Roe v. Wade to be overturned?

honest question have you considered asking a pro life woman to explain it to you

 

BECAUSE JESUS isn't a good enough answer. If these "pro-life" women really valued life, they'd act like it after the fetus was born.

 

Fair. My mom's answer would be "because the church tells me to." I imagine that's a lot of folks' answers.

I had a high school teacher who was pro-choice but against abortion personally. He said this aloud in a Catholic school. I'm surprised he wasn't excommunicated.

 

We can mock the church, I suppose, but listening to them will explain their position better than posting into the void on a male dominated left dominated message board

 

I think the Catholic Church has explained its position on abortion quite thoroughly.

 

I had a teacher in Catholic school, in a room of seventh graders, during morning prayers, said a prayer each morning that Roe vs Wade would be overturned.

We were 12.

 

I'm not mocking the church. I will mock folks who pledge blind allegiance to a religious body without doing any critical thinking. Perhaps it comes from my cafeteria Catholicism. I'm of the Clinton school on abortion (safe, legal, rare, yadda yadda). I think the abortion rate correlates to a lot of issues we have in society, namely a lack of safety net for the middle and working classes. Maybe if we supported moms more and maybe if they didn't think a pregnancy before 20 would sentence them to a life of poverty, we'd have fewer of them.

 

No you weren’t mocking the church but others seem to. If you want to understand why women would vote to “take rights away from other women” but you go in thinking its just bc the Catholic church sucks then I suggest you really don’t want to understand anyway.

The royal you not you personally

 

Where I came from, I had a HS teacher literally say "when I die I want to go to hell because THAT'S WHERE ALL THE FUN PEOPLE ARE". This young impressionable boy was stunned, yet taking notes.

 

30 years ago, in the middle of my friend’s wedding ceremony, the priest (Catholic wedding) went on a several minute rant about the “abomination of abortion.” It was bizarre and really off-putting. My friend had no idea he was going to do that and was pretty pissed.

 

Heaven for the scenery, Hell for the company.

 

I am still stunned that Atlanta doesn't have a classic Southern Rock station format.
