On their way to this inevitable conclusion they "sold their souls" to BushCo for the chance of appointing a couple of anti-choice supremes. But what did they get instead? They got pro-corporate anti-regulating supremes. Used again. When will they learn. They got nothing but a lower standard of living out of the bargain. No wonder there is a war breaking out between social conservatives and corporate conservatives. The corporates used and abused the socials. And all they had to due to hook the socials was pay lips service to their religious fantasies. What did P.T. Barnum say?

Well I guess later is better than never. I hope they realize that their "just say no" strategy to social problems is grossly ineffective as well.

OT ALERT

From The Colorado Independent

UPDATE: Focus on the Family announced this afternoon that 202 jobs will be cut companywide ? an estimated 20 percent of its workforce. Initial reports bring the total number of remaining employees to around 950.

Evangelicals will be amongst the hardest hit by the economic downturn. So you you can expect those funds to these whack-job organizations to dry up and blow away in the wind. Poof.

We’ve lost over 50 million fellow Americans through what’s known as “choice”…

With the “messiah’s” passion to let newborn babies die on the table after they’ve survived a botchced abortion, I know many will sleep better…

(Lordy, this phucker is tiresome. I guess he’s both unemployed and mental, eh?)

I’m happy to see some pragmatism coming from the anti-abortion camp. I’d like to see the number of abortions reduced, too, and supporting pregnant women is the way to do it. A blogging friend of mine who happens to be a pastor in the mid-west was a huge supporter of Obama because it was clear that he’d actually do more to create a culture in which life is valued and abortions will be reduced. And he wasn’t alone. There are reasonable people among the churched who understand the issue in all its subtleties; it’s why Obama won.

I actually sprinkle fetal bites on my Corn Flakes, but to each his own.

Seriously, though, the rate of miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, is at least 25%.

So tell us, massah phreedm, why does Jesus kill so many innocent babies? And what does He do with all those miscarried souls?

honestpoet, phreedm is only here to antagonize, not converse. Maybe Obama will fix the abstinence(ignorance) only federal funding and push for comprehensive.

phreedm, I have always wondered why the holy spook did not rush in and save that baby from the mean old doctor, or could it be that the lord of mercy knew in his lucky charms magic way that the child was going to be the new Darwin.

I wonder what percentage of these religious anti abortion people are also for the death penalty….From my own experience I have found that most are…..

It seems like common sense that if you lessen the economic burden of having a child, less people would choose abortion.

I'll never understand why the strategy of providing health-care, child-care, and education to families in order to reduce the number of abortions wasn't the strategy and emphasis of the religious right.

This shift in strategy might reflect a change in approach, and may defuse the abortion issue to a significant degree in the future. I certainly hope it will, because many important issues of economic concern have been overlooked (in part) as a result of the amount of time and energy wasted on the abortion issue.

Comprehensive and realistic sex education from an early age is proven as among the best method to reduce unwanted pregnancy and therefore pregnancy termination so maybe Obama will increase funding for this and in turn bring the numbers of abortions down. Xian crazies will not appreciate this though because they are most comfortable with their head in the sand in regards to unwed young people having sex, with or without information about how to prevent pregnancy and STDs.
