This article on secuarnewsdaily.com had me angry and appalled, but not necessarily surprised in anyway. Afterall, the religious right has been known to use all kinds of immoral, deceptive, and down-right evil practices to force their will on others. This time they successfully deadlocked congress over the issue of "providing funds to Planned Parenthood" by lying about Planned Parenthood and using all too familiar scare tactics.
[Secular News Daily's Home Screen]
They KNOW they're lying too. Senator Kyl [R, AZ] stated that "90% of the activity Planned Parenthood does is abortions."
[It's actually the other way around]
[Highlight from Original Article]
It became blantantly obvious that this wasn't a mistake but a lie, because when confronted with his incorrect statement he said "it was not intended to be a factual statement." Yeah? Well then why the hell did you say it? In front of congress none the less!
Does he really think he's fooling anyone by saying "it was not intended to be a factual statement?!" Why can't he grow a pair and ADMIT that he was LYING to further his agenda to prevent reproductive health services to women.
Do these people have ANY shame?! ANY morals?! Will they go to any lengths to bring about their agenda?! Even resorting to deception and a lack of caring for the enormous amounts of human suffering they are causing?!
Apparently this is the truth about them. If the devil is real... they are it.
I am a woman... and what they are proposing is inhuman. As inhuman as the proclamation by Martin Luther who said "If a woman shall die in child birth, let her die because it is her duty to provide children." Apparently he must have taken the passage in 1 Timothy literally: "...Adam was first formed then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Not withstanding, she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness in sobriety." - 1 Timothy 2: 13- 15
How did I take this? Well, basically I got 2 thing out of this: 1. The "Original Sin" is all woman's fault.
2. The woman can only be saved by having babies - so [it seems] infertile women are doomed to eternal torment in Hell.
[Wow! Love of God all over here!]
Perhaps the "pro-lifers" believe this too?
A note to Pro-life atheists and secularists... KNOW THE CROWD YOU'RE IN WITH! Make no mistake... this fiasco was NOT about abortion at all! It was an effort to further restrict access to birth control and sexual health information.
Shame on ALL of those so-called "pro-lifers" that participated in slandering Planned Parenthood! or maybe they should be called "anti-sex, pro-lyers, no-choicers!"
Shame!
