Guess what? You aren't overturning abortion in the USA in either of our lifetimes.
Did I say we were?

It is a good thing that we keep religion out of our nations governance, we should also make sure to keep liberals like you from using government to stick their nose in religion....Works both ways there pal.

As a wise person recently observed: At what point did "Whatever two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is no concern of yours" turn into "BAKE ME A GODDAM CAKE MO**ERFU**ER!"?
Also, Pro-Tip: Never eat something you forced someone to make for you.
Here's the problem - too many on the right see efforts to restrain the imposition of specific religious beliefs on all Americans as "liberals ... using government to stick their nose in religion"
Ah yes, when someone has no argument, resort to calling them a "liberal"
Weak and sloppy debate skills.
You mean like posting a picture instead of using your own words?
Who named you arbiter of framing the debate? Funny I didn't see you standing up for the little sisters of the poor wishing not to have to pay for contraceptive services.
Well this statement tells me you know nothing more than the propaganda about that story. The Little Sisters of the Poor were not ordered to pay for contraceptive services. Do a bit of non-biased reading to find the true story.
If the words match my feelings, there is nothing wrong with that. When you have to resort to screaming "liberal" you already lost the debate.
You think that someone should, by virtue of wealth and owning stuff, be able to punish someone for their religious affiliation?

I see, anything that runs contrary to your conclusion is propaganda.
You don't get to declare that.
Why would gays want to belong to an organisation which thought they were bad people? You don't see many blacks signing up for the KKK. I just don't get. Gays, stop beating this dead horse. It's their tree house they can hang a "no X allowed" sign if they want. Don't like it, don't go there, I know I won't and I'm not gay. No problem.
Another example of just why political conversations so often turn into circle spinning. I post, "Do a bit of non-biased reading to find the true story." and the response seemingly says I don't care what I read or hear that contradicts my beliefs because I KNOW THE TRUTH!"
I already did, I won 100 internets, you lost.
Just think
Jews refusing Catholics and Catholics refusing Muslims. The list goes on and on.
While religious freedom is a wonderful thing, it can also come and bite you in the arse.
Why is that bad?
Imagine yourself at the receiving end of discrimination.
What are you? 3?
No one cares what your take on myself personally is, and you would do better with a more honest argument that doesn't aim to tell others what they are saying/thinking....I know though, arrogance among progressive/socialists knows no bounds.
And it would have been an open and shut case with no defense whatsoever if they had been reading any other book besides the bible. That this was even a controversy demonstrates exactly the special protections that religion gets. As Somerville showed, the family got their money back. They were allowed to violate the law, solely because they were violating it for religious reasons. That's completely unacceptable.
That's seriously messed up. You think that someone should, by virtue of wealth and owning stuff, be able to punish someone for their religious affiliation? I will never understand the pro-aristocracy mindset that so many conservatives have.
