Why is Creationism so important to you? Specifically I mean.

I'd rather focus on religious terror and those who want to force their views on others.

Probably because in the US creationism is one of the views that religious zealots try to force on people. We actually have mainstream presidential candidates who are afraid to say that evolution is real because it might keep their base from voting for them. Considering that the US is lagging behind other countries in the sciences, stuff like this is a cause for concern.

Although I'd say in the science fields themselves we're massively ahead/on par with the rest of the world. The public is just a ****ing idiot is all, but I'm sure that's what you meant

Main reason I won't vote GOP. All of the God crap which leads to eroding the separation of church and state and further restrictions of women's rights.

First off Im not restricted, where did this war on women stem from? In the US its media b******* frenzy. In other countries sure women are treated like s*** however in the United States we're not.

I personally think some abortions should be restricted (based only on how long the woman has been pregnant) though I'm not sure what the specific details are regarding abortion rights in the US.

But I don't really think we are likely to see Christians passing through legislation that massively reduces the amount of first or even second trimester abortions, if they actually wanted to. It's just never going to happen.

Thats not enough for us to scream oh where were repressed. That does seem to be an issue where Christians have the upper hand when it comes to voting someone in office that disagrees with abortion. However that does not constitute as a war on women.

If you want to go beyond legislation, misogynistic behavior is very widespread and ingrained in daily rhetoric.

It's already happening in loads of states, so making it federal isn't too far off, especially if an executive order comes about.
