11. There are no real Christians left

At least not in America. Not since the evangelicals swarmed into power.

They are very quiet. Practicing Quietude.

Look to the Unitarians, maybe the Episcopalians for sane Christianity.

15. I'm no expert on the Bible or New Testament, but did Jesus actually condemn abortion?

As I recall he was more about Love thy neighbor, help the poor & sick, and welcome the stranger.

None of those virtues come to mind when examining the words & deeds of holier-than-thou Republicans.

2. It is outrageous, and all these chisto-faschist right wing judges
Tue Mar 26, 2024, 10:57 AM
Mar 26

are basing their arguments entirely on hypotheticals, not actual results,

If any of these draconian judges gets a condition that requires an extraordinary medicine, they deserve to be denied access to that drug.

What if a woman comes in with mifepristone complications? A bible thumper doctor will have to complete the abortion!

Ok sure. What if a pregnant woman is in a car accident and requires abortion to save her life? Are we going to ban cars to avoid this hypothetical?

9. 5 are R-W Opus Dei sect Catholics. And Gorsuch, raised Catholic, usually votes with them.

Opus Dei is a sect that desires to take power around the world. Usually led by very wealthy and/or very politically connected men. What I would call a Christo-fascist organization that seeks power (and money) under the guise of religion.

...there will be a 13 member SC next January. Make it the cornerstone of the Democratic platform. Have these tone-deaf idiots never pissed off a woman? "Hell hath no fury..."

6. "Pro-life" isn't about babies. It's about punishing women who enjoy sex.

8. These justices need to answer this question:
Tue Mar 26, 2024, 11:45 AM
Mar 26

Do you think your seats should be relinquished to physicians and medical professionals? If not, why do you believe that you have the right to take their jobs? And where in the constitution does it give you that right?

Answer is mandatory.

12. As well as all their nefarious little hobby foundations, too.

Religious freedom shouldn't be a subject ever discussed in its regard to basic human rights. Religion is not a basic human right. It is a fraud imposed by a wealthy-sinner-dependent priesthood (preacher-hood for all you heathen protestants and Buddhist shaman worshipers) to sustain their power and prestige over the centuries to oppress science. Though, when they need to pretend a belief in democracy, they'll rub elbows with anybody holding a few hundred million dollars or a seat on the USSC. It is the human right of every citizen of a free nation to reject and ignore religion at any or for all time. It is the duty of citizens to drive religion pushers from the halls of government and justice.

14. Women will continue to abort unwanted pregnancy
Tue Mar 26, 2024, 12:49 PM
Mar 26

The only abortions these religiously insane patriarchs will stop are the safe ones, especially the ones done because a pregnancy has turned life threatening.

To patriarchs, we're not human. We're a bunch of animated flowerpots, perpetually owned by them as slave children, to be bred according to their will, not ours.

That makes me deeply angry, an ice cold fury.

are women haters. Also I heard on an interview between 2 well known women who said this is sort of "payback" to women. They do not like strong independent women. Just wait, there will be blow back.

Sadly, there’s never a shortage of misogynists and women-haters
