I'm not sure what bothers the right wingers the most, the things she says or the fact that she dresses like an adult and not like someone who can be ignored.

(10,103 posts)A lovely, compassionate and great woman who used to write a column I read on a regular basis. She's a beautiful example of compassion, in my view a woman of greater breadth than Mother Teresa.

(300,938 posts)[font size=large]"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."[/font]
