But turn the dial to 60 Minutes for some more insanity from the American Taliban that makes me want to throw my TV and/or myself out the window. Jesus Fucking Christ. Let's hope the ACLU puts an end to this particular form of abuse & homicide.
UPDATE: Katha Pollitt on "Virginity or Death!":
What is it with these right-wing Christians? Faced with a choice between sex and death, they choose death every time. No sex ed or contraception for teens, no sex for the unwed, no condoms for gays, no abortion for anyone.... *** As they flex their political muscle, right-wing Christians increasingly reveal their condescending view of women as moral children who need to be kept in line sexually by fear. That's why antichoicers will never answer the call of prochoicers to join them in reducing abortions by making birth control more widely available: They want it to be less available. Their real interest goes way beyond protecting fetuses--it's in keeping sex tied to reproduction to keep women in their place.
