Trying to defund Planned Parenthood, mostly. :(

That’s more or less it. In many cases a pregnant single woman would be sent to a Magdalene home, and when she gave birth her child would be sent to a nearby orphanage. Both would remain wards of the church and perform unpaid labour in laundries and other manual jobs instead of receiving an education. They would not be…

They “buried” them in a sewer. And while infant/child mortality were high in Ireland at the time, they were much higher at this “home.”

Shit like this is why I get pretty mad at people praising the “good pope”. Ain’t no such thing as a “good” pope. I’ve met plenty of good Catholics who were good people, but they’re good people despite it, not because of it. The church needs an overhaul for the 21st century. They only stopped doing stuff like this…

It’s well past time all nations around the World start raising up to their claims about being “civilized” and treating religious entities - any of them, not only the Catholic Church - as any other instituition, without privileges or special treatment. Imagine any other instituition other than one related to the church…

No, sex is the real sin, because it makes you happy and it’s free.

But please remember that abortion is the true sin.

lol the ironic part is that kids who are taught this stuff are going to have a much, much harder time in college classes (imagine trying to be a geology major after spending 12 years thinking the Earth was only 6000 years old), if they even make it in.

I went to an ACE elementary school, it is barely education. Dinosaurs and man, morality in math, earth is 6000 years old... all the old favorites.

What about the lives of women who don’t want to be pregnant? It’s fine for him to be personally against abortion, but anyone who supports making abortion illegal cannot claim to call themselves pro-life— because if safe, legal abortion is outlawed, women will die.

This is heartbreaking. That poor girl.

It’s the same fucking judge?!

WOW.

This is not very small town though. Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia. But yeah, nothing really surprises anymore. :(

I’ll still argue that a drunk person can give consent. But at any point where a person loses consciousness, consent is instantly revoked. I don’t care if they are sober and fell asleep, Narcoleptic or so drunk they pass out, once unconscious, consent stops.

There’s a big ass gray area between sober and too drunk to…

I’d give anything, everything. to have a romantic partner who feels that way about me. I’ve never made it past three dates, so the idea that one person could see me and *KNOW* she wants to marry me, it just beyond conception.

I think I have a photo of him being arrested

Ha! He’s finally in the position to do every racist, reactionary thing he’s ever dreamed of and you think the cotton plantation come to life named Jeff Sessions will ever willingly resign?

Jerry is so much better for her.
