      <![CDATA[Connelly's statement about Democrats believing that "abortions and taxpayer-funded birth-control" being "rites of passage for every teenage girl" pretty much speaks for itself. Issues of real social/religious/philosophical import that are so complex and nuanced as to demand what amounts to "prayerful consideration" and sincere dialogue are reduced by Connelly to a piece of demagogic comedy rating nothing more than inclusion in an "email blast."<br>
<br>
Having unapologetically dismissed that portion of his remarks, however, I do admit to some amazement at the ugly, mean-spirited way in which the GOP/Tea Party/Christian Right has demonized Sandra Fluke---Connelly, of course, being part of that effort.<br>
<br>
Sandra Fluke is the kind of daughter any father would be proud to have.

      <![CDATA[anyone who has endured the screams of "murder" and "don't kill your baby" for 3 hours every Saturday knows the true nature of the Rethuglican Party. ......Ever since Reagun mobilized blue collar workers for this single issue of forcing women to stay pregnant, our nation has moved from the economic struggle to a hyper theocratic struggle..... people vote for a hot button issue like marriage equality, fertilized eggs EQUAL PEOPLE WITH SOULS and somehow the truth does not matter that inflation and union busting make families more poor every day....... sadly the Republocrat Party has caved on the economic front for corporation donations and pretend to be the party of reproductive freedom and marriage rights for all....

      <![CDATA["abortions and taxpayer-funded birth control are rites of passage for every teenage girl - sort of like the prom or a first car."<br>
<br>
Never mind the first part of that quote, look at the second: "sort of like the prom or a first car." Apparently Mr. Connelly believes that every teenage girl not only goes to the prom but also gets a car (given to her by her parents, I assume)...or so you might think.
