If we keep tolerating this stuff, with no one speaking out...there won't be change.

A Florida lawmaker is refusing to vote for a bill to require hospitals to give contraception to rape victims. Why? He's a Christian.

Rep. Dennis Baxley, a leading conservative voice, said his belief that life begins at conception would preclude his support.

Florida rape victims probably don't get the pill offered to them now, and there needs to be a law. Things like this are what all of our side needs to speak up about.

As Dean said above:

..."it seems to me that the right wing of the Republican Party preaches virtue on the one hand and intolerance on the other"
