(135,425 posts)But here's the bottom line--it's NOT MY BUSINESS.
It's not yours, either. If a woman does not want to host that clump of cells, that's HER call. There are laws on the books that limit a woman's decision making, but meeting that timeline is HER duty--not mine, not yours.
This thread IS about opposition to abortion--the anti-abortion view of a person who is shopping the POV from a "I'm a cool atheist, kids--and I'm anti-abortion!" perspective. Lando Griffin, plain and simple.
If this woman was just another atheist, she'd fly under the radar. The fact that she is aggressively touting an anti-abortion stance and puts herself at the head of an organization touting that very stance, and that she is trying to play a lame ass "science" card to do it is what makes the thread newsworthy.
It's her stance on the abortion issue, her leadership of an anti-abortion atheist organization, that calls attention to her, not her lack of religiosity alone.
