Hypocrisy is defined as "an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction," (Princeton University). Well, no one better personaifies hypocrisy than Senator Bill Frist, MD of Tennessee.
As we all know, Republican Senator Frist, MD is the majority leader in the Senate. He led the failed movement in the Senate to amend the Constituion in order to ban gay marriage. The party in which he leads has made it very clear what their stance is on the two issues of abortion and gay marriage rights. They are against funding institutions that perform abortions, and are against allowing homosexuals the right to marry and receive benefits as a result of marriage.

But did you also know that Senator Frist, MD, gets money from abortions provided at hospitals he OWNS and that those very same for-profit hospitals are now PROVIDING BENEFITS for same-sex domestic partners?
