The abortion debate in this country has gotten to absolutely ridiculous and disgusting levels. I am honestly ashamed of the fact that in Ohio they are trying to push through the heartbeat bill and even having a fetus testify in court. It is enraging. It is almost entirely religiously motivated, yet I’m told as an Atheist I should just live and let live…fucking hypocrisy.

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”
- Thomas Jefferson, from his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association.
I’m all for letting the fetus testify, immediately after it produces proper identification, states its name for the court, and takes the oath.
A law that would mandate religious counseling. A law. That would mandate uterus owners to submit to some condescending biased bullshit from a person who is not a doctor or other health professional but just wants OMG BABIEZ to be alive or whatever. This is disgusting and an abomination of Church & State.
This is just ridiculous. o.O
Absolutely absurd! What would the point of this even be?
