One of the things I’ve always wanted to ask evangelicals (except I can’t stand getting close enough to them to ask the question) is why in the Bible the only punishment for rape is to pay the owner (the man) of the property (the woman) for damages. I doubt I’d get a coherent answer because that’s exactly how they view women—as property to be used at their will.

Otherwise your freewill is tied up and handed to some imaginary super daddy in the sky.

Some kind of religious hocus pocus makes a zygote with more rights then a living breathing woman.

Are we sure the GOP and forced birthers really want American women to continue to have babies?

The idea that somehow a person has a right to control another without their consent is at the root of most of society's problems. The procreation agreement doesn't need to be transactional, it's species 101.

Men, if you want completion, don't go there. Women, don't buy into it on any level.

the ostrich putting his head in the ground to show that someone is ignoring or won't admit to a problem.
Now it appears that the RepubliQans are using their own 'back ends' - and those of their 'leaders' to go and pretend that all is well.......

Problem is - too many of them have to 'JUMP THE LINE' of all of the 'kissers' to get to their haven and gain points proving them worthy of having their heads up somebody else's A$$!

What a troubled country we have become when a minority can control the will of the majority - and they proudly show their stupidity in the process.

It is notable that the orange pig mentioned "fertility rates" in his latest video. What a tell. Dummy is giving away the plan. Gotta keep the white baby birth rate up. Fucking 2nd rate Hitler...

it's her own fault for behaving so wantonly so she must reliquish free will. No dsnger, cost, or punishment to the man.
