Unfortunately his twisted mind probably considers that a compliment.



I don't know about twisted minds but I think many "progressive liberals"
are a little befuddled due to living in La-La land too long.



Perhaps we can add "Americans who get sick" to the list of groups and
concepts upon which Republicans are making war...let's see...women,
gays, latinos, people who have sex, blacks, peace, students, the poor,
the middle class, non-christians, immigrants. the environment, the
unemployed...I'm sure there are more.

Here's something to think about:

Many studies have shown that abortion rates drop dramatically when
contraception is free and easily accessible.

So, why do so many self-described pro-lifers oppose
free and accessible birth control?

Is the answer that they really do not care about babies but, rather,
they want to punish women for having sex, even forced sex?

The Republican war on women is real and happening now.



In your mind maybe.

In my mind here are the fundamental differences between conservatives
and liberal "progressives":

Conservatives believe in personal choice, (within the limits of
reasonable laws) personal responsibility and personal accountability
for one's actions in life.

Progressives believe that too many people lack personal responsibility
and accountability for their own actions and therefore the government
should step in and solve all their problems ... or the problems they
create.

I will concede that there is an ultra-right faction that for religious
reasons or whatever would like to see things laws like Roe vs Wade
overturned but they don't represent the majority of conservative
thinking. Most I know are like myself ... I personally don't believe in
abortions for *all* reasons but respect the right of others to think
otherwise.

Conservative men aren't waging a war on women. We love women.
How many conservative gays do you know? :-)
