I don't mind if religious groups require women to cover their heads--like the Amish, Mennonites, and Catholic nuns in traditional habits. In the event I’m in my home church to attend Communion, I’ll put on a prayer covering. It’s completely optional, and these days just a tie to the past when it showed God’s order for people who were weak.
But the government requiring it? Would you support Obama having a czarina for head covering and prayer veiling? He supports fundamentalist Muslim groups in the civil wars in the Middle East which are repressive towards women against secular Muslim governments which are rather casual about women's freedoms. Part of the cover-up in Benghazi is a weapons pipeline to Syria.

I'm embarrassed to say some reader doesn't understand the difference between a religious freedom/choice to cover one's head and a government rule to cover one's head. Oh well, I won't show her ignorance and won't publish the comment. But trust me, there really are people who vote who are that ignorant.
