Elsewhere, I am masterfully trolling some Trump lovers, and I've noticed something.

The past few days, all they have been talking about is the abortion issue. That's it. There has been a single minded emphasis on this.

I'm guessing this is because that is all they have left.

That is all I am seeing from these people on the few sites I look at. It's like they all got together and decided what to concentrate on.

So strange.

Whenever I see the "hive mind" kick in like this, I know it's because the talking points have come down from on high. They're drones incapable of thinking on their own, so I'm guessing the talking heads on whichever scream medium they consume (Faux News, Hate Radio, etc.) have been harping on this lately. I can always tell what the "subject of the day" on hate media is, because their followers will always faithfully show up on social media parroting their talking points.

That's their go-to issue to change the subject when they're cornered with the truth.

After all the wars they've started, all the oppression they've inflicted, all the environmental damage they've done, all the loss of life and economic inequality they're responsible for, it's the one area where they feel they can still claim the moral high ground because they "respect the sanctity of life." They use it whenever they're cornered on all the massive amount of other shit they do.

what they’re doing to support access to contraceptives.

You’ll hear crickets, as well.

Or else they’ll give you that line,

“Condoms are cheap!”

When they hijacked the Jewish religion for their own use. Jesus was never a Christian. Christianity rose to power only because it was a means to control the people.

As for abortion. It appears that the Hebrew Bible did not ban or object to abortion. In fact, it was okay to kill a pregnant woman that was sentenced to death.

I wonder why the hell should Christians be interpreting the OT that is based on the Hebrew Bible? Many Rabbis have already provided their own interpretations and lived thru the period. And it is their Bible that Christians are trying to interpret.
