there is no chance a pro-life law would pass without the religious vote


As an atheist that's strongly anti-abortion, this is a terrible argument. There are plenty of laws which can be argued to be "religiously motivated" whether they need to be or not, but that does not automatically make them either wrong, or solely religious. My reasoning for being anti-abortion are obviously not religiously based.

The minute this group starts forcing me to say the Our Father before I vote, I'll get back with you.

No that is not what “separation of church and state” means. People need to stop using terms they don’t understand

If you want to base your life on your fairy tales that is your business. It doesnt belong in grown ups making decisions regarding the law tho

I agree, but unless you can say for certain that the only arguments for being anti-abortion are solely religious, then I think this is a moot point. even if EVERY religious person currently is anti-abortion because of their religious belief, there is nothing from stopping them from adopting my thought process, which is devoid of any religious faith, should they ever drop their own faith.

I think you’re a pseudo intellectual trying to come up with “gotcha” statements and this thread isn’t working out very well for you.

But yeah, I would say that; Yes, most murdered people, if able, would choose to have not been murdered.
That’s what makes murder, well, murder.

You trying to separate the fact someone physically can’t have a thought from what their rational and hypothetical thought would have been isn’t witty. It’s dumb.
The fact their dead and can’t express it is the whole point. But then again Looking at the rest of your posts you probably don’t get that.
Troll on….

The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship.

On the count of the religious belief of some that abortion is murder, they are revoking the rights established by roe v wade of a mothers womb being part of her right to privacy.

There is no basis for abortion being illegal before christianity.

quote:

The first recorded evidence of induced abortion is from the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus in 1550 BCE. Many of the methods employed in early cultures were non-surgical. Physical activities such as strenuous labor, climbing, paddling, weightlifting, or diving were a common technique.


Are we going to ban those methods of abortion too. Pregnant women arent allowed to undergo strenuous activities that could cause miscarriage?

sure you do. you support laws because of a moral framework. that moral framework may come from being freedom minded, christian minded, progressive minded, climate minded, giving (welfare) minded, LGBT minded etc.



It's a little depressing that more people don't understand this. "We shouldn't legislate morality" lets me know up front that I'm dealing with a shallow thinker.

It's more of the practical issue of legislating around the exact moment of conception. A court would have to prove that a woman had conceived and taken steps to end the pregnancy. A huge % of fertilized eggs fail to develop on their own (estimated to be half). It's going to be exceedingly difficult to enforce laws that apply at a moment that is not easily observable and during which "life" is already very fragile. We simply don't have the tools to do that effectively.

I can't wait to see how this is enforced equally and fairly.

Making yourself to be God are you?

Other than posting BS and not including the link because of your being a coward. Let's try this ...Because it's obvious you are much dumber than you think.

No one in this decision has "Banned" abortion. Abortion is still legal and will be so following the decision. The act of stupidity from the left?

Schumer thinks he can pass a bill in Congress that makes abortion legal nation wide. Schumer needs to sit and realize, the moment a lawless attempt to prove his level of incompetence will go to the court and once again struck down by SCOTUS. The decision is solid until a radical left SCOTUS is seated. It's not Constitutional, never has been and there will be 50 different state decisions upon which to operate from.

Until then, it's more than obvious that you certainly don't represent an adult in the room.
