The Nation's Most Conservative Court Just Shut Down Two-Thirds of Texas Abortion Clinics

19. What you have in Texas (and other places) are two religious principles goading each other to

further action against women. The first principle states that God blesses those who do good and punishes those who are bad. This Calvinist idea is called double pre-destination = God loves the good person/God hates the bad. It encourages the idea that the bad are supposed to suffer for their sins. Thus women who want an abortion are supposed to suffer for their actions.

The other principle is the thou shalt not kill idea and this is taken out of the idea that you should not kill living human beings. The rw has applied it to the fetus.

So glassy eyed rabid mindless animals is exactly what we get. The are "true believers" who refuse to accept anything they cannot manufacture out of their own interpretation of the bible. As to the pain and grief - they think that the woman deserves it.
