Mexico Decriminalizes Abortion


An earlier Mexican Supreme court ruling decriminalized abortion in one state bordering Texas. Now it has been decriminalized across the entire country. Country by county, Latin America is legalizing abortion.

Men with tiny brains, anti-abortion opportunists, have been saying for decades the public does not like abortion and they would ban it across the entire U.S. and eventually across the world. It's amusing to see exactly the opposite happen. It seems inevitable eventually abortion will be more easily obtained than it was during the Roe period. When common sense was passed out these anti-abortion men were out of town.

How could any rational person believe taking away rights of women would be successful? As abortion rights wins elections here in the U.S., courts are advancing women's rights in Mexico. As religious leaders shout louder and louder their influence is smaller and smaller. I can imagine Bishops across Mexico will be holding news conferences telling us abortion is sin. It has been said in comments on this blog that "God hates abortion." God seems to think it is OK in Mexio. In right-to-life Texas God is telling women to go to Mexico for their abortions.

When one lives her life with the belief there are gods floating around and after she is stone-cold dead she will be alive somewhere else, perhaps it is easy to believe politics that are pure fantasy. For example, it was possible to believe that if a future Supreme Court overturned Roe states would one by one outlaw abortion. That is as likely to be true as the existence of the floating god. Belief in the floating god damaged the part of the brain that determines reality. 

Christian churches would benefit by being more truthful. For one thing each denomination could admit it might be wrong and others right. There is no source of ultimate truth about issues discussed in the Bible.

So too could anti-abortion zealots be more truthful. They could admit no one has ever proved that one fertilized human egg cell is a human being. They could admit the different DNA of a fetus does not make it an independent human being. It is still part of the mother.

A toast to Mexico for entering the modern secular world.

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
