[extropy-chat] Religious leaders prepare demands on White House

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

This is quite disturbing, but was to be expected.
Pioneer press: America's conservative religious leaders, credited with
providing the margin of victory for President Bush's re-election, are
ready to present the White House with a bill for services rendered.
The list, they say, is a lengthy one, beginning with the nomination of
U.S. Supreme Court justices who will overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade
decision on abortion, increased support for a constitutional amendment
banning gay marriage, and a larger role in policing decency for the
Federal Communications Commission.
The Rev. Steve Smith, spokesman for First Baptist Church of Orlando,
Fla., said Bush's election and his support among conservative
Christians show large portions of the electorate are "grounded in
traditional family values."
On abortion, for example, "there's no question" there will be pressure
from Christian conservatives to appoint judges who "value the sanctity
of human life," Smith said. Conservative groups will continue to push
for an end to abortion or, at the very least, legislation "greatly
limiting" the practice.
