I am just saying that they have been praying for this a long time and for them, their prayers have been answered.

My days for having kids are over but I feel just as infuriated as young women who are marching. This atrocity relegates all of us to second class citizens. Thank you for being one of the good men standing with us Duncanpup.

I heard an interview with a Jewish person who said that the decision whether to continue a pregnancy lies with the mother. So, now we have Catholics, evangelicals, southern baptists, etc., telling the rest of us what to do with our bodies and our most private decision. I also heard a show about domestic abuse. Did you know the Catholic church (in the 15th Century) advised husbands to beat their wives "for the good of her soul" and that also extended to beating the children. The Catholic church has a terrible track record in regard to how it has treated women and children over the years--in the US, Canada, and Europe. And they are the leading voice telling us abortion is wrong and now forcing us to have children???? And the Southern Baptist Convention is under investigation for sexually assaulting its members, then lying, covering up, and defaming the victims. Yup, just the group of people who should be influencing our Supreme Court and our laws.
