We need to clarify the rules on life in America, following the Supreme Court decision to overturn the infamous ‘Roe vs Wade’ case and allowing all the good ole boy, bible-bashin’, Dukes of Hazard, Trump-supportin’, Confederate flaggin’ states to immediately make abortion completely illegal. Praise the Lord. Once again we can render, in one simple ruling by a bunch of ultra-conservative, right wing Christians, the entire concept of ‘unwanted pregnancy’ completely invalid. As it says, or possibly implies, in The Holy Bible, even if your 14-year old daughter was gang-raped, even if your foetus is not viable, there are simply no circumstances where that ‘life’ can be terminated. Not legally. If those sinners wish to travel 567 miles to a Democrat state, where they will perish in the fires of eternal hell and damnation, then they can choose to MURDER THEIR UNBORN. Or they can do what they did before 1973 and visit the woman in the alley with the knitting needles and moonshine. HALLELUYAH FOR PROGRESS!!!

Of course, once that unborn gets hisself or herself born, then, obviously, they’re no longer protected by such laws and it is almost perfectly legal to murder them in schools in as vast numbers as a gun can fire.

Similarly, the ‘pro-life’ concept does not include any black men arrested by the police for jaywalking or dropping litter, where the instant, without-trial death penalty is almost mandatory.

And we have Donald Trump, the gift that keeps giving, to thank. Not only he divided America in a way not reached since the Civil War, he pushed the right wing beyond mere ‘conservative’ into the realms of the Taliban. Government is allowed to make concessions to religion in its laws. But if a nation is effectively ruled by religious interpretation you end up with Afghanistan. Iran. Saudi Arabi. And America. First go women’s rights. Then other ‘minority groups’ get worked upon. Like gays. Perhaps other religions. And that, you feel, is where this new, ramped up to the right Supreme Court is headed. And with 6 bible-bashers to just 3 normal people, it is pretty much unstoppable in turning the USA back to about 1958. Back to Ireland, where the right wing conservative Christians have similar views on abortion, same-sex marriage and human rights in general. Only a matter of time before slavery is reinstated.

I fear we’ll soon be fighting off 200 million American refugees all claiming asylum having taken a rubber dinghy across the Atlantic to avoid religious persecution. And no longer willing to live in what is becoming a third-world country.

‘Making America Great Again’. Yeah, right.

Happy Saturday
