I am listening to Fugelsang arguing with christian on Steph Miller

And of course John is skewering him, the caller is trying to be open minded somewhat but the discussion reveals to me just how stupid it is to have ANY religion involved in ANY government decision whatsoever and/or healthcare, given the irrationality of most religion.

I wish all religious folks could listen to this conversation and then please admit that you cant combine religion and govt unless you want irrational and based on superstition laws to effect everyone.

Crazy...I wish you could all hear this...wow

Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23

The Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- Leviticus 27:6

Fetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16
