Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The whole point was to punish sexually promiscuous women.
Every life is sacred is just the spin.
Every unborn life is sacred. Every actual born human can go fuck themselves.
So then where does all this whinging about IVF enter into it? How dare you get pregnant by... not... having... sex?
I realize my problem here is that I'm attempting to apply logic where none actually exists. But come on.
Not to mention: that's punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They're probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.
There isn't any logic. The cruelty is the point.
The unborn are innocent, after which they're tainted with original sin. It makes sense in the dumbest way possible.
This is really a Catholic interpretation and those in TX are certainly in the Evangelical camp. They don't really think in terms of original sin.
They do, but they also think that loudly affirming your love for Jesus and then living according to their rules solves it. So it doesn't come up until you refuse them.
Catholics think living a generally good life is enough and that there's forgiveness for most things as long as you remain active in the church, go to confession, and do your penance.
In my experience, there's generally little difference between an Evangelical and a Sovereign Citizen. They both speak certain magic words that means they don't have to face any consequences; they believe that they have all of the rights of doing so but none of the responsibilities.
Not even promiscuous, really. Any woman who wants to have sex and also wants to avoid pregnancy is on their shit list. Doesn't matter if she's with one person for 20 years. Could even be married. Get an abortion, go to jail, oh wait no, the friggin electric chair.
