Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - GMDino - 02-02-2022 He seems to be saying the pregnancy is a gift from god and that is why there were raped. Unreal. https://www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/29815/gop_candidate_for_michigan_governor_urges_rape_victims_to_be_heroic_and_give_birth Quote:Kalamazoo chiropractor Garrett Soldano, a Republican political newcomer with visions of unseating Gretchen Whitmer in November, describes himself as a "family man, proud Catholic ... and the author of 'God’s True Law, a parent's guide to raising successful children.'" I'm sure if he was raped he would find it a "gift from god" also. RE: Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - Nately120 - 02-02-2022 Maybe god is using the pro life movement to get more children into the adoption system and to stable gay couples.

I'm sensing some sarcasm there. RE: Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - Au165 - 02-03-2022 Fun Fact: The bible actually talks about abortion and basically church sanctions them. Essentially if you were thought to have cheated your husband would take you to a priest and they'd perform a ceremony and if you had been unfaithful the baby would be aborted. Crazy how people who claim to be Christian and support christian values don't even know that abortions were part of their own religion.

As a Catholic and an American I can attest that people use the Bible to support a lot of stuff that either a) isn't in the Bible or b) is contradicted by the Bible. RE: Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - NATI BENGALS - 02-03-2022 As a Republican who firmly supports personal freedom we need to force these women in to having the rape babies.

That God put them in this moment. " If rapists are part of God's plan, then are we supposed to revise our view of rapists? If one truly believes, then how does one sort out punishment for people doing God's will, but violating human laws. Perhaps we should just vote in leaders we trust and let God guide them. RE: Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - CJD - 02-07-2022 I think the whole pro-life movement is pretty sickening, but the people I find most despicable are the ones who think abortion should be illegal UNLESS it is rape or incest, in which case they think abortion should be permitted. Like, talk about saying the quiet part out loud. I personally think pro-life people have never been about life, but actually care about the consequences of sex. If a woman is irresponsible, has unprotected sex and gets pregnant, being forced through painful and uncomfortable pregnancy and the excruciating pain of child birth is the "cost" of being promiscuous. This line of thinking enforces the puritanical belief that sex should only be between a man and his wife. Why else would abortion be okay unless rape or incest was the cause of said pregnancy? Is that child less of a life than a child conceived from consensual sex? Of course not. The only difference is, in the former case, the woman is "not at fault" for getting pregnant and thus, does not "deserve" the "punishment" of pregnancy. There honestly isn't any other explanation. The problem is, pro-choice people pointed this cognitive dissonance out to pro-life people, hoping they'd say "Oh my God, you're right. I am not fighting for the lives of unborn children, I am fighting for punishing women. I should stop this." Unfortunately, it seems to have had the opposite effect. Now pro-life people don't even want to allow the exception that proved their bigotry. Who knew that trying to snap someone out of a flawed belief could only push them even further into it?

I never quite thought of it in that way, but I did realize while back that the religious right fights against recognizing committed monogamous relationships between gays while simultaneously decrying the gay lifestyle as one of meaningless, disease-spreading sex and debauchery. Pretty sneaky. RE: Rep Candidate For Michigan Governor Urges Rape Victims To Be 'Heroic' & Give Birth - michaelsean - 02-07-2022 I have no problem with urging women not to have an abortion. Pro-choice right?

Pro-choice right? Agreed, but based on the quotes from this guy who is well to do, doesn't have a vagina, and is running for a position where he has made it clear he will do all he can to reduce the need to even urge women to choose life, I'd say the scoffs are warranted here. |
