The things on that list are disgusting. But the bill mentioned in No. 3 has been shelved (we discussed it in the storyboarding meeting for my university's newspaper). Still, it's all horrible. Children shouldn't go to preschool? Whose brilliant plan was that?
Absolutely. And why do we never heard non-Christian pro-life or pro-choice arguments? Apparently, there is a pro-choice Christian movement, but all of the others manage to drown them out. You're right, all the way: in fact, this is what "separation of church and state" is about---not forcing a religion on the constituents, which is exactly what the GOP is doing. Instead, we interpret it as "don't talk about religion ever," so we never hear another religion's side on issues like this.
ICK. Because women have no spines and/or independent thought processes, of course.
