    Those with cocks damn well should care if they get a woman pregnant, particularly since there are many child support laws in effect.

    Children as punishment.
    I'm sure the kids love that upbringing.

    Y'know something I notice?
    I've been listening to The Dollup for the last 4 years or so now, and virtually every time they do a biography of some homicidal maniac, or cult leader, or con-artist that culturally damaged the country for generations, they start out orphaned, abused, or with 18 siblings, and had to run away at 13.

    Seems to be a pattern...maybe we should pay attention to that...
    Naaahh....let's ignore it, and double down on obsolete morals from a bronze age storybook.

    no you god-damned fool, they will still occur - in Arkansas, likely considerably more per year than has occurred there in any year since Roe.
    But they will happen in unsafe conditions, in unregulated settings, done by the same sort of assholes that happily inject industrial silicone into people's ass. The "babies" will still die, and with them, often enough, the mother as well. But hey, no big deal right? In your mercy-less imitation of Christianity, they have it coming...right?

    Here's real talk for you: you lot in the "pro-life" crowd? You could have effectively gotten your way 30 years ago - except you had to be assholes about it. Callous motherfuckers who frame your supposed concern for life within the framework of your REAL agenda, regulated people's sexual behavior to comply with your religious tradition rules. If you had convinced the culture that you really and truly just wanted to save lives, by showing through your actions that you were compassionate and caring and empathetic to ALL people (ya know, like the guy y'all CLAIM to follow?) and you negotiated for practical, sensible, scientifically literate restrictions that actually made some objective sense, the issue could have been done and done under Reagan.

    Oh there would still be some abortions - as there will regardless of how Roe is treated - there's never ben a time when they did not happen and never will be, but they would have been fewer, more justified, and ethical. YOUR side fucked it up. Still are fucking it up. Because you'd rather use the issue as political leverage as have real working solutions.

    Evidence? Under "pro-choice" Obama, the abortion rate in the U.S. fell to the lowest per-capita rate since before Roe...thanks to the application of a number of policies that your side completely opposes. And you are all STILL trained to think of him as an enabler of baby butchers because your political ambitions require you to.

    Don't lie to yourself that the blood on the hands only exists for Democrats.

    I will grant you that RvW is used as a political tool...by BOTH sides. Similar to how illegal immigration is. It's wrong.

    But back to the murder of children. If a woman kills her own child......let her die as well. Completely justified.

    What if she's impregnated by a rapist?
    Cut his cock off, and let him bleed out through the stump?
    Or just kill women, because Jesus?

    I'd heard some first hand accounts of women having to drive five hours into New Mexico to get the proceedure.

    I do remember a piece on the insane regulations clinics face, like all kinds of nitpicky crap such as water faucets needing to be X inches away from the wall....stuff that independent clinics may not be able to keep up with, particularly finding enough doctors with admitting priviledge....so they shut down.

    Big cities are gonna be the last to feel that, even in Texas, but I'm glad I was mistaken.

    Why do people think that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade would last any length of time even if it happened? It would almost certainly be by a mere 5-4 vote and would probably then be decided the other way once a justice was appointed by a Democratic president.

    This is what you don't get about most atheists and agnostics. Give them the proof and they're right there with you.

    The accounts you heard are probably from women who live in West Texas or the panhandle, where even in a medium-size city like Lubbock Planned Parenthood has closed. Because it's so isolated from the more populated parts of the state, it's actually more convenient to drive to New Mexico than to one of the large cities here.

    The legislature passed some moronic rules a few years ago that, I believe, have been rolled back to some extent but don't quote me on that. Regardless, clinics in the larger cities here won't close.[/quote]

    I doubt he is a true believer. Just yet another pandering politician who knows whose votes he needs.

    He's also too busy filing a lawsuit against the guy who tackled him on his lawn a while back. Talk about a snowflake -!

    Are you ashamed to say?
    If so, why?
    You have all kinds of horrible beliefs you're proud to shout from the rooftops.
    Why so shy now?

    I don’t know how the universe started. Neither do you.

    So what is my faith?

    If intentionally kill an unborn child, or support killing unborn children, you deserve the same.

    You're right. It's a good thing women are able to just put their pregnancies on hold for five or six years while waiting for that to happen.

    They can't fathom not praying to a thing, so to resolve the confusion, they make up that we pray to a thing, but are lying about it.

    I specifically asked about what happens when the child is conceived in rape, and you tapdanced around it.
    What else am I left to conclude?

    If I'm wrong, clarify.
    What does saying atheists "have a faith", mean absent a deity to worship?
