I thought the same thing….

The other line that bothered me was "as an American liberal who believes that religious pluralism imposes certain obligations on government," – well no, religious pluralism imposes no such thing on government.

It's funny how even the most intelligent person can say the craziest thing due to religion. "Speaking as a Catholic" should be seen akin to saying "I support a worldwide criminal enterprise". My recent post Five Ways The Devil Is Tricking Atheists!

Comment on Ohio Anti-Abortion ‘Heartbeat Bill’ Is About Ending Legal Abortion Not Saving Lives by PooleBowman

Thanks for checking and for writing the above report.
What is wrong with The Courier? Shouldn't they have balanced
her statement with a fact check? Aren't the basic rules of good
journalism still who, what, where, when and why? They gave
credibility to a probable lie by not even applying common sense.
While I'm at it, where is the concern about spoiling Findlay's image
that they expressed regarding the Cooper lockout? The Courier
has always driven me nuts. Finally, what has happened to
Cliff Hite? He is way over his head supporting a group that has
been disavowed by "mainstream" anti-abortion groups. I'm also
appalled by his lack of common sense. My letter was printed
in today's The Courier. Thanks. Bill

Great – let me know if it gets printed.

I asked my mom what it was like back then. Roe v. Wade was in 1972 so even if the date is correct of 1975 or so my mom said there was still a society stigma about abortion so any so-called "field trips" to abortion clinic couldn't have happened without a massive backlash. My mom thinks Theis is using the usual scare tactics she said were used even after Roe v. Wade.

Thank you. I wrote a letter to the editor questioning her assertion.
I don't believe it. I think she jumped the tracks.
