Bob Dornan is the Problem

And even in professing that he has no problems with gays, Dornan still can't help but mention that he has problems with gays. When Press pressed him about seeming to approve of gays in government service only in gay-related jobs, Dornan explained, "It's a scoutmaster thing. You don't put people . . . If you don't put men over girl scouts, then you don't put men over people that they're sexually attracted to."

No 'Rescue' of the Unborn in China

I think that right now they're doing what they have to do. I don't agree with the forced abortion, but I don't think the United States needs to interfere with what they're doing internally in this regard.
