Not sure, from what I've seen they could probably argue semantics they didn't exactly say it couldn't be changed, some were worse than others tho for sure I saw a few quotes yesterday

They will always argue semantics, but if I can find it again someone had a good case for it.

We couldn't even GRANDFATHER appointments already scheduled before this archaic shit? Third world country

I just love - that I have been inside a Catholic church at least a hundred times with various elder family members and just as child - and a priest has not once ever - taught anything about homosexuality.

and yet a lot of "fake christian" refer to an obscure text in the Old Testament as proof of something - and yet don't practise Kosher. - and the food laws are also in Leviticus. Which makes it even more hilarious

Picking and choosing at its worst

Can't tell you how many times i have heard "Kosher is only a Jewish thing that they follow"

"oh that's old testament who cares" very popular saying among protestants in East Texas when confronted with something in the Bible they don't follow lol

I would like to see our state laws updated a bit on it. But that is what happens when the Supreme Court tries to legislate rather than leave it to the legislators.

If you are wondering, this is the W.V. law made in 1848.

West Virginia's primary abortion statute is a holdover from a Virginia law passed in 1848.[15] The statute reads:

Any person who shall administer to, or cause to be taken by, a woman, any drug or other thing, or use any means, with intent to destroy her unborn child, or to produce abortion or miscarriage, and shall thereby destroy such child, or produce such abortion or miscarriage, shall be guilty of a felony, and, upon conviction, shall be confined in the penitentiary not less than three nor more than ten years; and if such woman die by reason of such abortion performed upon her, such person shall be guilty of murder. No person, by reason of any act mentioned in this section, shall be punishable where such act is done in good faith, with the intention of saving the life of such woman or child.
— West Virginia Code, § 61-2-8[16]

It is a complicated issue that a lot of people don't really try to understand. And a lot of people do just use the whole 'old testament doesn't count' statement to blow it off.

There is a much more in depth analysis and explanation if you care to research it though.

I don't, at all, if I'm being perfectly honest. Grew up in it, pentecostal pitcher grandfather and I don't care to regress

*preacher not pitcher sadly

 

[Chris]

I'm not a Christian and Christian beliefs shouldn't be relevant when talking US politics bc they don't decide law

If you ain't Kosher - you're a sinner, if you are literalist.

This is scary times we live in and it'll be scarier for years to come after the Roe v. Wade was overturned. Like the rest of you, sans Dak, I'm not happy that they actually did it and what the Supreme Court may do next. Those assholes want to take women's rights away because of religion, fuck that. Eat shit and die.
