Sharon Angle is running for a House seat against Harry Reid of Nevada. This woman is completely close minded and has views which should frighten any normal or average American. Firstly her views on abortion, she has publicly stated she is against it under any circumstance, including rape and incest. What right does she have to think that a rape victim who is impregnated during a act of violence should carry that reminder? If a young girl is impregnated by her father, then she should be forced to carry this child? What insensitive and completely narrow minded ideas and Sharon Angle would like to enforce these views on everyone else.
It is no surprise but this woman is also against any right of support for the Gay and Lesbian community. In a government survey she checked the boxes stating no to Gay Marriage, no to Gay adoptions, no to Civil Unions. Well she clearly doesn't represent any of the Gay constituents of Nevada.
What Sharon Angle does support is religious institutions being able to use tax exempt status's to endorse political candidates, talk about an infringement of Separation of Church and State. Guess what this close minded woman doesn't realize is that we Gay people contribute to the tax base, and personally I wouldn't want one cent of my tax dollars going towards a candidate endorsed by a church. If churches and religious institutions want to endorse candidates then give up the tax exempt status.
People like Sharon Angle would like to take our country back in time, when Gay people were in closets shrouded in fear, women had back alley abortions, and women in general had very few rights. She wraps herself in righteousness giving no thought of us being a nation of individuals and each person unique. We should pity her ignorance, yet never loose sight of the repercussions if enough people of her mindset are elected.
