Dr. Robert Spitzer whose study Can Some Gay Men and Lesbians Change Their Sexual Orientation? is used by assorted wingnuts to back their claims that 'gays can be cured' now admits that his study was fatally flawed.
I'm going to take a second to dance and them I'm going to listen to the sound of wingnut heads asploding.
And he has the unmitigated gall to say his stance has to do with morals.
Mississippi state Rep. Bubba Carpenter voted for the restrictive abortion law signed by the governor earlier this year and he says it doesn’t matter if women die by attempting coat hanger abortions because it’s all about maintaining what he calls “moral values.” Carpenter says he’s proud that his state basically banned abortion and that he’s proud that his party is forcing desperate poor women to either give birth or die by self-induced abortion.
"It’s going to be challenged, of course, in the Supreme Court and all — but literally, we stopped abortion in the state of Mississippi, legally, without having to– Roe vs. Wade. So we’ve done that. I was proud of it. The governor signed it into law. And of course, there you have the other side. They’re like, ‘Well, the poor pitiful women that can’t afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger. That’s what we’ve learned over and over and over.’ But hey, you have to have moral values. You have to start somewhere, and that’s what we’ve decided to do. This became law and the governor signed it, and I think for one time, we were first in the nation in the state of Mississippi."
As I said on Facebook where I saw this article, "Bend over and grab your ankles, Rep. Carpenter. I'm going to teach you a little empathy with a coat hanger."
Gov. Phil Bryant defending his signing of HB 1390 which will probably shut down Mississippi's only abortion clinic told Tony Perkins that Democrats', "one mission in life is to abort children."
Where do they think up this crazy shit?
He can't prove it, but his iPhone 4S was chattering to him about Obama, Obama's minions and wind power.
It won't be long now. He's soon going to be a danger to himself and others.
Damn, man, I'm governor, could you just shut up for a second?
Something very sad has happened to the people that comprise the GOP these days. They simply refuse to hear anything even vaguely resembling a contrary opinion. And yet they go on and on about political correctness.
So very sad.
Basically, he and his followers need an enemy. It makes them feel like heroes. It allows them to believe they are good people. It backs up their belief that 'traditional morality' is all that stands between order and chaos. It puts a face on their fear, which makes it identifiable and controllable.
It's really sad.
