OK, replace the word ‘religious’ with ‘individual’.

Clearly, we’re talking at sufficiently cross purposes here that we’re not going to reach any kind of common ground on which to communicate.

You think parents have the right to let their children suffer and die needlessly for any reason?

And, yes, it is the right of parents to make decisions for their family - so long as they are fulfilling their obligation of making decisions that do not harm or restrict the rights of their family.

I guess you’re so busy patting yourself on the back for being progressive that you don’t bother to read comments before replying to them.

You’re putting that journalism degree to good use.

Who the fuck is Effie Brown, and why does Matt Damon give two shits what she thinks?

His bodily autonomy under the law trumps your religious beliefs every day of the week.

Like most of the progressive hive you seem to make wild, inaccurate assumptions about people who disagree with you.

Wow, you’re really stupid.

A newborn baby has no religion

But this isn’t about making your own decisions

I defend freedom to make one’s own decisions.

Like, at Thanksgiving, mom sat around talking about back alley abortions?

I’ll keep sending money to PP.

At least you’re responding like an adult and choosing not to watch.

And exceptions are irrelevant because RACISTS!

The Coen brothers made an active choice from the outset to tell a white story, featuring only white characters, and employing only white actors in the dozen main roles. That isn’t just happenstance, it’s the narrative they chose to craft and they way they chose to craft it.

How about defending it on the basis that the fact that it’s an all-white cast isn’t actually anything somebody should be shitting their pants about?

What does this have to do with racism?
