Anti-Choice Rally On Smith Hill Today

5:09PM ON 01/27/2009
BY Matthew Lawrence

Today Governor Carcieri spoke at an anti-abortion prayer rally, conveniently (for him) located in the rotunda of the State House.  Because, in case you didn’t know, anti-abortion activists have their rallies INSIDE THE STATE HOUSE.  With prayers and everything!

Paying no heed to women everywhere requesting that the governor keep his rosaries off their ovaries, Carcieri apologized for the absence of his Asian-fearing wife and congratulated the crowd on their thoughtfulness:

“You’re on the right side of this issue, you know that. There’s no debate on this issue,” he continued. “It’s pretty clear to me. It’s pretty clear to anybody who thinks about it very long.”

I think no further comment is necessary.
