Roe v Wade

Today is the 42nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision to legalise abortion across the U.S. It will be marked by House Republicans voting on a national abortion ban called the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.” The proposed ban will prevent women from having abortions after 20 weeks – shaving several weeks off the legal window for women to access abortion services. Given the extreme nature of the bill, several conservative congresswomen have joined the fight against it.

This just goes to prove that those with Jesus have learned nothing.

The thing I don't understand about the anti abortionists, most likely christians, is what do they propose would happen to all of the babies that aren't aborted? Perhaps they could be given to science to experiment on? Lip stick testing, perhaps? Of course, using the aborted foetus' to harvest stem cells could save many, many lives.

Then there is that amazing piece of research, that the anti abortion league try to deny exists, about the modern phenomenon of the drop in crime rates across America that can only, really, be explained being caused by the Roe vs Wade decision. All those unloved and unwanted children who were a burden to their parents who never grew up to be criminals, because they never existed.


So not only are those with Jesus determined to make everyone without Jesus live by their Jesus living beliefs, they are also willing to let the rest of society live with an increased crime rate and a more dangerous society because they want to believe in some 2000 year old myth.

The contradiction here, of course, is that the most conservative, religious states in America are the people who most ardently support the death penalty, look at Texas, for example. Can anybody explain that?

The most conservative, religious states in America are all so the biggest supporters of war. Can anybody explain that?

I sure as hell can't explain it. But then, if you are a bible thumping, scripture loving christian you have no choice but to live your life by contradiction.
