Bart Stupak, a Democrat, has been allying with the Republicans to try to stop the Democratic health care bill over the issue of abortion. This back bench Democrat with his own ethics problems, has been using his 15 minutes of fame to try to block the health care legislation. But Bart has also taken on another trait of the Republicans, he's been lying when he goes on television talking about the health care plan about the abortion provisions. Wonder of wonders, ABC News did some fact checking last night and confirmed that Congressman Stupak is indeed lying.

Is This Really What Christians Stand For?
Bob McDonnell, newly installed governor of Virginia recently issued an executive order that makes it legal to discriminate against people working in Virginia because of sexual orientation. This is a stunning reversal in a state that voted for President Obama in the last election.
In this same clip, Virginia state representative Bob Marshall makes the case that children with disabilities result from women who have previously had abortions.
What century do these people live in? This is the kind of crap that makes me want to pull my hair out, blatant discrimination against homosexuals, blatant lying about medical facts and all done supposedly in the name of Christianity. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor and do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Is this what modern Christians really beleive?

Chris Matthews Takes on Abortion With Bishop Tobin
You may have read that Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin has told Patrick Kennedy he will not be offered communion because of his views on abortion. Chris Matthews hae the Bishop on his show last night and there was a very interesting conversation.
What I thought was interesting was that Matthews asked the Bishop a question, basically if Tobin were in Congress, would he legislate against a woman's right to choose and outlaw abortion, period. That question the Bishop answered, yes. However, when Matthews asked what the punishment should be, the Bishop wouldn't answer that question. Since Catholics and the anti-abortion forces call abortion murder, it seems like the answer to that question is that they would be willing to put the woman that got the abortion on trial for murder, along with the doctor. But for some reason, the Bishop wouldn't go that far.
Matthews kept coming back to the question, but the Bishop would still not answer it. I've had this conversation with people that are pro-life. But they never think the answer all the way through. How many more prosecutors would we have to hire? How many courthouses would we have to build? How many more judges would have to sit on the bench?
Why do you think the Bishop wouldn't answer Chris Matthews' question on what the punishment should be for the woman that has the abortion and the doctor that performed it.
