Tam, I respect your decisions to not divorce and not have an abortion in accordance with your faith.  The beauty of this country is that we all have the latitude to make our own decisions and choices regarding our values and our faith.

However, that doesn't give you the authority to enforce your faith or choices on others.  Are you suggesting that abortion should be criminalized?  Perhaps the same should apply to divorce?  Where does it stop?  Some believe that the bible forbids masturbation and violators should be put to death (I'd have been hanging in the gallows many times over before I was 14).  

Taking Shannyn to task over her column is entirely appropriate.  Clearly she wrote an intentionally provocatively piece.  And that was her decision.  Let's hope it always stays that way.

Oh, and thanks for not considering all men evil rapists.
