When it comes to the Bible, to say that <PERSON> didn't directly reference abortion is a less than compelling argument. <PERSON> didn't directly reference lots of things - slavery among others. The ethic he proposed nonetheless has i... | bad052916ca747cbb586d69e3759ec378d3049e4c8f33be990cc56080ff4e6a9 | ['d4880aa8a3884be199d44d185d10bd3e'] | @TrueNorth I think there is an argument to be made that trying to curtail abortions is based on science first and then, for some, secondarily on religion. I'm not saying it is conclusive necessarily, but those of us who oppose abortion on demand don't simply rely on the Bible to get to that conclusion. |

Both accusers' stories have holes as many do after long periods of time, but at least <PERSON>'s story - she worked for <PERSON> and met him, told a neighbor, reportedly told her mother, had a friend recall her story.. <PERSON> ... | 3e68927a2d00eddca97615bdcccfedac3c38cb6f3dc4c3910a1428f0327423af | ['d4d23806c8514b658dc0387c15f1f89b'] | There are many in Portland (the so-called peaceful protestors) found with weapons, including guns. We've all seen the videos of "protestors" attempting to assault police officers and destroy federal and city property. That this is largely a cry for social justice is laughable. In Kenosha, more than 100 people were ... |

That is dangerous. Many minorities have been mistaken for white by other people but that does not make them white. Another person's perception does not define who I am or what my race is. ... | 6a393ffa5a88573e869a9c8637c05973e70dc0919cd64f6f1ba952d86c800309 | ['d4ff608fdcc44767a9987462f933969f'] | @Referencegirl thanks for your thoughts. I am not comparing suffering just explaining that Ashkenazi is not Caucasian (white) -- these are two different things on a DNA/genetic level. And again, "If we were white, my brother would not have experienced hate crimes for being not white in college." <a href="https://blog... |
