I'm from Oregon and this has been a topic lately. The wierd thing is Oregon is one of the more religiosly tolerant states. I think we also have one of the highest ratios of Atheist per population. It's just weird to have fundie nut jobs of this caliber so near.

Where's the religious right on this? They sure will fight for the right to life for an unborn fetus, but not for an already born 13 year old?
