The idea that someone who is ‘pro-life’ cannot be ‘progressive’ on hate crimes is ridiculous! The basic human rights, and the intrinsic human dignity, of LGBT persons are identical to those of the unborn child … and of every human person.

In moral terms, I have no problem at all with Rep. Cao’s position. In legal terms, I do think that a ‘legal framework’ for abortion is a ‘tragic necessity’.

@ Timothy

In Anglo-Catholic circles here in the UK is really quite common for people to oppose BOTH all forms of malice, in speech and action, and unjust discrimination against LGBT persons AND the notion that abortion is somehow ‘OK’ (the ‘tragic need’ for a ‘legal framework’ notwithstanding). Philosophically and morally, these two positions are entirely consistent, in my view.

Rep. Cao is obviously displeased he was not re-elected, but he is, I strongly aver, correct in principle to ‘blast the FRC’.

I believe Mr. Perkins should not have supported either candidate in this race, rather than come-out, against Senator Cao. The man who won, Cedric Richmond, is another ‘Bill Jefferson’. Senator Cao has integrity, this word does not appear to be in Mr. Richmond’s vocabulary. He has plans to become a “RICH-MAN”, off the backs of the ignorant people in his district. People deserve what they elect. “How’s that hope and change working for you ” ?

As someone who is firmly pro-choice, I found this quite amusing. And this is another point for Rabbi Shmuley’s argument about how some conservative christian’s are too focused on gays.
