McCain Backer Hagee: Abortions Easier To Get In Public School Than Aspirin
Source: Talk to Action

In a sermon given at his San Antonio, Texas Cornerstone megachurch that was telecast and available in up to ninety million homes worldwide, controversial pastor John Hagee, who has endorsed the presidential bid of Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Jr., claimed that American public schools provide abortion services. Hagee stated, "Your daughter can get an abortion in public school without telling you but she can't get an aspirin without your approval." The pastor also claimed that public school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to witchcraft" and suggests that America has invited "satan" and demonic spirits into its public school systems by failing to display the Ten Commandments on classroom walls. Presidential hopeful John McCain, Jr. has said he is "glad to have" Hagee's support and "admires" the leadership of the Texas pastor - who has declared God has cursed and doomed America.

2. I've heard about this
From what I understand, abortions are performed after gym class, but before lunch.


:sarcasm: (I didn't really need this, did I?)

7. No, after lunch before music.
I'm pretty sure that's how it goes down here in San Antonio. You should hear the way some local radio jocks positively gush over this putz.

47. yes well, i would just like to point out that abortions are still harder
to get than acid in public schools.

so--let this be a lesson to all:
abortions: easier than aspirin, tougher than acid

9. WOW!!! I didn't know my daughter can get an abortion at her high school
Where do they do this? In the band room? How about the gymnasium (after all, the name begins with the letters "GY-"). Oh, wait! There's that "door" in the nurse's office. Where does it go? I always thought it was a closet...

I find that this points to an appalling lack of aspirin in our schools.

23. imagine the headlines: PUBLIC SCHOOLS GIVE OUT FREE ABORTIONS MORE THAN ASPIRIN
The previous respondent is correct: to the extent it is heard, the MSM will AGREE and cover Hagee's comments favorably and unquestioningly.

21. Ok, so how is this any different than Rev. Wright and "govt created AIDS"?
Oh, wait, it's worse ... because no public school has EVER performed abortions but the US government HAS conducted medical experiments on its citizenry absent informed consent.

But I won't hold my breath for the news media to cover it.

27. Obama Backer Crimsonblue: Brainwashing Easier To Get In Private Christian Schools Than Facts
In a post at DU created on his macbook pro in Kansas, crimsonblue, who has endorsed the presidential bid of Illinois Democratic Senator Barack Obama, Jr., claimed that American private chritian schools provide brain washing services. blue stated, "Your daughter can learn about creationism in christian school without telling you but she can't get the truth without going to Hell." crimsonblue also claimed that private christian school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to idolization" and suggests that America has invited "idiots" and religious fundies into its private christian school systems by failing to display the Constitution on classroom walls. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, Jr. has said he is "a stark contrast to the Bush policies" and "admires" the leadership of Abraham Lincoln-- who saved the country from itself.


which is more ridiculous? You decide....

35. I know that some teens get
pregnant at school...but, have abortions there? :shrug:

And, pastor Hagee, they can get aspirins...the only kind of birth control pill you favor...it works by having the girls hold the aspirin between their knees and not letting it drop. :evilgrin:

41. I used to get phone calls from my daughter
to bring her MIDOL to school. Her doctor gave her a note, but that wouldn't do. I had to BRING it to her and hand it to her in front of the nurse while she swallowed it. By the time her Senior year came around, she was sneaking it in her purse because she was too humiliated to have to announce that she a menstrual cramps and MOMMY had to give her the pills for it.

Are these people serious?

Who's performing these abortions? The PE teacher who has to teach Biology because they can find a teacher with a science degree?

44. Flatout fucking lying!!!!
"Your daughter can get an abortion in public school without telling you but she can't get an aspirin without your approval."

and...

"The pastor also claimed that public school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to witchcraft" and suggests that America has invited "satan" and demonic spirits into its public school systems by failing to display the Ten Commandments on classroom walls."

Like his delusion, witchcraft does not exist either. There are no spells from over yonder to fear. So according to his 'thinking' the Constitution, which gives him the right to say what ever dumbshit he wants too, is now evil because it is well defined in the Constitution that there is in fact, a serperation from church and State.

Hagee the Hutt, like all shamen, LOVE to make shit up. The really tragic part, is people actually listen to the fucking loonacies and fallacies that roll off his forked tongue.

PS: Go fuck yourself hagee!

52. It's shocking that McCain/Hagee would make such an idiotic statement
Does McCain/Hagee even realize that schools have ZILCH to do with providing abortions?

MCain/Hagee should retract those statements immediately and apologize to the American people.

The country doesn't like bigoted extremists like McCain/Hagee.
