    "Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State." Edward Abbey

    Let me repeat: Abortion is the hypocrite's crutch, a child dies every few seconds in the world and even in America of preventable healthcare issues and never ever do you hear abortion foes talk of helping the living born conscious human being. It is only this moral outrage over abortion that gets notice for it requires nothing of the moralist except judgment and condemnation of the other. Consider too the misogyny and racism so evident in America during the last President and 2016 election and you must wonder why this love of children does not extend into love of all people? How hard it is to to fund help for the needy in America, CHIP was an example, or universal healthcare, and you soon realize abortion like guns is only a wedge issue used to manage the mind of the easily persuaded. Religion, and especially evangelical religion in America has come to be about political power and money and no longer has anything to do with morality, you know simply doing good for your neighbor.

    "Diarrhoea is a leading killer of children, accounting for 9 per cent of all deaths among children under age 5 worldwide in 2015. This translates to over 1,400 young children dying each day, or about 526,000 children a year, despite the availability of simple effective treatment."

    Wait, men can, or can not get pregnant? your side has to choose, you can't play both. How about a rational argument for the topic, worldwide, like that is relevant. What is the leading cause of death for 5U in the US? How about from the 21st week of pregnancy to 5 years old?
    I can give approximately 39k are aborted after 21 weeks in the US. Accidental injury is the leading cause of death for children, at about 12K per year between 0-19 yo. i didn't dig long enough to break it down further. Approximately 83K 0-5 yo die for any reason, in the US.

    This seems like proclaiming that when a millionaire (or billionaire) becomes financially poor, he (or she) may then have an opinion on the matter of bank robbery--but not before that.

    This is hugely disingenuous, as it implies--quite erroneously--that the end of Roe v. Wade would amount to the end of legal abortion in America.

    Is it clear evidence of "misogyny" that a man happened to defeat a woman for the presidency?

    Oh, for the record: Hillary Clinton received more than two million more popular votes than Donald Trump did--which translates into more than two percentage points more.

    Those who are irreligious--in some cases, even anti-religious--can tolerate one-day-per-week religion (which does not require anything from its practitioners, other than throwing a few bucks into the collection plate on Sunday); but they really cannot tolerate any religion that is taken seriously, and actually practiced seven days per week.
