Upcoming Presidential Election: A National Referendum on Abortion Rights


Why would a voter mark "Trump" on the next Presidential ballot? Some would never vote for a Democrat ever. They might say, "It's Biden. He's so terrible." To this kind of voter it is not Biden, he/she would never vote for  a Democrat. Another never-a-Democrat might say, "It's the national debt. Biden and Dems in DC are spending into the poorhouse." Another of this group would say, "Trump gave us a tax cut and the economy was better..." Different reasons are given to sound rational and thoughtful, but it is really neither. Are there Democrats who do the same thing? Yes.

The consistent party votes fall about 40% in each direction. The other 20% move their votes from one party to the other. These split at nearly 10% for each party election after election. We all know Electoral College votes are the one's actually cast. It's not easy to lose the majority but win the Electoral College but it can and does happen when the national majority is slim.

Those who earn their livelihoods in the Forced Birth industry will, of course, be at the political forefront trying to influence gullible voters. Those making a living from Forced Birth donors find money flows from advocating bans on abortion, not from subsidizing pregnant women. To most Forced Birth voters subsidizing pregnant women is rewarding them for the sin of sex. It is advocating bans that has given abortion rights groups the money and political support to win the next Presidential election. 

There is an alternative Forced-Birth lane that would win. It is rewarding the very sinful women conservatives want to punish. This is to provide funds to pay bills and free college for the sinners. This position would not only change minds of some women about their abortions but would stop the flow of Republican and independent votes from slipping away to Democrats. Winning elections for Republicans is not as important, however, as punishing sin. Much of the Forced Birth constituency would feel guilty helping sinful women cope with their circumstances. 

Abortion will be discussed more in the upcoming election cycle than ever before. The election will turn to the Republican or to the Democrat on this issue. I for one am looking forward to this election.

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
