We've had and "won" a lot of conversations that the bad guys want to overturn.

When "God is on my side" I'm never wrong, and am charged to continue the fight in martyrdom. If only they'd apply that dedication toward something worth fighting for.

they're fighting for the right to be bigots (THEY want "special rights" for themselves!) and do what they want (even if that includes bullying)- as long as they claim that they are religiously motivated.

They're fighting for the ability to tell women what to do with their pregnancies at every stage and, in some cases, fighting against a woman's ability to even control her ability to become pregnant in the first place by allowing employers and businesses to deny them access to contraception or, in the case of adolescents, the necessary education to make good choices.

They're fighting against the right of same-sex adults to form their own legally recognized marital relationships.

THIS is what they consciously choose to spend their time and energy on every single day- backed up by a well-financed cadre of angry bile-spewing talk show hosts whom rile people up over all of this.


And years from now, all of THIS, is what they'll be remembered for..............
