I know she is out there.

That brave GOP woman who will speak up about her abortion. She will say who the very prominent Republican man was who either got her pregnant and helped arrange it or the one who just made it happen. I hope she will be strong and believe that she should speak up and soon.

Then, in 1998, Bakker married a woman named Lori Beth Graham. According to her bio on The Jim Bakker Show, which Bakker currently hosts, Graham was raised in Phoenix, Arizona. “A life of partying and drugs that had begun during her early teen years had culminated into five abortions by the age of 22.” Lori goes on to write that by 1985, she had undergone a ten-year marriage riddled with abuse. It was towards the end of that marriage that she joined the Phoenix First Assembly of God.

but I'll share your hope that there's some chance that some of these people might get up from the floor and wipe the boot-leather taste off their tongues for long enough to have an independent thought or two.

In my experience, most of these people just keep it quiet when it happens to them or their families; doesn't stop them from toeing the line and voting for American Je$u$ every fuckin time.

They had a clip on MSNBC, he was concerned about criminal aspects, and no exception for rape and incest.

He also felt it would be a poor case for the Supreme Court because it's just too radical.

That's a start.

8. What would that do? Everyone knows that people get abortions regardless of religion, party

affiliation, even whether they describe themselves as pro-choice or pro-life. If you're waiting for hypocrisy to force Republican legislators to do the right thing, you'll be waiting a long time.

12. Even if she were, it would take the GOP and the religious right 10 seconds to disown and destroy her

And the "liberal" media will help them do it.

They do not have shame. They are unabashed hypocrites. They cannot be swayed by appeals to decency. They simply must be defeated.
