Pope Mobile. "Mind the poor," "pro-immigrant," "anti-capital punishment," "anti-arms sales," "anti-war," "and pro-environment" all hang over the left. "Pro-life," and "Kim Davis" hang over the right.
I wouldn’t be too sure about that ‘Pro-Life’ ducky. Francis may be against legalized abortion, but he also called it ‘forgivable’. [] Ever heard a far-right American ‘Christian’ say abortion is forgivable? Glenn Beck ever say anything like that? How about the late Jerry Falwell? Or Tony Perkins of The Family Research Council? Or Pat Robertson? [] Lemme put it this way. Years ago, on the NPR program, Fresh Air, I tuned in to hear Randall Terry, the founder and leader of Operation Rescue being interviewed. About 2/3 of the way into the program he said that the first World Trade Center terror attacks ( and the midwest floods that took place that year ) were God’s punishment against America for having legalized abortion.[] If you think a guy with that kind of attitude is going to consider abortion a forgivable sin, brother have I got a bridge to sell YOU. []And no, that was NOT an isolated opinion. I’ve heard similar screeds from other right-wingers many, many times. ( including on this board. )
