I haven't seen religion being forced on anybody,
Pro-Life rulings -- All recent state laws banning abortions --
including some that "forgot" to include language exempting cases of rape, incest, and danger to the mother -- were backed by/forced through by religious conservatives. Other laws, that would allow the travel of
women of child- bearing years to be tracked without their consent, were considered and were also backed by religious conservatives.

I understand your point, but these conservatives that you're talking about were elected by voters (Weren't they?)
I can't honestly say that Biden and Johnson forced 7 million illegal immigrants on us because we elected them. It's ultimately the voters who force things on people.

Yes, but it still doesn't change the fact that we *do* have religious based laws despite there being "separation of church and state." That being said, did they all promise to do such things when they campaigned? If any didn't, their actions aren't the voters' faults.

It's ultimately the voters who are SUPPOSED to force things on people.
We didn't ask for Biden-flation. We didn't ask for the illegals. We didn't ask for the billions sent to Ukraine.

Similarly, the left has created laws that correspond with sacrilege. Example: Virginia Democrats passed legislation that allows (or allowed) doctors to murder newborns (post-birth abortions.) Does that solve the problem of conservatives embroiling the law with Christianity in
Virginia?

You and me didn't ask for those things, but the lefties did. We warned them about the border, and the Obama/Biden administration should have served as a warning about Ukraine, but they did what their television
told them to do.
Just want to toss out there, as bad as it was, I don't think that legislation actually passed. It had really bad optics, including Kathy Tran trying to answer for her bill, embarassingly, and Gov Ralph
Northam's really bad radio interview describing a post-birth arbortion, "the baby will be kept comfortable" and "a discussion will ensue" regarding whether to kill it or not. What blew my mind was, how can anything be kept comfortable while it's in a state of needing resuscitation? But after those remarks, maybe within a day or two,
those pictures of him in KKK outfits and his nickname "coon man" in both VMI year books and medical school yearbooks came out...so it rubbed
dressing up like Michael Jackson at a party, and even offered to show
that he could moonwalk. ...ah, good times. All 3 finished their posts so

And they **STILL** don't believe that their actions caused those
problems.
Sometimes the laws that we desire correspond with religion. In Christianity, "Thou shall not kill" is synonymous with "Murder in the 1st degree." And many people will argue that abortion is synonymous with 1st degree murder.

There will be times when the majority will want the same thing that Christians want (I think it happens quite often.)

Then his Lt Gov was accused of rape, and the attorney general, for some reason
came out and admitted he had dressed in blackface before. On top of that, Gov
Northam admitted to that too, dressing up like Michael Jackson at a party, and
even offered to show that he could moonwalk. ...ah, good times. All 3 finished their posts somehow. Not to take it OT too far.

Even if that legislation didn't pass, it served as an experiment to determine how far insane leftists will go to back up the "woman's right
to choose" argument. Apparently, they will go pretty far indeed. Way
too far.

The media is evil, and they thought that people would get more
emotional about the blackface/kkk stuff than they would over the post-birth abortions. I think they were wrong because I don't even live
in Virginia and I'm still repulsed - years later.

I'm a white guy and I was Michael Jackson for Halloween one year when I was a kid. Another year I went as Sadaam Hussein. There was nothing
racial about it, and nobody complained. I wonder how people would take
it if I did that now, as an adult? lol

Tran did misanswer a question, before later realizing that her fellow legislator was describing infanticide. The Governor was describing
what happens in any case where a birth occurs and the infant is not viable. They often require resuscitation (meaning they have already
died), and pallative care (keeping them comfortable) is standard
procedure until the parents and doctors discuss whether or not to let nature take its course (continue pallative care until natural death) or
to make some sort of valliant effort to save the nonviable child, which will usually only prolong matters until eventual death.
The bill in question was one which would have allowed late-term
abortions in cases of fetal nonviability or danger to the mother.
Despite Tran's statement to the contrary, it would not have allowed killing the child once labor had started. Tran later corrected herself and properly pointed out that this would be infanticide and is illegal
in Virginia (and all other 49 states).
Thanks for clarifying that. That's correct. It was easily blown out of proportion, as would be expected. Both Tran and Northam sounded awful and provided plenty of sound bytes because of this. In my opinion, Northam did a lot of damage trying to clarify. What normally worked for him, his folksy, country, happy charm just didn't sound right talking about this.
Second of
all, the way you explain it and the way he explains it...his way leaves a lot more to the imagination and he should have known better and chosen words more like yours. I think he was trying to sound compassionate, but fumbled the ball. On top of it, he's a doctor; talking like a doctor in this case, instea
of trying to coddle the question would have provided little to pick at.
But it's sad these days even if you mean no actual harm, that you
need to really apply a filter to yourself before you speak or do.

Michael Jackson is dead.

Saddam Hussein is dead.

Why would anybody complain about two dead guys?
