The use of Steve Jobs’ premature death as an anti-choice argument is flawed on at least two levels, but that hasn't stopped anti-choicers from exploiting his life for their political purposes.
Today the GOP-led House of Representatives, with the blessings and encouragement of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and extremist religious groups such as the Family Research Council, as well as 15 Democrats, passed a bill that would, among other things, allow doctors and hospitals to "exercise their conscience" by letting pregnant women facing emergency medical conditions die.
In the eyes of virulent anti-choice Congressmen like Joe Pitts (R-PA), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), all life is "sacred"... except that which is a) female or b) actually born. How else to explain the facts?
A private Catholic elementary and middle school in Canada is offering "community service" credit to children who protest outside the city Health Services Center.
