Senate Candidate: No single, pregnant teachers in classroom
CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- A U.S. Senate candidate who said recently that homosexuals should not be teaching in South Carolina's public schools has added another group to his list of poor role models for children -- pregnant women with live-in boyfriends.

Jim DeMint, a Republican third-term congressman running for the Senate, made the comment about homosexuals during a debate Sunday with his Democratic opponent. Some gay organizations immediately demanded an apology.

1. Well Jim...
If they can't get abortions, and you don't want them have access to birth control either, exactly how is it that these women are supposed to make a living while expecting?

Oh....I guess they're NOT. Let em become homeless and starve, eh?

Explain to me again where that phrase "compassionate conservatism" comes from?

Thanks.
A concerned citizen

4. Well, if they're unmarried, they should be ABSTINENT!
I mean, it's completely immoral for them to have sex unless its under the sanction of marriage and for procreative purposes only. :eyes:

3. Well, which is it pal? Teacher wearing a scarlet letter or getting an
abortion? You can't have it both ways. Making a pregnant woman get married seems to be a civil rights violation among other things.
