Guess where the info comes from.
Oh boy, you got me. I guess teachers, by virtue of the fact that they work in a building where sex ed is being taught, have no right to oppose abortion.

Oh, wait. They don't perform abortions during sex ed class, you see. But they do perform abortions, lots of 'em, at Planned Parenthood.

They can complain to their union boss, or just not pay dues to the equivalent of their part of the donation if they feel that strongly.

Problem solved!

In CT (as I'm sure in most places), the dues come directly out of the teachers' paycheck, and teachers do NOT have the option of witholding a portion of their dues. If they did, I agree, problem would be solved. But that's not an option.

Unions don't like giving members options, you see, they want guaranteed union dues so they can buy democrats who will reward them with insane benefits.

Sure! A humble civil servant, suing the unions, which have all of the politicians in their pockets!

Or, you could do what the taxpayers in Wisconsin did, and vote for Republicans. That's just what they did. Problem is, the unions and the Democrats are undermining the democratic process because in this case, it didn't fit their personal agenda...

As Obama likes to say (or at least, he USED TO like to say this) "elections have consequences".

looks like Indiana democrats are fleeing their state as well

interestingly, they need to flee to neighboring states with democrat governors otherwise they can be arrested and returned to their own states...

the Founding Fathers would be proud I'm sure....
