Fourth century Christendom? Do they mean Arianism? Donatism?

No cancer cure from THAT quarter then. We'll just have to force more births until it happens.

Don't have a uterus? Then sit down and STFU. "I've had to deal with rape and incest ..." No you haven't, you fucking cocksplat.

I don't know quite how to phrase this without sounding like "as a man ..", but it isn't only wonen affected by these laws. Without access to abortion, I would have been a 25 year old widower, instead of proud father to three adult children and happily married to the woman I love for 36 years.

Oh, the religious right has so much more work to do. Trans people still exist. Gay people keep getting married. Black people continue to vote.

And the woman/girl carrying the fetus will not. "OMG the aborted fetus could have cured cancer!" is the worst strawman, IMO.

I read once that the story is in the Bible to cast aspersion on the two tribes that supposedly grew out of Lot boinking his daughters.

I don't think so. I think they would have found someone else though.

Roe spelled it when you could have an elected abortion and when there needed to be extenuating circumstances. It was a pretty good compromise, IMO.

Do you see pro-life protestors harassing people at fertility clinics? Do you see massive funds being invested in preventing miscarriage? They don't believe that fetuses are people. They really, really don't.

β€œLiberals β€œ are such trash. The last thing I was thinking about on Mothers Day was abortion. Do you people have nothing else to think about?
