Abortion: A Punish-the-Woman Man Elected in Oklahoma


The term "abortion abolitionist" is not widely used. It will be better known, I think, in time. A Republican who calls himself and abortion abolitionist has just been elected to the U. S. House.

An abortion abolitionist believes totally abortion is murder. This being the case, everyone involved in the murder must be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced accordingly. The woman is most responsible for the abortion, so she is first in line for arrest and conviction for murder. 

I discussed the prosecution of women and conviction for murder a lot here a few years ago. It is simply the logical outcome of the strange notion killing a fetus is murder. It cannot be murder unless the woman who made the decision to kill is sentenced to prison or even death herself. The forced birth establishment at that time scoffed at what I wrote saying the traditional "pro-life" view was the woman was not responsible. All blame was on the abortion clinic. This establishment's way of handling blame was to avoid the political consequences of facing the truth. The truth is women, not clinics, decide to have abortions.

Abortion abolitionists have been emerging since the repeal of Roe. Even Trump had to admit women needed some of the blame for their abortions. The old establishment technique of hiding the responsibility of women for abortion under a barrel is no longer available. I looked at the site, "Priests for Life" which is led by the shady defrocked priest, Frank Pavone. I could find no mention of punishment, or no punishment, of women. Pavone is trying to ride the fence on this issue. I could see him being left behind as the declining size of forced birth supporters circles the wagons and becomes more strident. Pavone may be seen as too liberal because he fails to advocate punishment of the guilty, women.

In a piece that appeared recently, a woman who is a politician wrote, "The goal of the pro-life movement is to save the lives of as many babies as possible. The more we move the allowable abortion date back the more lives we save." She was referring, of course, to moving the allowable date from say 20 weeks to 12 weeks, etc. This woman, however, is not part of the abortion abolitionist group. This latter group has no interest whatsoever in 12, 15 or 20 weeks. To them, all of those dates allow murder. No abortions ever is the only "logical" law.

The finger pointing and fist shaking between factions of forced birth are underway. Let the fun begin.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

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
