Intelligence is fickle (or, ‘Right wing voters hear only what they want to hear’)

Why the contraception debate was never a debate
Mar 8, 2012 in Politics, Religion
In this country, male, religious, tax-exempt “authorities” are granted more access over legislation than the people to whom it affects; where we allow the loudest most absurd voices in the room to get the most airtime because their narrative tends to agree with the ruling majority’s basic tenets of sexism and inequality as supported by “faith”.
