The majority of people in the U.S. are not in favor of criminalizing abortion and yet here we are with the tail wagging the dog. Not only is abortion in danger but so is birth control and in some extreme cases even the death of the mother is said to be preferable to the death of the fetus.
If you do not share christian beliefs then you may not believe that the fetus has a soul and is certainly not an “individual human being.” Even some christians don’t believe it. The fetus is not really viable until shortly before birth and some pregnancies fail regardless of any parental intent to abort. The fetus is part of the mother and shares her oxygen supply so it is, in fact, part of the mother. If the fetus was removed and not viable for whatever reason even God would allow it to die.
Throughout history, not just American history, the fetus had no legal rights until actual birth. If the mother was deliberately kicked and the fetus lost its chance to become an “individual human being” the mother had a right to bring legal action against the perpetrator for her injuries but not for the loss of the fetus or potential child rearing. This has been the law of the planet for a millenia.
It has only been attacked as the reality of life since the christian far right have begun to use their willing believers and financial donations to finance attacks on those that do not agree. They were filled with religious fervor and would do anything to get what they want. It does not stop with abortion or even birth control and the christians are now attacking LGBTQ rights and trans-gender rights. They are attacking the separation of church and state to allow for christian indoctrination and oppression in schools, government, media, and even seek to change history. Lastly they want to, and have been successful, in having tax-payers pay for it by tax payer funding of private christian schools. This is all being done through their, and not your, representatives in the Republican Party and the Trump Supremecorp. justices.
The extreme oppression of others will not stop. Their “freeedom” will crush your freedoms at any cost. It doesn’t matter to them and they will not rest until they succeed. They are using tax payer funds and profitable donations earmarked for those less fortunate to fund this forced take-over. The change to political status by the christian church and its taking of tax dollars to fund the propaganda and political action is the reason that they should be paying taxes. They have huge holdings or real estate that have gone untaxed. They have been collecting untaxed donations that are not being used for philanthropic purposes. These two areas of untaxed profit should be taxed. They, unlike other religious denominations, have given up their philanthropic purposes in favor of political action and domination and should not be given special exception to not be taxed. At very least it would force an return to the separation of church and state.
In order to bring the christian church back in line with the teachings of Christ, it is vital to bring a “Tax the Christian Church” movement against them. It is not as though we would be harming any philanthropic efforts. They have abandoned those for an attack on America with instituted mind control propaganda and political attacks. Such a movement would show the world the hypocrisy of their stance and show them that they have something to lose by their out-of -control demands. We can make out-of-control demands as well and should.
