Abortions are not new, they have been around for ages,performed by midwives, usually called miscarriages or born premature, and never lived, etc. They were so common that doctors fought against midwives because they were taking some of the business that the doctors wanted. This was all before the Catholics stepped in, sensing that one less baby was one less Catholic.
Attacking ppls religion nice going … so brave of you @stevebenson, you no Muslims don’t tolerate abortion, or gays to a bigger extreme than any Christian religion… go ahead draw Mohammed and ridicule him see how you fair . You possibly dont care but you were on my reading list chopping block and now definitely of it . Vaya con Dios
LenturdDnC attacking women’s rights and bodies – nice goin’ asshole.
Keep your religion. Stop shoving it on others. In fact, shove it very high and very tight up you rear and then cement it shut so it can’t get out and harm anyone else.
Apparently the Annunciation is quite forgotten. Mary consented, so she would have never aborted! Furthermore, abortions like any other operation then was dangerous.
Jesus had brown skin, black hair, brown eyes. He listened to his mother and respected her wishes over his own. He respected all women, no matter their religion or lot in life.
Other than that, damn straight!
And good on y’all! One of the better ones. Nice to see there’s something we can agree on.
Now, how ‘bout one of Jesus going full tilt whip and over turned tables on the theocratic, money grubbing preachers of today please? I’d be obliged. Thank y’ all.
Steve Benson…let’s hear from you. What ARE you trying to say? That Mary got an abortion so JC would be the only Begotten? Really? Then how did his siblings get Begotted? The whole Holy Ghost thing is so improbable…fine with me if JC were just an ordinarily conceived, extraordinary human with a great message. Let’s pay attention to the message, not the myth.
“Oh, Joseph, I missed my period. I’m afraid I’ll start to show, and my parents will figure out we’ve been getting jiggy.”
“Don’t worry, Mary. I’ve had a chance to get to know them, and they’re completely gullible. Just use the same line on them that Danae, Leda, Devaki, Maya, Semele, Dughdova, Ahmose, and all the rest of those chicks did who said it was a god who porked them. Now, c’mere sweet lips, and pucker up.”
If anyone is interested in a very good book that not only contains sacrilegious commentary (“Jesus is a fink”) but other religious “revelations” from an odd POV, read Heinlein’s “Job: A Comedy of Justice”.
Mr Benson…do you really think that any woman, Ever, felt Proud after making the frightening and difficult decision to have an abortion, so she shouted it to the rooftops? This demonstration of utter Ignorance is one of … oh so many … reasons why men should not have control over Women’s bits, Ever.

Wow. Sacrilege much, Steve? Though I’ve always wondered about Jesus’s siblings. He really NEEDED an older sister to keep him pointed forward, eh?

Somewhat like those that reckon J was too socialist and use cherry-picked selections from the old testament to define “christianity” instead?

I read it the same way as you did. I just couldn’t think that was really the point. Doesn’t make much sense.

AGAIN: The Christaliban says “OUR Theocratic Sharia law is FINE, it’s just THEIR Theocratic Sharia Law that’s EVIL!!!”
And they really believe it, too.

Not sure what the point is here. I think, according to the Bible, Jesus had mortal siblings.

That’s the irony, Jesus thought so much about abortion, he never, ever mentioned it. Even Jesus knew when to mind his own business.

Who can afford having a kid in Bethlehem these days? If you had to have a baby in a gosh darned stable, you’d be leery about doing it again.
I blame Herod for blocking Medicaid expansion.
