Post #4590 Social Media Digest

[A secular pro-life group critically republished a so-called Biblical meme, arguing life begins at first breath, not conception, via certain verses.]

Ronald A Guillemette
The meme materially misstates the Biblical context, which is unambiguously pro-life. Abortion was not an acceptable practice at the time of Christ, and you see it explicitly condemned in the Didache as Christianity spread through the Roman empire. Genesis 9, for example, links life to blood, which carries oxygen to cells. We know preborn babies have functioning hearts within 4 weeks or so.

[A pro-life libertarian posted on Justin Amash's prospective/actual announcement of running for the LP Presidential nomination.]

Jacob Hornberger is a better choice than this interloper and remains my preferred choice. But either man would be infinitely preferable to Trump or Biden.

Ronald A Guillemette I agree. Who will make a bigger dent, though?
Ronald A Guillemette
There's no denying Amash has much higher name recognition. But he could have switched his party affiliation to the LP and has not participated in debates.
[Note: since then, Amash has switched from independent to Libertarian in the House.]
