly a path promoted by their beloved media solely just because their beloved president Mr Bush is a Christian, then they are not active citizens at all. It ;s obvious that in such a case they become religionist fanatics due to their indifference to the very meaning of the denial of the birth control products to Africa.

didn't cancel it? Or that sending birth control was actually more harmful and Bush was doing
them a favor?!
I watch FoxNEWS more often than I'd care to admit because they balance out the stories not being
told on CNN. I want to hear what the right-leaning media has to say because the left-leaning
media will sometimes 'forget' to mention it.
Don't your in-laws want to be informed? Doesn't it piss you off when they shrug?
