His latest appointee believes women should be subservient and that rape can't cause pregnancy.

"It gets pretty bad around here" when lawmakers condemn Holmes for quoting the teachings of St. Paul the Apostle."

Exactly
Whatever happened to religious tolerance?  Looks like a smear campaign by anti-christian bigots.

hmm

a paper he wrote about "his beliefs" for his church flyer is  the source of this scuttlebutt?

I think he can separate his "personal beliefs" from his "political ones"

where have I heard that before? LOL

I think the fact he is anti abortion is the real issue - of course these are just his "personal beliefs" - LOL

It is fine to practice whatever set of beliefs you wish.  That is not the issue.  

The issue is one of power.  I do not want desicions made with reguard to laws and their interpretations based on a specific religious preference or outlook.  

It seems to me someone who holds the views espoused in the above article would have difficulty leaving his "beliefs" at home.



It, imo, smacks of a precursor to some quasi-taliban type of crap.

It's perfectly okay for Holmes to be anti-abortion just as long as he's not anti-choice as well. ;)

As opposed to someone who makes up their morals as they go along, choosing whatever values are politically expedient or trendy?

I know a few people that are personally against abortion, but they do not feel that it's the governments place to make this sort of decision. They are therefore, pro-choice.

If you feel that abortions are morally repugnant, don't get one. The current pro-choice legislation allows this freedom.

I think that description fits me pretty well. But I strongly feel feel abortions should be limited to the early stages of pregnancy with excetions to serious health concerns for the mother.

Sweet.  At what age do you suggest we disallow mothers from "choosing" to murder their offspring?  Provide a basis for your "choice".  Or does your "choice" policy apply to all homicides? :)

it is just another form of birth control - right?

as long as many do not see it as anything other than that, the murder will continue and our consciousness will remain in the dark ages ...

anyone truly believe "pro-choice" is enlightened thinking or just the pc way to think/act .. sad really

Sounds like a hand picked Bush appointee. I seem to remember GWB running "I'm a uniter not a divider" as his campaign slogan in 2000.
Glad he didn't flip-flop. :rolleyes:
