"GOP: Hands off women's (and gays') rights"

 I don’t post comments or other posts that are bible based. This is one exception because it is worded differently and it has a nice twist to it.

I see on the news almost daily another assault on women's reproductive options. I have to ask, is this the only thing that concerns the GOP?

They shove their religion down our throats and talk about abortion. It's fine to be against abortion, but abortion is legal in the U.S.

And unless you have been in a situation that warrants one, how do you know what to feel, think, worry about? If you don't want one, don't have one.

Next, Planned Parenthood? They do a whole lot of good for women of few means. Simply put, they give birth control free of charge to women who need it now. They treat sexually transmitted diseases, perform mammograms, and help with women's health issues.

Lots of poor women don't have the means to pay for the services, but we attack without a thought to these ladies. Not everyone is degreed and earning $50,000 a year.

I am not Catholic and have nothing against the religion, but Rick Santorum is wrong to bring his religion forefront and center. Maybe instead of worrying about my reproductive life or that of my daughter or granddaughter, he should worry about how many little kids some priests have molested this week.

Fix the ills first, and leave women alone.

Last, get off the topic of gay males and what they do or don't do. God made each and every one of us, and that includes gay men. One sin is no worse than the others.
