Is that a quotation of someone?
Thanks. Not a quotation.
For real, I'm going to add that to my lexicon.
Elegant in its simplicity. Other than the slut-shaming and anti-science stuff that gives me the rare but powerful urge to choke out the imbeciles who say those kinds of things, my third-biggest peeve is the "why do atheists have to insult our faaaaaaith" line of thought. I wish I had thought of that expression years ago.

It's all best dealt with on a case-by-case basis and between a woman and her doctor. Not some republicunt sleazebag inspired by an old book of bullshit.
Well I'd have phrased it a bit more mildly, but then again that's the Min we've all come to know and love.
But as I brought up earlier, when I read the Bible, it seems to me to be supportive of abortion in Numbers chapter 5, at least when dealing with an unfaithful wife. And I see nothing in there that specifically suggests otherwise. So I've never figured out why they got onto this whole issue of claiming abortion is a Christian issue. It's not a valuing of parenthood, or else we'd see more legal protections for working mothers, poor mothers, etc, as I discussed above. It's not a universal valuing of life, or we wouldn't have the death penalty in this country. And as I say it's not actually in the Bible itself, but inferred... and from where, I can't even figure out!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
