I thought maybe at 9 months a bell would ding and a skeleton would pop out . . . .

Rotting would cause sepsis to the unfortunate victim of Rethuglican anti-abortionism.

Such sepsis, if left to progress by not removing the fetal corpse, would kill the victim.

Iowa Republican wants to force women to carry dead fetuses to term

An Iowa state representative has caused a furor online by asserting that women who miscarry after 20 weeks of pregnancy should have to carry their fetuses to term.

So she wants Iowa to be like Ireland then, where the official legal position is "just because a foetus has a fatal foetal abnormality, it doesn't mean it will die".

Conclusive proof that the bible doesn't make people more moral.

How long until it occurs to them to take the hungry idle to Texas to build their wall in exchange for food instead of wages ?

I'm just wondering why they would compromise their values if they are actually Christians.

We need an Atheist party.

Since atheism doesn't have a core of shared values, aside from reason and skepticism, I have no idea what such a party would be.  There are atheists who span the political spectrum.  In any case, an atheist party is a non-starter and would be less welcome than a New Kids on the Block reunion tour.  

However, your earlier question about why liberal Christians aren't as aggressive in pushing their agenda as conservative Christians is a good one.  I don't know the answer.  Perhaps they aren't as motivated because they don't self-generate the constant state of crisis  and sense of persecution that their conservative counterparts do.

Rather than waste time and resources tilting at windmills -- as an atheist party would be -- I suggest that we secular folk (the liberals and progressives among us in this case) be more aggressive in lining up with more liberal religious people who may share our long term goals.  After all, the civil rights movement was composed of a variety of people, from Christians to liberals to communists.  

As a matter of intellectual integrity, I oppose Christianity across the board.  However, as a matter of practical politics and expediency, I am prepared to do what is necessary to advance important interests.  And if, along the way, common cause between secular people and more liberal religionists can be used to drive a fatal wedge between the conservative and liberal wings of Christianity, Islam, etc. so much the better.

Indeed we should never become a political entity .It's bad enough there are atheist churches last thing we need is to both become a political religious movement.

These assholes won't even give war veterans  and Hungary kids  in school a free lunch. I cringe at how they would treat the wall laborers.

Yup apparently according to the pro "life" crowd even a dead fetus has more rights then a woman

Atheism doesn't really have any shared values, so that wouldn't work at all. There are atheists who span the political spectrum, as others have already pointed out. I think atheist/humanist/secularist organisations are important but trying to turn it into a political movement is just stupid.

I agree now. The post you quoted was 3 years old.

Sorry, I obviously didn't realise that at the time.

Probably sleep deprived, as usual, or something.
