Another Setback for Pro-Choicers

When the Supreme Court ruled against a woman's right to choose recently, overturning the right of every woman to an abortion and to choice, we knew it wouldn't be long before all our civil rights were threatened.

Did anyone think though, that the prolife rightwing would take away our freedom of speech?

We find out here that "Sen. Claire McCaskill was uninvited from speaking at her daughter’s Catholic high school commencement because her positions on abortion and embryonic stem cell research are at odds with those of the church."

Hey! What about our free speech rights? What about the separation of church and state?

We shouldn't let religion into the schools. This is the problem with vouchers and Catholic schools.

They should let Claire McCaskill speak! Just because she believes a woman's right to choose, doesn't mean she should ne censored!

This really is outrageous. I suppose the Catholics just don't understand this is a country with a First Amendment. I guess they never heard of "Roe vs. Wade", which gives all women a constitutional right to choose. By trying to cut funding for stem cell research, and for abortion, they have long showed they want to kill the separation of church and state, on top of ignoring Roe vs. Wade. But this is the last straw.

What a shame in our so-called democracy. When even a Senator is censored by the prolife religious fanatics.
