Republicans in Ohio want to undermine the will of voters who approved a measure enshrining reproductive freedom into the state’s constitution
“No amendment can overturn the God-given rights with which we were born,”
But then, that implies that you don’t have rights until you’re born…
Redefine birth = conception. Solved.
Does that fucking suck or is sucking fucking?
I was just about to quote this exact thing. That has to be the winner. The most idiotic anti abortion quote ever. Congratulations to that lady.
*baby
They definetly have the right to not have abortions themselves. But that’s probably where the line should be drawn.
If the Dems get their way they’ll be forced into abortions
/s
You joke, but they really do make the forced abortion claim.
You can say you’re being sarcastic but it can easily be seen they weren’t when saying the same gorramn shit.
Upvote for FF.
If God wants it so bad, why doesn’t he handle it his goddamn self?
I’ve learned a lot about God over the years and I think I can handle this one.
God… is busy with other things. Like making quarterbacks good at football.
He made my coffee nice and strong this morning, but he didn’t kill 4000 Gazan children in a week.
See it’s easy.
This is the best comment ever made on the internet! LoL
EDIT Just realized that I sound sarcastic. I am not.
God hates my team so he can fuck off
Because mysterious ways and free will
I mean, whatever delusion you’ll buy that’s equivalent to any sense of anything after death, now cocks gun.
Get your god out of my government. Shitbags.
And off the money And out of the pledge And out of the schools
Could not agree more. These dumbasses just cannot grasp the rules in their little club are for them, not for me. Their rules don’t apply to me. Any extra-secular claims are completely invalid in our government.
It should be socially acceptable to punch anyone in the face whenever they say stupid shit like this.
Are you sure it’s not? It’s illegal, sure, but I don’t think I personally know anyone who’s bothered by fascist punching.
A magic man in the sky told me I could take away your rights.
Pretty sure this is the subtitle of the Bible.
I say we make all the gods battle like Pokemon and whichever wins gets bred until they produce a sub-par sequel Universe that lets us collect and battle new gods! It will eventually become a multi-universe franchise but can only be played on the Super Cosmocom - unless you guys prefer collectible card games?
What they say their “god” says does not matter in a secular government. They can go fuck themselves. Whenever anyone talks about their god, in my head, I give it about as much relevance as if they were talking about what Harry Potter demands. Or
Also, I’d like it if more people were to ask these radical right wing religious extremists which god they are talking about. All too often, we give this provincialism - that talking about “God” must mean we have to assume they are talking about Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah - a pass. Make them spell it out.
Hey, don’t get the Muslims involved. Their god sanctions abortions (under specific circumstances, though over the years these have mostly evolved to: mother in danger, rape, child will be severely handicapped or the old, we don’t have the effing money for one more mouth to feed and may God forgive us and we won’t talk to anybody about it).
That’s why it baffled me to see Canadian Muslims support their Christian counterparts to ban abortions.
At this point, I have to say that they’ve never even read their books.
Same with Judaism. The fetus isn’t considered alive until it emerges from the woman. Until that point, it’s considered potential life and not as important as the woman’s actual life. In fact, the fetus is considered part of the woman the same way as her hip bone is part of her body.
In Judaism, getting an abortion isn’t considered murder like some Christians think it is. Then again, those Christians don’t care what other religions (or people who aren’t religious) think. They want their religious views to be the law of the land.
My comment was not about Muslims, it was aimed at xtians and the way the term “God” is provincially just meant to mean theirs. Interestingly enough, they have the same god as Muslims, since they are both Abrahamic religions. Allah = Jehovah.
If we consider them to be literary characters rather than an actual divine being, then I’m comfortable saying the God of Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all separate. They’re about as similar as Ares and Athena (both fitting into the god of war slot for the Greeks, but in different ways).
They all use the same source material as their origin story and source of “authority”, even if there have been various retcons and reboots. Shrug.
I know, sorry I worded it that way.
Obviously. Anyone who has read them knows fucking better. Pun intended.
Keep taking Ls at the polls, Christofascists.
Guys, they wanna take our freedoms.
Shocking.
You’re not giving me a good reason now to raise my children to believe in your god.
God hates democracy apparently?
Makes sense he is a dictator
No, the people that presume to speak on God’s behalf hate democracy
They need to be removed from power by any means available.
You know what the smart political thing to do here is? Shut up and go along with it. It was an off year and voters chose it in a landslide. Keep quiet, and they’ll probably consider the issue settled by 2024.
Instead, they’re going to make this an issue persisting into 2024 that drives massive turnout against them. They feel power slipping, so they tighten their hold, but that only makes it slip faster.
So does their “pro-life” stance hold any water once gun control is mentioned?
We need to start referring to it as it is. Pro-birth or Anti-woman. Continuing to use their name for it is giving them validation for an invalid stance.
Personally, I go with “forced-birth.”
they arent pro-life, they are pro-forced birth.
They don’t give a single shit about what happens to life after it exits the vagina.
It holds no water once the kid is born
That’s what water breaking is about for them
The last kind of government that claims to have a “God-given right” was a monarchy. Am I out of the loop and have missed the coronation of the King of Ohio?
Some conservatives actually like the idea of a monarchy. It’s the ultimate manifestation of ‘rich people are rich because they’re inherently better’, which is all conservatism really is about.
