re: #145 Vicious Babushka
These people really, really do not believe there is any difference whatsoever between the 20 children murdered at Newtown and terminated pregnancies.
I believe you are mistaken — they really, really do not believe that 8 weeks fetuses are the same as children, they’re pretending to believe that as an excuse to assert control over women.
My evidence? You cannot name a single denomination that, when a member of the congregation suffers a miscarriage at 8 or 10 or 12 weeks, responds with a funeral. They do not have a memorial service, or a burial in consecrated ground, or any of the other ritual that normally attends the death of a human being.
