Saw that, thanks. Gave it a pass as there were more important stories this week.
Hi Barry. Of any interest: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/27/missouri-nun-body-intact-four-years >
He never seems to have much to say about the thousands of paedophile priests that the RCC harbours…
The whole world seems to be in the grip of religious lunatics that seem determined to foist their delusions upon…

LAST year anti-abortion fanatic, Texas Congressman Chip Roy, above—along with almost 40 Republicans, issued an open letter accusing the Biden administration of waging “open war on Pro-Life activists”.
Roy and his barmy cohorts, according to this report, claimed that the US government has been using former President Bill Clinton’s Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act as its justification for carrying out “cavalier arrests of peaceful citizens.”
The Act prohibits interference, destruction, or damage to abortion facilities, pregnancy centres, and churches.
What happens in Texas doesn’t stay in Texas
The right-wing loon, representing a state in which abortion is banned, now has now has the UK government in his sights.
Roy’s official website reveals this week that he and seven other members of Congress have written a letter accusing the UK of infringing “religious liberty and freedom of speech.”
What justification does this moron offer for sticking his nose into the affairs of another country?
This is what his website says:
It has long been a goal of the United States to serve as a beacon of liberty and stand up for religious freedom throughout the world.
It adds that:
Multiple local U.K. municipalities have passed discriminatory Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs); these have empowered the government to target Christians and other people of faith for simply expressing their pro-life or religious views.
Reportedly, Parliament is now considering legislation to implement these zones across the U.K.

The letter is addressed the US Ambassador for International Religious Freedom, Rashad Hussain, above, and says:
PSPOs specifically target the activities of religious believers. For example, the city of Bournemouth has in force a PSPO that prohibits crossing oneself, reciting scripture, genuflecting, sprinkling holy water on the ground, and crossing oneself in the censorship zone.
Enforcement of these laws creates a deeply concerning pattern of legal and state-sanctioned harassment of Christians and other pro-life Brits for not only voicing support for the sanctity of life and for offering resources for women considering abortion, but also for exercising their fundamental right to free speech, religious freedom, and freedom of thought.

For the record Roy is not a Trumpite. He would love to see someone even more dangerous and deranged in the White House in 2024—Florida’s infamous homophobe Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis, above.
On Wednesday Roy endorsed DeSantis, above, to be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, calling the Florida Governor “a man of conviction” and saying he “unequivocally has made Florida stronger and freer.”
“Stronger and freer” my arse.
Recently, in reporting on Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, the Human Right’s Campaign revealed that more than 100 companies vocalised opposition for the wave of anti-LGBTQ bills advancing through the Florida state legislature.
The organisation said that 302 leading US companies—including Marriott, Hilton, American Airlines, and AirBnb—reported that they have difficulty with recruitment, retention, and tourism in states that debate or pass legislation that excludes LGBT+ people from full participation in daily life.
These policy fights negatively impact businesses operationally and financially, and needlessly put the safety and well-being of their team members and their families at risk.
