Remember the “conscientious objection” card the anti-choice pharmacists play so they don’t have to give out Plan B?
I guess it was only a matter of time before the hetero-bigots got into that game. A proposed policy in Iowa would “protect” the rights of those judges who don’t want to perform marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples. Says the Alliance Defense Fund:
Forcing [judges] to participate in offensive acts contrary to their deeply held beliefs in order to remain employed is unconstitutional.”
Words cannot express how utterly, horrendously, and irredeemably hypocritical I find religious conservatives.
Sure, they want to protect your “foundational rights and liberties” such as “the right of conscience” – but only if your conscience whispers the same bigotry as theirs.
These idiots who are “defending their right” to live the way they want are the same control-freaks who have fought tooth and nail to keep that same right out of the reach of gays and lesbians.
Jiminy bloody Cricket, won’t they ever just STFU.

How come you never say anything about Obama anymore? How do you think he’s doing so far?
Obama is doing great. So great, in fact, that I rarely feel the need to remind Rib Readers of that. His greatness is all over the news, all the time. Don’t you know the only time it’s fun to blog about a politician is when s/he screws up? Just kidding. Sort of.
