I've written here at Burnt Orange before, but because some of the personal information I have to disclose to complete this diary, I've decided that I'll forgo my usual handle. Enough people have been hurt by the actual events I'll be describing...and I hope to be able to shield those who deserve protection.
The initial action that forced my hand on this was Randy Neugebauer (Tx-19) yelling, "Baby killer!" at Bart Stupak during the debate on health care. I'm generally a tolerant person, and I understand that some very good people are on the other side of the abortion issue. But it's time those of us who are pro-choice begin to explain, in no uncertain terms, why it is so important to have access to abortion. To wax Shakespearean, there are more things on heaven and earth than are dreamt of in the conservative ideology.
