re: "Trump’s Supreme Court Pick May Need to Denounce Roe. Good." (The New York Times, September 21, 2020)
Aah yes. The ineffable joy of supernatural beliefs infecting society.
That American moral growth continues to be stunted by this obsession with abortion, which fixation is founded solely on the alleged dictates of perfectly incredible gods from the Middle East, is as absurd as the Catholic popes imprisoning and executing for heresy those who dared dispute the allegedly divine dictate that the Earth is the centre of the universe about which all orbs, including the sun, revolve. Worse, when the Christians beholden to the alleged demands of their Middle Eastern masters opposed heliocentrism and evolution, another scientific fact allegedly contradicting the teachings of the same Middle Eastern gods, at least they could be excused on the grounds of sincere ignorance and having been educated to reject reason in favour of dogmatic faith, however despotic. US law might as rationally dictate that all homes have a chimney because Santa Claus allegedly demands such access as a condition of being a good boy of girl.
Those old excuses will not do. It is time for the US to move forward by embracing the best that Western civilization has to offer: reason, respect for honesty, fact seeking, and the solid grounding that reason, facts and honesty provide to justice and moral values.
