I now have a question. If the six Catholic Supreme Court justices effectively ban abortions (and it is getting there albeit state by state), what is the difference between them, the Taliban or the Ayatollahs? Isn't that effectively a religious decree?

Murder, stealing, rape; all the things forbidden by religious decree should be legal and acceptable in this country because we have a separation between state and religion (this is quite some logic, Rajoo).
You'd have to read quite a few books, or least watch some videos, to understand the differences between religions.

You must realize there's a big difference between social crimes and abortion. If you don't then say so.

Social crime is a Marxist concept.
On one side of a given state line, possession of marijuana is legal, cross that line it's illegal. It's a bunch of political bullshit.
In the case of abortion, it's no longer a victimless crime. How is it different than killing an adult while they're asleep?

I have no problem recognizing a legal abortion as not being murder and as not being the same as killing a sleeping person.

And you do not know the difference?

The big problem for "progressives": Abortion is a gruesome affair...it is increasingly difficult to sanitize.

But depositing sperm is sanitary enough.
There's an inequity in biology that is easy to gloss over, if you're not the one who gets pregnant. Should the law compel a man to, say, donate a kidney to save a life? Or must choices like that be allowed, while the choice to gestate is denied?
Abortion is not ideal, but empathy and equity say denying choice to women is wrong.

The FDA just made home delivery abortion pills available by online prescription.
So now it's a convenient birth control method.

Where is this Catholic / Papal control you refer to ?

When does a fertilized egg become a person with the same rights, et al, as an post-natal human. As an person with adult independent status? How would that work in a court of law?
