Do you own your body?

Are you a Christian? I’m going to assume yes. Let me apologize now, as a nonbeliever, my embarrassment in having to explain to you your own biblical scripture. You may have missed it in your readings because it’s deep into the Bible before you see it. You have to open all the way to, ya know, Genesis. Here is the verse:
Take the time to read Matthew 18:6...... and no, you don't need the apologize for taking time to explain the Bible to me.
 
Take the time to read Matthew 18:6...... and no, you don't need the apologize for taking time to explain the Bible to me.
The little ones that the verse references are followers, in this case, Children of God. It's not referring to the unborn or a child of youth. This is not MY interpretation - it says so clearly in the sidenotes.
Trump upholds no Christian values. Not. A. One.
Jesus and his sermon on the mount, which you just referenced, goes into detail warning the children of God to be wary of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Your view of Christianity (any religion) is something I honorably respect up to, and until you try to push your theocracy onto me and others through legislation. It pains me that Christians misunderstand their own Bible and that they have willingly embraced a charlatan.

I commend your efforts but in reality these are people who believe taking the name of god in vain means swearing. :nana:

Yeah, I know. :cry:
But I always tell myself, fool myself in the belief that we are clarifying lies and misinformation for others viewing and not so much the person we directly address. 60k women have been impregnated from rape since overturning Roe. That's out of a crazy, unimaginable figure of 519k reported rapes. OMG! Just let those numbers sink in! Of those, how many of those women were conservative or voted for trump? The number does not matter - I bring it up only to point out how it pains me to see you, like no one else here, fight and argue for rights of the likes of Buffalogurl and others despite their ignorance to a man who is a rapist and who bragged about grabbing women and despite conservative men treating women as demeaning objects here in conversation and in real world legislation.

Probably more than 60k by now. Realistically likely over 70k considering the time that has passed since the numbers were ran.

I remember in 2016 telling people in so many different ways why the risk to SCOTUS was so dangerous. Maybe the fear of carrying a rape baby will get their asses to the polls. (Sorry to sound so cynical but I'm more than a bit irritable - heh - about the whole thing.)
 
And sadly the risk has not lessened any since 2016. The rapist who brags about being the catalyst that overturned Roe by appointing an alleged sexual predator to the court to sit next to another alleged sexual abuser all are happy with their decision that is empowering rapists.
They, rapists, have more power now than their victims.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Three Montana laws restricting abortion access are unconstitutional, including a ban on abortions beyond 20 weeks of gestation, a state judge said in granting a motion for summary judgment filed by Planned Parenthood of Montana.

The 20-week ban and the two other laws passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2021 — one that banned telehealth prescriptions of abortion medication and required a 24-hour waiting period after giving informed consent, and another that required providers to offer patients the option of viewing an ultrasound or listen to the fetal heart tone — had been blocked by a preliminary injunction that was granted in October 2021.

France becomes world’s first country to enshrine abortion rights in constitution

France became the world’s first country to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution on Monday, the culmination of an effort that began in direct response to the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Lawmakers from both houses of the French Parliament voted 780 to 72 in favor of the measure, easily clearing the three-fifths majority needed to amend the French constitution.
 

Support for legal abortion hits new high among US voters: Fox News poll​


A record 59 percent of surveyed Americans believe abortion should be legal, according to a new Fox News poll published Wednesday, as the Supreme Court argued over whether abortion pills should be outlawed, and GOP politicians consider support for a national abortion ban.

Support for making abortion legal in all or most circumstances has gone up in every demographic, including those considered most critical of abortion rights. That includes a 16 percent increase among people 65 or older, a 12 percent rise among conservatives, an 11 percent increase among registered Republicans and a 10 percent increase among white evangelical Christians.

They also upheld the 6 week ban. It goes into force May 1st.

It should be an interesting experiment for Florida women and families from May to November.

And it also effectively cuts off access to abortion from women in neighboring states who have banned it.
And to think that DeSantis blew his presidential chances by signing that 6-week law that might be overturned in Florida in November. What an idiot.
