re: "Republicans Are Giving Abortion Opponents Power Over the Rest of Us" (The New York Times, September 1, 2021)
There is no reason to doubt that the faith-based who vehemently oppose the right of their fellow citizens to freely choose to abort an embryo that is as certainly a human being as it is certainly not a human person are sincere in their faith.
But faith has ever been a powerful generator of false claims about the world be live in, in which our planet is not in fact the centre of the universe revolving around it. No more is it the case that we humans are not merely one more twig on the evolutionary tree, related to every other living thing on the planet, from cats to carrots and bacteria.
As usual, the faith-based and their religions hawking baseless claims create hell on Earth, in this case the state of Texas, as they lead the charge against reason and reality in a principled rejection of decent, human morals.
