Could Beverly LaHaye Compare to ANY of These Great American Women?

More aptly: Would any of these women identify themselves with Concerned Women of America?

Part II

The women featured here stood FOR something, but the CWA has defined itself by what it is in opposition to:

(From wikipedia) CWA opposes:

- Legal recognition of GLBT people and any form of GLBT rightsRecognition of marriage or any form of civil unions or domestic partnership between same-sex individuals, including reciprocal health benefits, calling all of these "counterfeit marriage" that will be used "to take control and to have the force of law to legitimise their disordered, unnatural behaviors."

- Abortion rights in all cases except to save the life of the mother. Health exemptions are considered "deceptive" and not supported.

- Hate crime legislation that includes sexual orientation, referring to such laws as "weapons against... people who might oppose the homosexual agenda, such as Christians preaching on the street, even Christians preaching from the pulpit around the world"

- All forms of sexual education other than that which teaches abstinence

- Pornography, obscenity, and media indecency, including on satellite radio, and satellite and cable television

- Embryonic stem-cell research, describing it as "deadly" and the destruction of "embryonic human beings"

- Emergency contraception in all cases including rape, asserting that ECP is actually an abortifacient by redefining pregnancy to begin at conception, not implantation of the zygote.

- Human trafficking in all forms, particularly of women for sexual purposes.

- Feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment

Somehow, I don't think these women felt the same way.

From top left: Elizabeth Taylor, Sacagawea, Rosa Parks, "Unsinkable" Molly Brown, Oprah Winfrey, Marion Anderson, Josephine Baker, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Helen Keller, Helen Hayes, Elizabeth Cady Stanton (with Susan B. Anthony), Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolley Madison, Coretta Scott King, and Amelia Earhart.

Now compare these women to Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America (Her boss is LaHaye). Wendy is quite sincere and quite idiotic in her hyposthesis that comprehensive sex education programs WANT kids to get STDs (you read that right)

The above American icons ROCK!

However, Wendy Wright IS a rock!
