One thing about us humans is that we often want to talk.

Or for some of us, write.

Talking about these issues can help, but we really need leaders willing to step out in public and talk about how religious superstitions run into conflict with modern thought, and that our governance will be better when we try to make the most-informed decisions possible. And that means on occasion that our decisions will run counter religious dogma.

If only more elected leaders would be willing to open up about these issues.

The whole desire to destroy the likes of Planned Parenthood and other organizations that are similar is based on fundamentalist religion. Not on economic theory, not on theory of government. It’s all about religious belief that humans are magical beings, even when only a single cell.
