Religious Right Will Take Away Women's Reproductive Rights By Any Means Possible.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The Hobby Lobby decision is just another in a string of events where the religious right plans to take away women's reproductive rights no matter what they do. And the religious right has the momentum right now considering recent decisions. Personhood laws are the religious right's main weapon in making most contraception if not all illegal.

The plan is a long term plan that includes creating a Christian based constitution. The US will fall due to voter apathy before terrorists cause it to fall. What we have amounts to a religious based insurgency hell bent on replace what they view as an evil secular government with a Biblical one.

Unless American who are not believers fight back vigorously the religious could succeed. Religion is invading government at every level and we have a Court that is willing to move forward in eradicating the barrier between religion and government. 5 ultra conservative Catholic justices are more than a coincidence.

Women and men who want reproductive freedom are going to have to get active and openly appose these people before it is too late. The religious right has the GOP and unlimited money from certain billionaires to advance their agenda.

1. Not going to happen

1--The "religious right" doesn't want a Constitutional convention, because they know they would lose BIG TIME, if things like reproductive rights and healthcare were suddenly included. And they would be.

2--Nothing would wake up and shake up the vast majority of voters here like being told how to live their lives by fundies.

3--The religious right has a foothold in a few states (increasingly fewer all the time, BTW) but look at the last several national elections.

There are more important things to worry about than the imminent implementation of a theocracy, based on the beliefs of people who are too easily lampooned.

2. I agree that they don't have a chance, but ....

I don't know that THEY know they don't have a chance. I do think they believe they can establish some sort of Christian theocracy in the US and that this is their goal. First of all, they think that more people agree with them than actually do. They also are completely convinced that Jesus is on their side and they are doing "God's Will". They also have no idea about actual history and think that there was a time when the US was a Christian Nation (their idea of what that would be) so to them this is nothing new, but returning to what America used to be.

However, yeah, I don't really sit around fearing it except that sometimes I do think it would benefit our Corporate Masters to be able to control people in that way. Religion has certainly been used by TPTB to keep the masses in line before. But, yeah, on their own, the fundies have no chance.

3. So I say, let them try

and go down in flames.

4. I agree.

Back in the day when they were focused more on getting rid of abortion rights, I used to try to tell people that what they REALLY wanted (as a next step) was to get rid of birth control. Most people thought I was nuts, so I am actually glad to see them out there, going after birth control, because it shows just how nuts and out of touch they are. The more they grab for and the more they talk, the better.

I hate(d) Reagan, but at least he was smart enough to only speak in code words and dog whistles. Bush II couldn't quite hold that together. Too much for his meager brain, so stuff started slipping out. And now with the Tea Party and their ilk feeling emboldened and also just not having the aptitude for nuance or flying under the radar, they're just letting it all hang out.

Which is, IMHO, great. Let them expose themselves for what they are and what they really want to do to this country.

5. They will get to folks

Through their infiltration of education. That's how they do it. Home schooling, charter schools, universities, etc. etc.
