How bout this. Moses goes up on Mount Sinai to get Ten Commandments from God. One commandment is thou shalt not kill. As soon as he gets down to the people he gets mad and kills 3,000 people. True story I swear
Uh, so this never happened. But my best guess is that it's a reference to a proposed, rather insane bill that is unlikely to pass. See [vox.com]
A Texas bill would allow the death penalty for patients who get abortions
But it's Texas and from a Republican, so it's not crazy to think this could happen. Maybe it's time that the normal people in Texas (and my brother lives there so I'm sure there are at least a few) to start throwing out Repub lunatics.
The real danger IMO is that this is another step towards normalizing anti-women legislation in hopes of getting something in front of the Supreme Court that could be used to challenge Roe v. Wade.
For reference:
"A bill recently introduced in Texas would make it possible for women to get the death penalty for having abortions.
The bill would criminalize all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest, and would make it possible to charge a woman with homicide for having the procedure, according to the Washington Post. The state of Texas allows capital punishment for homicide.
Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican state legislator who introduced the bill, says it would make people “consider the repercussions” of having sex.
“My bill simply accomplishes one goal,” Tinderholt said in a statement to media on Wednesday. “It brings equal treatment for unborn human beings under the law.”
The bill, which was discussed at a hearing on Monday, is unlikely to pass. And it falls far outside the mainstream of the anti-abortion movement, which has generally opposed punishing women for having abortions. “I am absolutely appalled by any proposal that would suggest prosecuting a woman for seeking an abortion or obtaining an abortion,” Catherine Glenn Foster, president of the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life, told Vox.
But the bill may be part of a larger drive by abortion opponents to introduce laws that could lead to a challenge to Roe v. Wade. And reproductive rights activists fear that Tinderholt’s proposal is a preview of what could happen if the landmark abortion decision is overturned.
“Clearly it is a terrifying example of the lengths the anti-choice GOP are willing to go to punish women,” Adrienne Kimmell, the vice president of communications and strategic research at NARAL Pro-Choice America, told Vox."
I wouldn't put it past Texas if I were you...
I didn't realize Texas is executing women for seeking an abortion. Must have somehow missed this massive story in the news and on the Internet.
When was this and do you have more details please?
Think I read this story in the Bible also. Would not want to be a women, trapped in a monolithic hard religious family or country.
Wanta know tough...have lived among them for the past 40+ years and not a scratch, thats a long time to be "under-cover"...still find myself "heil hitlering" occasionally, humming "onward christian soldiers", you know, but like to fantisize that I did my share of damage for the cause before retireing to the leisure of A.Com. to the younger ones comming in, I say keep the fire burning and the way lite
Were the women submissive as the Bible dictates? I married a woman from overseas thinking she would be submissive but within 3 days the tables turned. lol
@St-Sinner very many were,..........I heard
@St-Sinner I wonder, these are the writings of Men. Men who wanted to control Women. Perhaps they weren't always as successful as their histories lead us to believe.
@Gonzogopher Of course, all are writings of men sold as the word of God. We suckers have been falling for it for 2,000 years.
