The Lincoln Project has a video out that is so scary that it draws doubts about what roles various entities will play if Trump gets re-elected.The video depicts a father daughter trip that was to get the daughter an abortion and they get stopped by a police officer. The officer knows about the girl’s condition, knows what the trip map they are using indicates and is aware of the clinic destination they have in mind.
The father is charged with attempting to take his underage daughter out of state for an illegal procedure and the girl is arrested for attempting to escape motherhood. The thought that a police officer would have the personal information on these people is disturbing enough but then to proceed to the charges is even more outlandish.
A policeman should not have that sort of information and where the hell did such charges come from? This is the stuff of return to the dark ages. We know that a part of the world has already been thrown back to a time when religion was the first order and humanity was the last effort. Take a look at the middle east as that entire region has slipped back into the male ruled religious requirement of women being veiled in public.
To have faith may give some the support they feel they need to cope with the world. What text do they follow as every christian bible has a version identifier attached. That means that it was authorized by someone and that someone did the translation to further the message as they saw fit. All of the versions have some deviation from the original if you could find one.
We, as a nation, need common sense laws and common sense administrator of the laws to properly manage the country and provide the respect to our citizens, our nation, and our environment that is required. We have a populus of people that do not follow a single religion and we cannot force any religion on everyone.
The effort to rule through religion is a formula that promotes division and distrust. The domination of a faith in a region generally brings intolerance for others in the form of death. Believe as I believe or die, The current battles going on in much of Africa are over what belief will dominate.
The really sad part of all this is that every religion professes to be about love. Worse yet is the “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself” attitude and then go kill the neighbor cause they do not have the same faith. History tells us that at one time Catholics required Jews to repent and convert to have their soles saved and then killed them anyway because, well you cannot trust someone that is not true to their faith.
Again we are at the junction of minding your own business and let others do the same. You do not have all the answers, no one does and each of us needs to remember that.
