Cynthia sticks her foot in it again...read on...
“Legal is not necessarily the same as right. Pharmacists whose consciences will not permit them to dispense emergency contraception need to be protected by our government. We all must answer to God, and it is not appropriate to ask people to perform acts that will traumatize them….Our government needs to secure the rights of people to stay true to a higher law…” [State Rep. Cynthia Davis (O’Fallon), Feb 2, 2006]
Wow. I didn't know giving out extra high doses of birth control pills was "traumatic." It's a little box, and it says "Plan B." It doesn't have a thing in it that a packet of birth control pills doesn't have, just a little more of it. The woman asks for it, gives the pharmacist the scrip, and the pharmacist hands back the little box that says "Plan B" on it and the woman says "Thank you." HOW FRIGGIN' TRAUMATIC IS THAT, CYNTHIA???? grrrrr
Cynthia, I might also add that fundamentalist islamic terrorists are "staying true to a higher law", too. How do you feel about that one?
I want a Cynthia davis T-Shirt!
Cynthia's great. She's the greatest recruiting tool the Democratic party, Planned Parenthood, science educators, or anyone else who's been the victim of her moronic attacks could ever have. She's the hypocrite's hypocrite, and makes Betty Bowers look mild by comparison. Best thing we can do is get her to a microphone and let people hear the voice of the religious right!
I think we need Cynthia Davis t-shirts that would have some of her better quotes.
Pharmacists whose consciences will not permit them to
dispense emergency contraception are in the wrong line of work.
They don't get to make this decision. It is made by a woman and her doctor. Pharmacists need to do their J O B and fill those prescriptions.

Galileo Turns Over In Grave
Cynthia Davis - Defender of the Faith

Things continue to heat up on the Cynthia Davis front. She seems to be very eager to get back in the headlines with further demonstrations of her blithering ignorance, blurting out the kind of gaffes the newspaper reporters love to copy. My two favorites from the enclosed Kansas City Star article of Dec. 2 are:
In comparing the proponents of evolution to the 17th Century Church fathers:
“You look at Galileo who was criticized as being a heretic because he thought the earth revolved around the sun instead of the other way around,”
On the date Representative Davis made this comment, Italian seismologists reported a slight disturbance in the vicinity of the Galileo family tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce, while the father of modern astronomy turned over in his grave.
and:
Her remarkable ability to ascribe precisely her own logical failings to her opponents. I guess this is a symptom of many on the fundamentalist right:
“For years, the proponents of evolution have asked the students to just take a lot by faith: Time plus magic equals life,” she said. “There are some parts of evolution that don’t add up.”
I can’t think of a better capsule comment on the serious defects of unscientific Intelligent Design and creationism: “take it on faith” and “Time plus magic equals life.” That’s the Genesis creation myth for you in a nutshell. And is there any respectable scientist or historian alive today who thinks the Bible adds up according to the canons of their disciplines?
What this woman doesn’t know could fill literal volumes – possibly even exceeding the entire historic record of science itself. I certainly hope she is as inept at political strategy as she is at the higher cognitive brain functions. After having studied the late mayor of Chicago, Richard J. Daley at close range for years, I have found the two are often mutually exclusive categories.
I think there is cause for optimism however in this article, in that Davis’ more rational peers in Missouri government seem to be making noises to the effect that they do not want to touch this issue with a rather sizable barge pole. I hope this consensus holds if/when Rep. Davis reincarnates the latest version of HB-35.
Peace.

Evolution Caused Columbine
Cynthia never disappoints. The P-D has an article on her hearing on the evolution bill.
All but one person who testified in favor of the bill were members of two families, both of which home school their children. Critics included a University of Missouri professor and a representative from the Science Teachers of Missouri, which opposes the bill.
The only fireworks in the otherwise sedate debate came after an evolution critic made an indirect connection between the Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colo., and evolution instruction.
Ann Ihms, who traveled from her home in Indiana to testify, said the Columbine killers had a disregard for life that could have rooted from the view that humans evolved from lower species.
“What does that cause children to think?” she asked. “If I’m from a monkey I might as well act like a monkey.”
