If it's real, it's insane. No deep linking of a blog?! You gotta be kidding. I thought that's why you provide permalinks. And if I can't deep link, how would I provide the link to as required by paragraph 2? And lawyers wonder why they have a bad name. Shaking head...walking away... If this is sarcasm, it’s a classic.

To be honest, I'm just a little perhaps, over-sensative about how Christian groups are portrayed in the media, especially since the whole "Dobson is crazy, he thinks Spongebob is gay" thing got big, something he never said. Perhaps I'm a little paranoid, but to me it seems there's a concerted effort to damage Dobson and Focus on the Family in the media, the FRC I'm less concerned about, but as far as I know, they have some history with FotF. Consider, how John Cole views FotF & Dobson for what I can see as very thin reasons, but hey there's got to be some bogeyman.

Accordingly, I've removed them from the definition.

"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful, because they may see it as a licence to engage in premarital sex," </i>. And for this the FRC is determined to be a part of the lunatic fringe? FWIW, the article's author states "In the US, for instance, religious groups are gearing up to oppose vaccination," but FRC just at this point is voicing concerns. The FRC themselves haven't stated their positions yet. Just as importantly, every vaccine has negative side effects, some of which haven't been completely linked and what not. HPV is easily avoidable, and while the availability of a vaccination is valuable, a mass vaccination is easily different and to me seems like it could be reasonably read as attempting to achieve some other end (allowing greater sexual license). (If a woman wants to be sexually licentious fine, offer her the vaccine, but why cause all women, including the virtuous to suffer on account of the licentious; of course, that has been the affect of the woman's lib movement and feminism for the past 40 years.)
