Aside from the fact that you were fooled by a miscaptioned picture you might want to take a look at who’s on your side. The same people who routinely protect pedophiles, fleece their congregations to live like rock stars, and ones who show up at funerals to tell people their loved ones died because god is punishing them for the U.S. allowing abortions. Let’s not forget the “respect life or we’ll kill you” crowd.
You need to stop saying “there’s always adoption” like 9 months of pregnancy and giving birth is of no consequence. There are a great many consequences (not to you, of course). It can devastate a woman financially and emotionally, and the physical complications can include death. So really, you need to stop saying that.

If adoption solved the issue, and Christians who CLAIM to value life and wanted to “save” kids - there really shouldn’t be 400,000 (est) available NOW - YET
The scariest mother-fucking couples are posting their Christian pics with signs 
“we’ll adopt”
THIS aside thou 
Since you had time to RANT on Greta (whom I have some criticism of BUT not for blanket, fake photo reasons 
)…
YOU didn’t answer my question. Perhaps it’s just rattling around in your head.

The same “group” that latched into “my body, my choice” for anti-vax and anti-masking.
NOW - the vaccine 
they don’t have to take. It was not forced upon them. BUT as with any decision there are consequences and risks that have to be considered. YOU think forced pregnancy doesn’t cost jobs or lifestyle or financial losses or health issues or mental problems???
ANTI-MASK??? Lol. Just plain stupid. Reducing risk (like wearing a condom), social distancing and air ventilation goes a looonnnngggg way in preventing spread of a contagious virus 
. BUT masks are “uncomfortable”. Stupid public health standards.

The reemergence of superstition being a significant guide to public policy is what bothers my desire for a rational government. Religions live in the easy answers of superstition. The comments above are focused on the recent expression of this court’s basis in superstition not in the facts of today.
Today we know men and women are equally capable of self direction.
Today we know it is difficult to let religion into public life without conflict.
Today we know making it easier to kill will lead to more killing.
Claims of this court can be directly attributable to superstition, not to the facts.
My thought experiment goes like this:
If a woman is not capable of self direction, she cannot be held responsible for her actions.
If one superstition is allowed to be on the 50 yard line, all must be.
If anyone can conceal carry we must all be fearful of fender bender accidents.
I have never heard this group of Catholics express how their re-imagining of the law aids any part of these concerns. To them the constitution is just like their superstition, part of what keeps people needing religion for solace.
Just as priests stood by as people were tortured in the past because it brought power to them, they stand by this return to barbarianism.

They think that eliminating the option many women want so that the only option left is the one they want is “problem solved”.

The best argument ever. It really is no one’s business whether or not a woman has an abortion. It has zero effect on anyone else’s life but the woman, her body, what she’s dealing with, and her doctor.

Well there can also be made the case that given the fact that we are all expected to make well informed choices regarding all of the important issues in our lives, removing what might arguably be the “best option” from the available choices for women is contradictory, as well as creating a special exception rooted in misogyny.

Well, to even the playingfield…since the womben folk have to give up their organ by force to sustain another’s life, the menfolk should have to give up a kidney by force to sustain another’s life.
No exceptions.

I have another suggestion. Since this is about controlling reproductive choices, how about all males undergo reversible vascetomies upon or before puberty until at which time they are deemed “capable” of responsibly fathering children, when they would be “allowed”
to choose to do so. I am sure this would garner overwhelming support from those in the anti- choice camp.

As a secondary thought, since the members of the Atheist Republic are not superstitious, should we be excluded from 50 yard line demonstrations?

Does anyone besides me find it very ironic that the most “pro-life” anti-abortion states are also the ones most pro-death penalty?

No, just look at the people their deity eliminated. Not supprizing at all.
