Obviously, people can read all kinds of things into the Bible if they wish.

Abortion and birth control are ancient. Birth control, abortion, and infanticide took place in ancient societies. You don't have to be a Bible scholar or even much of a historian to know this.

Causing a miscarriage is not the same thing as the Bible prohibiting a woman from obtaining an abortion.

Really? Where? As far as I can tell, there is no prohibition against abortion in the Bible.

Let's see, now. One of the news stories, which includes pictures, also has this little tidbit:

You had neither a gun rights nor a "stand your ground death match" mentality at work here.

"Hang onto your plates. It's going to be a bumpy rinse cycle."

I guess I would like to read the original analyses and interviews related to this gruesome story to figure out how any scientist could come up with an "evolutionary" connection to the supposed differences between male and female serial killers.

"because an eye for an eye."

Thanks for this. I was recently reading about Isabella of Spain, and never knew that she had a powerful Muslim counterpart and near-contemporary.

I don't see Ted Cruz as a firebrand. I see him as the reincarnation of the hebephrenic nightmare that was Joe McCarthy.

ah, but was there fire in the Garden of Eden, and did Adam and Eve smoke herb?
