Actress Monica Bellucci, The Passion of the Christ, Infuriates Vatican.
I found parts of the paragraph below very interesting. I'm speaking about the fact that only married couples are allowed certain procedures. I could totally see Bush pushing similar legislation in this country.

Bellucci's Pregnant Pose Infuriates Vatican

Italian screen siren Monica Bellucci's naked and pregnant pose on the country's edition of Vanity Fair magazine has infuriated The Vatican. The Passion Of The Christ beauty and her French husband Vincent Cassel are expecting their first child in the autumn. Bellucci decided to strip off as a protest against the new Italian laws, which allow only married couples to use in-vitro fertilization (Ivf) and prohibits the use of donor sperm. In the magazine, Bellucci rages, "Over here, if you aren't married with all the proper rubber stamps, they stop you using science to have a child. Religious and ethical dogmas have prevailed upon common sense. This kind of legal obstacle is not so different from the physical limitations that women have long endured. In Muslim countries women are forced to cover their heads and keep silent. In Italy, they are prevented from asking the help of science to become mothers, unless they are married." The Holy State's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano fumes, "The child who will be born is no longer a human being to protect in the womb, but becomes the unwitting accomplice of a sad game."

3. Monica Bellucci is HOT!
Well, she is. I mean, really, really, really hot.

And smart, too. Those words of wisdom should be taken as a warning for what Shrubco's Christian Taliban want to accomplish here.
