Rights and Wrongs

So

The Right and Conservative Christians, and their fans and promoters, are utterly appauled by the the idea that expectant mothers will be asked at their first meeting with a doctor if they are experiencing domestic abuse.

The same people who are utterly appauled by abortion, and are unswervingly ProLife.

That confuses me... I don't think it makes sense!

Obviously, preventing women from choosing what happens to their bodies is social responsibility, preventing men from beating women, pregnant or not, is the nanny state gone mad, makes perfect sense when you think about it

Its just more (unnecessary) proof that organised religion is a bad idea and that its influence in politics should be ended as soon as possible.

Sorry, i just saw the fucking daily mail in the shop, the headline compalins that this is 'from the party that does nothing to protect families from gambling'
i'm sorry, did i get really really pretentious last night and disappear up my own arsehole into some sort of fucked up fantasy world where the one has some sort of bearing on the other?

what's really sad there of course is that this probably won't even lose the paper any of its female readership.
