Christian "Culture of Life" rhetoric and Pro-Life zealots produce some very flawed legislation worldwide, but here is an upsetting story about strict legislation aimed at saving the life of a fetus at all costs.
Pregnant Nicaraguan Woman Denied Treatment for Metastatic Cancer
When Christians legislate we get pain, death, fear, immobility, and moral ambiguity.
We must continue to struggle to keep Church and State separate. Always.

Catholic Charities is now a Political Action Group no longer a Charity
Citing same-sex marriage bill, Washington Archdiocese ends foster-care program - washingtonpost.com
Well, so much for charities providing charity.
Good on Washington DC citizens and politicians refusing to cave to this nonsense. Another charity organization has stepped up to care for the 35 families Catholic Charities was servicing with the foster-care program.
The local government should investigate whether or not Catholic Charities has a right to receive $20 million a year in grants from the city. I doubt they have a right to such public funds as a result of their discriminatory practices.
Catholics are full of excuses for their Church's institutionalized bigotry. Catholic progressives better get with it. The last few years have shown the church regressing and solidifying its conservative cred. It's incredibly stupid, in my opinion. More interested in protecting the human institution than anything else.
I'm happy to see an American city telling them to get bent.
