It certainly does.

Look up lie detectors.

1. Why was this case given so much attention in the first place?

No problem.

If a fetus had a working nervous system at 10 weeks gestation, then would you still consider an abortion murder, even though there is not a cat's chance in hell of viability outside the womb?

*"(ignoring any extenuating circumstances)" - you have to read more carefully. The Texas Senate Bill 5 permits abortions after 20 weeks in these circumstances.

I agree with the premise of one part of this bill, which is that once the nervous system of a fetus is sufficiently developed to allow him or her to be conscious (and to feel pain), performing an abortion on such a fetus would be very similar to murder (ignoring any extenuating circumstances) and therefore should be…

Yep.

The term has its origins in naval warfare in the practice of deceiving an enemy by using a false flag, and was a common military tactic (not just in naval warfare in fact). There have also been a number of confirmed major false flag operations (either planned or actually carried out) - more on this here:

People should wear what they want to wear, and that includes the abaya, the hijab, the niqab, and the burqa. However, the pressure in Islam to wear a veil, to see it as something positive and something to strive towards, especially when it has sexist and misogynistic origins, is what I find despicable and abhorrent.

I tried to find some video where practicing muslim women express their reasons for wearing the hijab and it pretty much confirmed all my suspicions. It is all based on sexism, the sexist verses of the Qur'an, the belief that by wearing the hijab your are closer to Allah or are a better muslim, and seeing modesty as…

I hope you can at least agree with me on this point:

Veiling has been around for millennia, so it would be a wonder if it wasn't still around in many parts of the world, in different societies and religions. But nowhere is it so prevalent, across the entire spectrum of race, culture, nationality, and age as it is in Islam. (btw a hijab has a very specific look, it's…

The freedom to dress as you wish entails the freedom to choose what to and what not to wear. The veil is a social/religious dress code, and dress codes, by definition, did not give you that freedom. Of course muslim women have a plethora of reasons for wearing a veil, and it varies from woman to woman. I don't deny…
