But I'm just. Do not bring your fucking religion into my government
Hyatt
"but if we don't have religion guiding government, then we'll have immorality!"
That Black Cat
fuck that shit
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I just. I’m so tired. Of these 18th century arguments
Hyatt
more recent than that. abortion wasn't an evangelical Protestant bugbear until after Roe v. Wade. it's a manufactured wedge issue

Also, we already have immorality 8|a
That Black Cat
Penn Jillette has a great quote on morality w/o religion:
That Black Cat
"The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what's to stop me from raping all I want? My answer is this: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. ...
That Black Cat
The fact that these people think that if they didn't have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine."
Hyatt
"well we wouldn't have immorality if we based our laws and government entirely and solely on Jesus and God!"
That Black Cat
considering how much people supposedly are devout, I strongly doubt that.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Fun fact, most of the immorality comes from the super religious

Scandalous, I know
zoki.
only evangelical christianity gets to rule the government...judaism and islam both allow for abortion in specific circumstances, and there is nothing anti-abortion in the bible. the evangelicals joined the catholics on this crusade when they couldn't use continuing segregation anymore
That Black Cat
yuuuup
That Black Cat
100% they're going after gay marriage next
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Yeah, I know
That Black Cat
right after they're done with birth control and IUDs
zoki.
(ex-catholic here...and even Ireland, famously Catholic and outlawed abortion longer than most other countries, finally allowed it when the case of a woman dying from sepsis made waves)
That Black Cat
was it last year or the year before that that one case of miscarriage leading to sepsis went big?
That Black Cat
I remember hearing about that and being fucking livid about it. I'm glad people seemed to think the same
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I’m gonna really hard when they go after the LGBTQIA+
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I already feel like crying. This is just so backwards
zoki.
I understand. I'm terrified :< they played the long game to get the radical right supreme court
zoki.
I'm working on a plan to escape to a state that has protections in its constitution, but even that'll only help until a federal ban is passed
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I really hope it doesn’t come to that
