In a time when foster and adoptive homes are difficult to obtain, those who would seek to disqualify an individual or couple from taking on a parental role solely because of their sexual orientation or marital status are not only blinded by conservative ideology to what is in the best interests of children but perpetrating [...]

Coulter reportedly dropped f-bomb again, and says
she can "understand" the murder of doctors who provide abortions

post from AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth on 07 March 2007 12:37:00 PM. © AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

She did this the day AFTER she attacked Edwards. She already knew what she did, and she did it again knowing full well the scandal it was already causing. From Politico.com

On the heels of her well publicized John Edwards quip?that both seem to be taking advantage of, there?s more Ann Coulter shock-and-awe. At a conference in Ft. Lauderdale over the weekend at the Center for Reclaiming America, which is connected to TV preacher James Kennedy?s Coral Ridge Ministries, Coulter reiterated her John Edwards description, and, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said the following:

Earlier in her remarks, Coulter noted that seven doctors and clinic personnel had been killed, saying, "Those few abortionists were shot, or, depending on your point of view, had a procedure with a rifle performed on them. I'm not justifying it, but I do understand how it happened....The number of deaths attributed to Roe v. Wade - about 40 million aborted babies and seven abortion clinic workers; 40 million to seven is also a pretty good measure of how the political debate is going."

A birdie on the scene told us that after the f-word remark about Johnny Boy, the hundreds of conservatives who filled the church to the brim, gasped in shock. Moments later, she bid her adieu.

Answering an audience question during the Fort Lauderdale event, Coulter said, ?I spoke at C-PAC yesterday, and I [took questions] about Obama and Hillary and Gore and global warming, and I said I was going to also have a few remarks about the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but apparently you have to go to rehab if you use the word ?faggot.??
