Did they go to Medical School? Why would any State allow the collective ignorance of a few people decide these life and death issue?

(1,962 posts)Whether it's deciding when life begins, or thinking they have the right to decide what gender a person is, these empty shells of humanity aren't happy if they're controlling and running other people's lives.

(43,049 posts)lawyers, or their bastard children in government, can now decide questions best decided by argument between scientists and philosophers.

THIS: 'best decided by argument between scientists and philosophers.'

(130,714 posts)'lawyers, or their bastard children in government' with the difficult charge.
Quite correct to say: 'best decided by argument between scientists and philosophers.'
This was/is a 'hotly contested' aspect of Roe v. Wade. And, P.S., Justice Ginsburg, wasn't pleased with it either, but she advocated the 'task' should be handled in the states.

My father, who went to Fordham U. and their law school, impressed upon me years ago the thinking process of those Jesuit lawyers and why they should be admired.

(2,004 posts)why they are deciding when life begins when at the same time they are deciding when life ends. After all, white men are the ultimate deciders when it comes to life AND death. They are amazing god like figures, to which all must bow to their supremacy. I'm with you and I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT!!!

It's a tool to for them to control people in general and women in particular. And they really want to do that.
All else is rhetoric.

I don't know what Mohammed had to say about it all, but various places in the New Testament Jesus talks about how the old law is dead and he gave us the new law. The new law does not obsess over ritual but is much more difficult-- it depends upon our intent. We no longer have to follow rules, but we actually have to think about what we do.
Not quite the way things have worked out.

(6,044 posts)But I assure you that I am not really concerned with religious freedom or anyone's jesus, mohammed, thor zeus etc... It's all the same bullshit to me.
