The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yet, if an extremist blows up an abortion clinic, you and me are feeding the bomber champagne and strawberries in a jacuzzi somewhere.

No. The view of the fellow who put together the initial anti-abortion videos is that abortion became an issue when vangies discovered they could raise money on the issue. 120 years ago clergyman advised young ladies to get abortions. Then Xtians of sorts decided the moment of conception was when the sperm hit the egg, which they got from the evil scientists. I know scientists are evil cause Ivermectin told me so. But when someone tosses a bomb, that means that's the emotions you are generating with your campaigns for money and power (a good wedge issue for pollys).

From a pastor:
The Bible has instruction no how to perform an abortion (Numbers 5:11-31), prayers for God's female enemies to suffer miscarriages (Hosea 9:14), and God tells the Israelites to kill every child and pregnant women in a city (Joshua:6-21) [Eerily similar to a recent event?]

As for "baby-murder" the bible has SONGS 🎶 about splattering the infants of Israel's enemies against the rocks (Psalms:137-9), God himself murders David's infant son for his infidelity (2 Samuel 12:13-18), as well as countless other babies in Genesis 6-7 and Exodus 11.

Me: So the whole abortion issue is recent and there because it's a good wedge issue (power), and the vangies could raise money on it.
