Meanwhile, in Non-Super Bowl Related News.

Karen Handel, the reported anti-abortion architect of the Susan G. Komen decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood, has resigned due to what she calls “gross mischaracterizations” of the Komen decision.

Riiight, and pigs can fly and creationists are honest. Do we look that damned stupid?

And, in California, the 9th Circuit in a 2-1 vote has decided that the lower court was correct in declaring Proposition 8 unconstitutional. Here’s the key quote:

"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples."

The fights not over yet and you know this is going all the way to the Supreme Court but the precedents are piling up. All in all it’s been a bad day for the forces of darkness.
