They don't just sit there making rulings or whatever. They have to wait for a case to make its way up to them, a pertinent case to abortion
Making up a case to send to them should be easy. And if they don't outright ban the practice then they don't believe it's murder either.
They would probably do the correct, Constitutional thing and send the matter to the states.
So they must not believe it is murdering babies like you believe. Aren't they all Christians? You would think this is a slam dunk.
I think they are scared of women who don't think it is murder. Or they don't believe it themselves. Many Republicans are pro choice.
My disconnect with the “pro-life” message, aside from the obvious autonomy issue, is that very rarely have I seen my pro-life friends argue as passionately for children’s healthcare or universal
healthcare or refugees or against the death penalty or poverty or for
mental health advocacy or homeless advocacy or for VA reform, etc.
I know. I have some intelligent friends who claim to respect women, and in their minds, they probably think this is all about “the unborn,” but there is an undeniable theme of so-called irresponsibility and selfishness and “promiscuity” on the part of women that is framed, packaged and touted by the pro-life movement.
It isn’t just inaccurate. It isn’t just insulting and degrading. It is absolutely deadly to women. It is an attack on them and their families, folks who have to make hard choices and should never be shamed for doing so.
You claim Christ is a champion of “the unborn.” You claim God’s law supersedes that of humankind.
Putting aside for a second that 1) your religious preference shouldn’t dictate others’ choices and 2) that Christ trusted women, there is a glaring hypocrisy in this line of thinking.
Show me in your Bible where it talks about poverty when you say government shouldn’t create social safety nets.
Show me in your Bible where it talks about the Good Samaritan when you make a decision to walk past the homeless or say that
your tax dollars shouldn’t go to pay for someone else’s healthcare or claim that “illegal immigrants” should go back to their own country.
Show me in your Bible where it talks about judgement while you claim to fully understand and dictate the very personal decisions of women and families.
Show me in your Bible where it talks about turning the other cheek while you claim that “civilian collateral damage” is necessary to the security of a free state, whether it be
drone warfare or unfettered
access to firearms?
You say your heart is full of Christ’s love, but why does that only manifest itself on this particular issue and no others?
f you are willing to die on this hill top over the “unborn,” you will not convince me until you adequately address these underlying issues, until you establish a firm, consistent philosophy on the sanctity of life that addresses the above, until you can tell me, on every issue, whether the Bible or the Constitution has greater authority.
When you can do that, you will have my support, but I don’t believe it’s possible. The bounds of logic are too great a burden to bear on this matter.
Exercise empathy, live out the whole Bible, and then — and only then — can we talk about what women do with their bodies.
