I want any Texan to give me the moral justification for forcing a woman to give birth to a baby that will only live for a few hours in agony before dying. Because this isn’t stopping what they call murder. There’s no murder here even if you consider abortion to be murder in general because there will be no life for this fetus/baby/whatever you want to call it.
I want to know why this woman should be banned from having an abortion in Texas beyond ‘we said no abortions and we mean it.’
These are literally grown adults that believe in magic. There’s not going to be any reasonable explanation that will make any sense to anyone outside of their cult.
She is a sinner so she must endure her divine punishment. That’s the whole argument.
I mean he could make a lot of things not work, but prefers to allow our fuck ups with random miracles mixed in. Apparently free will means letting us do bad shit.
And that’s where the whole tri-omni approach starts to eat its own tail.
I have a whole shtick about free will not being compatible with either a materialistic nor a tri-omni worldview. I simply do not believe it exists, nor is it possible.
They think science is a religion. Manifestation of your will is what makes reality. So if they pray hard enough, it will have an effect. They think people who consider themselves scientists are just making it up and making it real because they believe it so much.

The folks I know who believe in magic believe in faeries and healing crystals. They don’t have issues with abortions.
These folks believe in religion, which is far worse than magic.
I dunno, Jesus was pretty much a DnD cleric, and they do magic all the time.
Jesus literally had a magic wand in some early Christian imagery.
They believe god may grant the fetus a reprieve at any moment. They believe in magic, ffs. What do you expect?
Couldn’t god just make the abortion not work? Maybe give the doctor a heart attack, or make Jesus appear on the sonogram like he does on toast?

The omnis just don’t work sanely, not that believers will listen.
Epicurus tackled it centuries before Christianity existed:
I doubt in many cases they even believe in the science that says this is going to be the outcome, because science isn’t real.

Because god works in mysterious ways or some bullshit like that?
