November 30, 2009 Hour 1 - Ugandan Death Penalty for Homosexuality

The Ugandan parliament is currently considering an “Anti-Homosexuality Bill,” under which any person “convicted of gay sex is liable to life imprisonment.” If that person is HIV positive or has sex with a minor or a person with a disability, he or she would be guilty of “aggravated homosexuality” and face the death penalty. Amanda Terkel of Think Progress reports on the bill and on it's connections with Pastor Rick Warren and the GOP. Plus, a big round-up of health care reform issues in both the House and the Senate this week, with Jason Rosenbaum of The Seminal, David Waldman of Daily Kos and Congress Matters, and Dr. Henry Abrons of Physicians for a National Health Program.
