I really think that we need to tell Congress and all state legislatures that they are not allowed to pass any laws restricting what kind of medical procedures anyone can have, or else they'll be prescribed mandatory 24-hour enemas.
I assume those idiots will allow abortion for ectopic pregnancies but sometimes I wonder if lawmakers could get this foolish. I remember in college someone complaining about aborting ectopic pregnancies. They didn't think it was good enough reason to abort a fetus. I wanted to throttle them but I was able to explain to them that the baby could not possibly survive in the fallopian tube. To which they argued with me on that point. They had little concern for the mother, it was all about the baby.
Yes I know that this is an extreme example (as well as anecdotal evidence) but it bothers me when extreme people like this get elected.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
