There are numerous ways in which the typical anti-abortion message is hypocritical, especially when that view is based on Christian religious beliefs.
Nowhere in the Bible does it state abortion is wrong. In fact, when it comes to killing unborn fetuses, God himself is the all time champion. Not only does he demand that his followers slaughter whole tribes and “cut open the bellies of the women to stab the fetuses”, but he drowned millions of people, a large number of whom had to be pregnant women, without a care. Yes, God is and always will be, the chief abortionist.
He also gave his people instructions on how to cause a miscarriage if a husband thinks his wife cheated. Weird that these folks think it’s ok to force teenage girls to have their rapist’s babies, even if that rapist is her own father, but it’s ok to cause a miscarriage if the father is inconvenienced…
But it gets even worse than that.
If you ask any of these folks what happens to children that die in childbirth, or miscarry, or even die by accident before “the age of reason” (about 7 years old by most measures), they’ll tell you straight up that those children go straight to heaven. Or in some cases, they spend some time in purgatory first. So, obviously then, aborted fetuses would do the same. They go straight to heaven, and have no risk of being damned for eternity.
But, a woman (and her husband too) if they are willing to abort a child; would, according to these “Christians”, be the textbook definition of evil. Just being in favor of abortion makes one a bad person. So, of course, you want to force these bad people to have children they don’t want so those children can be brought up in bad households where they will almost certainly become “sinners’ themselves and end up in hell.
You are not “saving” these souls, you morons, you are damning them!
But, it gets even worse still…
You’ll often hear them state, without ever providing any proof for the claim, that “life begins at conception”.
However, that’s is not what their Holy Book claims.
According to the Bible, life begins at the first breath.
But if you want to argue that the fertilized egg is “alive”, then you would also have to admit that the sperm is “alive” and so is the unfertilized egg. Or are you claiming they are not alive?
It’s rather odd to me how the Bible seems to place all the emphasis on the sperm. It’s a terrible sin to “spill your seed upon the ground” and masturbation is a terrible sin for men because it wastes the sperm.
And yet, we have no shortage of sperm. You could kill every single man on Earth and the human race would go on just fine, there’s more than enough sperm in the sperm banks to repopulate the male half of the race.
Or you could destroy all the sperm in the sperm banks, and kill all but one man, and still, the human race would survive. That one man could impregnate hundreds of thousands, if not millions of women.
But it gets far worse than that…
No, the limiting factor here is the eggs. A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, and every time she menstruates without becoming pregnant, that’s one “life” that is being denied. That’s a potential person that you are denying a chance.
When some loud mouthed woman who has a career in politics, starts screaming about abortion, you’ve got to wonder why she’s not at home pumping out the babies. Does having one or two satisfy the needs of JD Vance and his ilk?
Seems unfair that you can disregard your potential to have 20 babies, and only have two or three, but a woman that decides to have none somehow is worthless.
So, the next time EmptyG or Lauren Bobblehead starts yelling about abortion… ask them why they don’t shut up, get back in the kitchen, make some sammies and get preggers?
I really dig your work. And, I thought I was a professional no-punch puller. I have to up my game.
Yup. Organized religion has so much backwards. I am stymied at how readily peple will fight against a woman's right to choose while also fighting against access to health care, healthy food, and a strong education. I don't ' get it. And I am powerless to make a difference except in my own life.
