I cannot believe that 'when the soul enters the body' is actually part of the abortion debate

26. Yup, you can always count on me for that

It's why I could never be a politician.

And probably why a number of people in this world don't like me much.

I do NOT defer to religion, because it's supernatural nonsense based on the scribblings of Bronze-Age nomads that didn't even know there was such a thing as ovum. They thought the female body was an incubator, and life was created by the 'seed' the man put into the woman, like it was all him.

Believe it or not, the female's genetic contribution was not proven until the 1800's sometime, I forget what year. And even then there was years of debate and controversy, because the idea was contrary to the 'teachings' of the Buy-Bull. Even though it should've been fucking obvious all along by the fact the children very often look more like their mother than their father.

Look I've been saying the same thing since I was 12, I've never wavered, and I won't back down on it to assuage other's tender feelings.

ESPECIALLY NOT when a particular religion is forcing their beliefs and patriarchal claptrap onto others via legislation and orders from on high (like SCOTUS).

I don't begrudge people practicing their religion, but from where I sit, their 'beliefs' better END ... where my body and life and livelihood begins ... or I'm pissed off.

I guess you could say I'm 'out of fucks' on this subject. Esp. the past couple of weeks, Post-Roe.
