of becomming a theocracy - we have a constitution for that, I'm not worried at all about this. Our fundies are annoyingly loud but really only constitute a small number in comparison.
The Handmaid's Tail scared the shit out of me (great book, horrid movie), I think it's an unreasonable fear.
This case is a state sponsored punishment based on Sharia law - an immediate threat to all the women in Saudi
Arabia and any other country that allows Sharia law to flourish. It's barbaric and I wont minimize it just because Pat Robertson is an asshole. There is simply no comparison.
