This is some seriously scary stuff. It's not new to me, it has been around for awhile. These fundies are wonderfully sneaky and insidious. I'm telling you, these guys make Joseph Geobbels look like an amateur. They'll get their message across any kind of way that they can. And they don't mind waiting. So now they're going to inundate us with a mob of raving Xtian loonie warriors in our old age to take over and prepare for the end-times. Yay!

The thing that gets me most upset is how they just don't give a damn what happens to the woman. If she dies in childbirth, so what. It was God's plan, I guess.
I don't know about you, but I find this to be positively dehumanizing.

Quote:Speaking in regard to Todd Akin's recent "legitimate rape" and Paul Ryan's rape as a "method of conception" remarks, Amanda Marcotte explains the fundamentalist mentality that, "the fact that someone can make a baby means that making babies is what she is for. ... Women are among an array of objects to be used. The refrigerator is for storing food. The bookshelf is for holding books. The woman is for making babies. You no more give her a choice in the matter than you would give your refrigerator veto power over what food it holds because it didn’t like your method of shopping."-from the article
