Aren’t we threatening them with harm to their society? Aren’t we forcing ideals of a few onto an entire continent. FOR POLITICAL, RELGIOUS, OR IDEOLOGICAL PURPOSES

Can you just imagine our outrage if another country tried to dictate how WE in the US handle a crisis?

Sick. Sad.

But the evangelicals put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes and scream, "Abstain!" <br /> <br /> Just shameful. Shameful.
