Despite whatever bible verse they want to quote, a fetus is not a person. The bible belt is a cancer. People are too selfish, scared, and stubborn to get educated.

Numbers 5:11-30 literally gives a ritual to induce an abortion. Bible sanctioned abortion. *If the wife has been unfaithful... So of course, it's about controlling women, not supporting them .. but still, it's a fun verse to spit back at the "Christians" that don't ever read their own book.

But then they claim it makes sense in context, or the old covenant is different from the new covenant, or some other cherry-picking bullshit. It is necessary to cherry-pick the bible because it so frequently contradicts itself.

We really shouldn't tolerate baseless claims at all, people are dying needlessly for it. When people are given permission to falsely represent the reality we share, there is no limit to where their delusions might take them.

Hard agree. Modern policy shouldn't be influenced by cave people from three thousand years ago who had no understanding of medical science. And any ethical or moral arguments should be based in both sound logic and up to date knowledge of the subjects under discussion.

We've reached a point where technology is enabling a totalitarian government that never would have been possible before. Without some serious regulations, which seems unlikely in this environment, this doesn't seem like it will end well.
