I don't know who your friends or neighbors are but I see pro-life people who actually provide shelter for abused women, figure out places for homeless people to stay, provide meals and groceries for the hungry, and supplies for new babies and their mothers for months and months. Yes, they go and protest abortion too, whether it be in front of an abortuary or marching to the capital in the dead of winter. These are generous people, giving of their time and skills and money.
That's great. Now, what happens when we try to implement comprehensive sex education, or subsidized contraceptives, or some sort of aid to women and children that makes it easier for these women to raise those kids?
I don't know any pro-life misogynists, although I suppose there are some somewhere.
Next time somebody introduces a bill trying to help women in the workplace, I'll point them out. In the meantime, if you're interested, go dig up some of the invective hurled at Obama when he signed the Lily Ledbetter Act.
I don't know any puritanical authoritarians who want to yell 'sinner' at anyone.
Really? I genuinely do not believe you - or at least, I don't believe that you can effectively identify such people. The religious right is rife with folks like that.
Churches are making an impact and have been for a long time. Who do you think city officials call to run these programs.
I get the impression you may not see churches and faith based groups reliable enough for this task?
Why would you get that impression? I don't know what was unclear when I said that the church couldn't operate at that scale. That means the church isn't big enough.
