We hear too often that GOD HAS A PLAN. IT WAS GOD'S WILL. Well, what if HIS PLAN is for women to have the choice of an abortion.
I am so tired of christofascists wanting to shove religion down my fucking throat.

Hell, even the Ancient Egyptians knew how to concoct herbs and stuff to induce abortions among the upper Noble and Royal women.

Or cancer treatment, or trauma centers, or even flood insurance. Just sit back let God have the Glory.

Yes, it really is an asinine viewpoint.

God's will = whatever we want it to be.

I have never -- and I mean never -- met a believer whose God substantively disagreed with them on any particular issue.

You know you believe in the one, true God when he hates the same people you do.

You can just cherry pick the parts of the Bible that you need.

Stillborns?

God's will?

"What kind of God would do that?" asked Jews and others horrified by the Holocaust.

Pregnancy is God's will, and infertility is something that can be fixed.

God's only in the picture when it's convenient for their argument.
