    Doesn’t really matter because the supermajority of Americans think abortion should be legal anyway. It’s a small minority of the population that we have allowed to dictate domestic policy for their religious agenda.

      It’s not even religious. Their religion says all kinds of really important shit that they completely ignore. They just pick this one specific issue because they hate women and it’s a lot easier to say “Uhhhh it’s because of my religion, you’re discriminating against me!” than it is to say “I hate women and want them to suffer”.

        Their motivations are still religious. Scripture and belief/practice often do not coincide or outright contradict each other.

        Oh come now. They don’t hate women, they just want to punish women for having sex outside of marriage because it’s against…their… religion…

        …hm.

          Also not in the religion, they’re specifically instructed that they’re not to make judgements or enact any punishments on the behalf of god, which this is.

        It’s religious leaders saying this stuff. It isn’t in scripture. Not Christian scripture, at any rate.
