However, the Christian Right has held the belief that Christianity is the de facto religion in the US based on the numbers. The sad part is although they want to their religious beliefs to be respected, they turn around a try to impose their beliefs on the rest of us! We get slammed at the holiday time if we say Seasons Greeting!

They oppose abortion but don't want to prevent pregnancies by providing access to birth control options to their employees! In the recent past, they have been promoting the heartbeat test... If you can hear the heartbeat of the fetus then you cannot have an abortion. The heartbeat starts up pretty quick so this law would stop 90%ish abortions. They make the claim that they are pro-life but actually they are clearly only Pro-Birth. After the birth, they oppose the social safety nets these mothers need. We hear about welfare queens.....Not mention 2 Republican Senate candidates made these statements:

Todd Akin-

“It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”


Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Tuesday that when a woman is impregnated during a rape “it’s something God intended.”

When is a rape legitimate?

Those are my examples---COPUFF
