Apparently Pro-Life has its limits

[marc]

George Carlin had it right about some of these Pro-Life conservatives. "If you're preborn you're fine. If you're preschool you're fucked"

Take for example Idaho Rep. Christy Perry. She is proudly 'pro-life', but is also fighting for the rights of parents to deny their children healthcare on religious grounds.

Republican lawmaker: It’s OK for children to die in the name of God

So if you want an abortion, and can't get it, don't worry. You can just have the kid, and let them die of any horrible illness you like if you say it is against your religion. Maybe take them to one of those measles parties.

“Is it really because these children are dying more so than other children, or is this really about an attack on a religion you don’t agree with?” Perry told Aljazeera.

Yes, it's really about children dying FOR PREVENTABLE REASONS more so than other children.
The effort to save children from these people would be the same if they had economic motivations, or somehow thought natural selection was the supreme motivator or if they were sure aliens would come and heal the worthy.

Any God that wants children to die for him isn't worth worshipping. More like despising.

State legislatures are full of assorted nuts, on both sides of the aisle^*. What else is new?

^* Although admittedly, in Idaho there's going to be much more on one side than the other.

They die because god found their parents' lack of faith disturbing. Yes, even though they denied their child medical care for religious reasons, their faith obviously wasn't great or pure enough, or otherwise it would have worked.

To a Christian therapist suicide happens not because of a lack of treatment but because of a lack of God.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

How many of these people are against suicide?

 

[ideologyhunter]

I've read the Bible. God likes killing kids. Either that or he just can't stop himself (OMG -- can god stop himself or is he incapable of stopping himself? Now I'm a-scared.)

Unfortunately, way too many of them. If that weren't the case, the problem could just solve itself.

Remember Elisha summoned she-bears to kill kids for calling him bald.

No justice like angry God justice

But they are allowing people to die without treatment, which is akin to suicide. I understand that they don't see the irony, but it is still ironic... don't you think? Of course, if Morrisette is a model for the typical Canadian, you'll find just about anything ironic.

 

[Keith&Co.]

But they are allowing people to die without treatment, which is akin to suicide.

Not if you say the magic words.
I mean, if you say 'i don't care if i live or die,' and flip a coin, killing yourself on Tails, that's sad.
If you pray for magical healing and proclaim you've put your trust in God's Will, it's not suicide.

Politics by footnote...

And why would anybody doubt God's wisdom killing kids...they are weak and uneducated and today, the law doesn't even allow them to work...just the kind of human trash to get rid of...eh? Those low skill jobs kids used to fill...replaced by automation. It is easy to have these thoughts about kids especially if they're not YOUR KIDS. Another benefit in getting them early...if he kills them now, he won't have to forgive their sins when they become adults....

It's not about being pro-life. It's about making sex dangerous. Their positions make much more sense when you realize this.
