and they proudly sport several McCain/Palin bumper stickers. I find that a bit ironic. They fired this teacher in her third trimester, leaving her without insurance as well. Its really sad that the school will probably see their enrollment go up now.

These people are in favor of limiting access to healthcare, nutrition programs for mother and children, subsidized housing etc. That they have gotten away with the pro-life label is absolute hypocrisy.
They want to guilt women into having the baby and that is all.
