The "International Conpiracy" to Provide Abortion Rights


Not only is there a long experience in the U.S. of obtaining abortions when they are not legal, it is common all over the world. There is a well-funded organization in Europe with branches all over the globe providing both above and underground abortion meds. It is sad to think the U.S. might become one of those backwards countries where such organizations need to set up shop but it could happen. 

Polls show the majority in Europe has put Christianity in its rear view mirror. This makes it easier to also put in the past Christian-based views on things such as abortion and gender. Hopefully the U.S. can make progress in catching up to Europe in these progressive issues and Europe can help move the needle just a bit in the U.S.  

One can be thankful for the international positive help from our neighboring nations of Canada and the U.S. Canada poured millions of gallons of beer and spirits into the U.S. during prohibition which no doubt make our laws seems as ridiculous as they were. There is at least the potential for our neighbors to send in lots of medical abortion pills and accommodate patients who travel there. 

We can be thankful for various ways in which international communication and travel has allowed U.S. citizens to navigate around this country's whacko preoccupation with religion. I've read that the country of Thailand has developed a large practice of gender change surgery and provides luxury accommodations for such patients. I doesn't seem logical patients must travel to the other side of the globe for quality and reasonably price medical services but that is today's reality. Travel will be required for abortions as well. 

Those of us who cannot personally change laws or change peculiar religious beliefs can help by providing money. I just received a mailing for a nation-wide fund drive to pay for abortions. My check went immediately into the mail. I hope others can do the same.

    nothing new here. the usual Lingren palaver. better be a tad careful about Europe, however. as far as I know they, unlike the US, don't have abortion up to birth (or beyond). consider Russia, which after losing a million citizens in the past several years alone, is trying to reduce the incidence of abortion. or Hungary. I could pontificate further but, for now, will leave it to you to do a little research. good thing to do before you sound off. in the meantime, I must wonder about the howling pro-abortion zealots in the US who want to maximize the number of abortions. no limits here sister.

      "..who want to maximize the number of abortions."

      It's fun to see Onion doing sarcastic parody of backwater anti abortion states like Missouri.

      tsm "kinda off the wall." Off the wall is the religious belief one fertilized cell has more rights than the woman--even though the cell is part of her body. That is off the wall.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
