In reply to the discussion: "Abstinence Only" Rep Cassidy's unwed teen daughter is pregnant. Can he work AND be good father? [View all]calimary
(90,053 posts)12. Sigh... People of Baton Rouge... WHAT were you thinking?
Sixth district, Louisiana.

Look at the map of his district. Looks TOTALLY gerry-mandered the way it skeedaddles around every which-a-way. It looks like a map of Italy and coastal Greece drawn by either a three-year-old or a drunk. But instead of where the Mediterranean Sea is, around the boot of Italy and the Grecian west coast, there's just more land instead of water. Hmmm... wonder who THEY were trying to cut around, to get that weird misshapen jurisdiction...

Probably not. More likely they do it because they want to control their women.

Exactly, it boggles me that he's pushing for abstinence only while encouraging his own daughter

Is it really hypocrisy when a CHILD doesn't do what a PARENT says they should?

Yes, remembering the Bristol Palin hypocrisy. Something about glass houses and throwing rocks???

Poor kid. Now she's young, pregnant, and a working symbol of abuse from her dad, no doubt.

Actually, what many pro-lifers really want is for every single child born out of wedlock
