Definitely an article I need to read, and I completely agree with you. @Todd Razor, I saw the that on the front page, but haven’t had a chance to read it.

Right below it is a big feature on an Iowa project that's helping out post-genocide Rwanda. #irony P.S. I don't think any Bible-believing Christian could ever honestly justify Roeder's crime or the atrocity of abortion.

If that was their reason, I applaud the Rotary for their action. We need to hold back the tide any legitimate way we can. But there may have been other reasons that are not evident in this story.

But this isn't the case where it will happen. Could you imagine if she were a homosexual? @ECM, Very true, and I think we’ll eventually see that attacked and possibly taken away by the courts…

But this isn’t the case where it will happen.

Could you imagine if she were a homosexual?

Legally she has no basis to sue as she is not part of a protected group. @jackytc, I wouldn’t go quite that far. Legally she has no basis to sue as she is not part of a protected group.

All they needed was 11. I suspect that if more were needed they probably would have had more. Her sponsor said, "the club is made up of leaders who want to help the community." Well I'm not sure I would consider this lady a "leader who wants to help the community." I'd object as well, and I don't believe based on her profession that she measures up to Rotary's guiding principles - http://www.rotary.org/en/aboutus/rotaryinternational/guidingprinciples/Pages/ridefault.aspx @Wickle, They say they are looking at their bylaws since it was 11 objections out of over 300.
