In Like Flynn

In case anyone still has doubts that some of the progressive members of the Religion Industrial Complex are really social conservatives in liberal clothing, read this. I have nothing but respect for the millions of truly progressive churchgoers and church leaders out there. These social conservatives who nonetheless care about poverty and global warming, not so much. It’s quite clear that the deal they are proposing is to give up women’s reproductive freedom in exchange for votes.

Judging from my emails, a lot of liberals agree that that is smart politics and the best hope for a progressive majority. After all, it’s only half the population’s personal autonomy we’re talking about. Nothing really important. Sometimes you have to compromise for the greater good.
