After they are born it's their fault for being poor and lazy.

What's funny is I guarantee you she denies evolution yet she's clearly advocating for natural selection.

She probably expresses outrage that someone would abort a fetus but is okay with parents murdering their children.

Part of the problem is that some conservative parents don't understand that they don't literally own their children. Yes, the parent/child relationship is unique in that the parent makes decisions for their child but that doesn't mean that their child doesn't have the right to grow up in a safe enviroment.

and

Quote:Is it really because these children are dying more so than other children, or is this really about an attack on a religion you don’t agree with?” Perry said.

How did this woman get elected?

If you designed a character like this for a novel, critics would claim that she was too unrealistic. After all, why would a pro life senator be pro parents murdering their children? Sadly, she is real and not a fictional character.

It truly seems as if the Christian persecution complex knows now limits. When you're hand-waving away concern for dead children as simple hate for Jesus, you really are a fucking moron.

I was going to say exactly this. I would love to confront this woman and see how she backs herself out of that little logical logjam she created for herself.

The sanctity of a child's life ends once they're born, apparently.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

How does any idiot get elected. Idiots voting for idiots supporting their own prejudices or superstitions.

And yes, the older I get the more cynical my view of my fellow human beings.

Faith healing is literally worse than nothing because it's stopping real treatment.

I'm glad they are pressing charges. To peddle this stuff you've either got to be insane or a con artist.
