ROE v. WADE: An evangelical ruling

| July 13, 2022 1:00 AM

Isn’t it special how the Supreme Court changed the paradigm from don’t tread on me to ban everything an evangelical might find uncomfortable. Whoa to them whose naughty parts might tingle…

I heard a preacher named Bishop tell his flock that his jealous God has commanded them to dismantle all LGBTQ rights because they don’t love him enough. I knew right then this isn’t going to be a decade of safer schools.

I cringe when “life begins at conception” is used to explain the ban on abortion… No more forgiveness for the rape victim contemplating ramming a coat hanger in her cervix. IMO Life begins before conception and I’m not going to do the chicken before the egg debate with someone shouting “non-believer.” Biblical fearmongering is as old and unbecoming as genital mutilation.

So, I refuse to take stock in evangelical rulings. Excommunication can be worn like a badge of honor if you ask me.

Soon necessary termination of a pregnancy will be about as bad as cops harassing the “tourist unfriendlies.” If you don’t get the joke you just might be a redneck and you should probably buy a chastity belt…

Hopefully this “moral majority” can pick a candidate soon… Normally the jealous God has chosen one by now!
