In 1999, an article in "Jerry Falwell's National Liberty Journal" accused the creators of the PBS children's series "Teletubbies" of using the character "Tinky Winky" to promote a homosexual agenda.

I'm sorry that he's dead, but I just read that and laughed.

A homophobic, anti-abortionist who helped promote the moral majority. Supported right wing conservative politics and helped developed the climate which allowed religious based support for political parties in the US heavily dictate who would become President and what they could do with those powers.

So long. I'm pretty confident the world is now a slightly better place. Hopefully your legacy will fail to exist, just like you.

Any person who actively opposes the use of abortions fails to grasp their importance. While they should be severely limited in terms of usage for the general public, anybody who has ever met and got a chance to know a rape victim understands the necessity and the significance for them.

About 1% of all abortions occur due to rape or incest (in the U.S.) so what is your point? I personally think that abortion should only be allowed in these cases.

My point is that anybody who advocates that these victims should not have access to such a procedure without understanding the suffering of the victims should not be allowed to influence government policy.

While I am pro-Abortion, I think it should be very heavily regulated and used as a last resort. But some fundamentalists and the like think even in the cases of rape and incest that abortion should not be an option. In my opinion, if such a measure was ever legislated here, I would consider these people accessories after the fact for the crime by prolonging the suffering and the process of moving on by the victims.

That is my view.

There's no denying Falwell's impact on American politics and the American conservative movement. But he was nothing but a false prophet. I've been going over some of his quotes(including the ones from his segregationist days), and he's no man of God. I say good riddance. Unfortunately, many people think like he does.

If God/Heaven/Hell do exist, the reverend's gettin a rude awakening now.
