How Do You Achieve Theocracy? In Imperceptible Increments, That's How

Naw, it's about pandering to voting blocks.

The onslaught of Christian vs Anyone Who Doesn't Live Their Way continues in Missouri. Our current Right Wing government, fresh from kicking thousands of indigent and disabled off of the Medicaid rolls, is now preparing to take away birth control from women on public assistance. The best part? It doesn't save any money from the existing budget, and the sponsor of the bill (a woman) flat out states that it is a Right to Life issue.

Yep...you read it right. A Right to Life issue. This means that the motion is intended to either curtail people from doing the nasty, or making sure that the chances of conception are increased if the act is committed, at least, by those who rely on public funds. Another case of "the majority" forcing their religious ethics on everyone else. This case is particularly stupid, since lack of access to birth control for the already indigent can only lead to the birth of more indigent children, and a greater burden on the public dole. But at least God will be happy.

Someone tell me again how we aren't moving to Theocracy? I find it amusing to hear those arguments while my legislature continues to work on laws designed to bring The State of Missouri closer to God.
