A week or so ago I read this great post on another blog about the HPV vaccine issue. I kept meaning to write something about it here, but have realized she did it better than I would have. So, just read hers. Here's her backstory.
Scott and Lachen have both wondered why there seems to be such virulent backlash against the extreme Christian right, a backlash that leaves mainstream and moderate Christians painted with the same broad brush. It's because our government's policies -- what research gets funded, what government-sponsored literature says, what guidelines government-funded clinics must follow, etc. -- are being influenced by the kind of people who see a medical breakthrough that will save thousands of lives as a scheme to promote immorality.
This is why all you non-radical, clear-thinking, moderate Christians out there -- even if you're pro-life -- ought to be voting Democrat. OK, I'll stop now...
