3. I can't believe people this stupid are allowed to vote.
Seriously, that should be a test for full citizenship: do you get outraged at Onion articles?

5. People believe what fits their
world view. The anti-choice fanatics are no different. They see abortion everywhere, in Planned Parenthood, in drugs stores that sell contraceptives, in sex education that "promotes" sexual promiscuity etc.

The idea that they believe an Onion satire without a second thought shows the level of their critical thinking skills.

6. The article pre-emptively parodies (and predicts) these dimwits' hysterical reaction to it.. there
must be a name for that kind of satire. What is it? Whatever it's called, it's brilliant, and hilarious.

9. It was also a dead-on portrayal of what the fundies really think,
Another good one was the Devil being interveiwed about how excited he was about all the Harry Potter fans worshiping him now they had read the books.

12. I take it they are not familiar with the onion or satire.
Going ape-shit over a fake news item. This just goes to show us that these are the people who should not be allowed to vote... Cannot read/ comprehend... Also, they believe the lies the politicians and fox say about planned parenthood and abortions being their business that they can actually believe that any business would spend 8 billion dollars on a building project... Let alone in Kansas... The monetary number alone should allow them to realize that this story seems a bit off. Inability to comprehend and to believe that drs who administer care to women are so evil and inhuman. The census numbers showed that unplanned, unexpected pregnancies has increased since 2000 census... Guess all that sex education of "just say no" is a complete failure... And that women know less about how to access the facilities and have the locations which would help educate themselves about protection from Std's and unwanted pregnancies.. Most prevalent was increased numbers in southern states and within certain ethnic groups... By scaring illegal residents from dr facilities and services (cheap contraception and info on STD safety), these rightie tighty want to regulate your bedroom types are increasing the population numbers if those they also want to "send back home".

They have the absolute inabilty to show compassion or think the world revolves around their ideas and opinions... They have the God ordained mentality to think they are correct, try to rule by mob mentality, and lack the ability to see the whole picture and tie ine thought or idea to the next... They cannot ubderstand how enacting single-payer could lead to cheaper rates for everyone, covering everyone so that the costs if an actual medical condition won't bankrupt an American and the family, will allow small business to compete and hire workers, that it should be a right, and that putting all the American eggs in one basket would help to fund the Medicare account that only covers the seniors who need expensive coverage with younger healthier workers who access less medical costs normally, as well as, help regulate the costs of procedures, facility performance, and reasonable costs for drugs... They don't understand that getting Americans affordable healthcare us part of the piece that helps jobs to come back.
