2. Despite American Evangelicals' screeching to the contrary, most human religions do make exceptions

4. Gosh, it's almost like we should stop making Orientalist comparisons to other cultures and come to

terms with the fact that this country is built on fundamentalist Christianity and white supremacy all by itself.

Men - while abortion is available under rare circumstances it’s never the woman’s choice.

Few legal cases allow women to seek abortion care. Women are able to get an abortion when their life is endangered by the pregnancy, or if the baby will be born with severe deformities or disabilities. Religious ethical committees must rule on the ethics and legality of the abortion before it can be carried out. After ethical approval of the abortion, the woman must obtain approval from a gynecologist, three general practitioners, a counselor, and permission of the doctor. One additional situation that occasionally allows abortion to occur is poverty. This is especially prominent in areas that the Taliban is still present in. Within Taliban controlled areas, poverty based abortions are generally approved more often because they have too many children.

9. This only shows how extreme the extremists are in our country...

this is an assault on the life, liberty, freedom, happiness, etc of women, and is definitely worth fighting over.
