They want a fetus to be a person so they can pass laws controlling women.
But not when it's their financial responsibility?

"Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa, a faith-based health care provider, is arguing in a medical malpractice case that the loss of an unborn child does not equate to the death of a “person” for the purpose of calculating damage awards."

Theists are often more vulnerable to demagoguery & conspiracy theories because they’re conditioned to believe without evidence.
Atheists can fall for nonsense too, but critical thinking, not blind faith, is their default, making them harder to manipulate!
Religion can be poison for the mind!

welcome back, 'hole in the ozone 2.0' 🙄 wtf
The EPA ordered the virtual elimination of a 15-year-old federal program that requires thousands of power plants, oil refineries, cement factories and other large industrial facilities to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions, according to two people briefed on the decision.
E.P.A. Is Said to Plan Deep Cuts to Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
Officials are moving to eliminate requirements that most big polluters disclose how much carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases they emit.

Every Republican senator shares responsibility for what’s happening. They are complicit in, and share responsibility for, whatever mess Trump’s dangerous nominees cause.
But a few GOP senators from purple(ish) states face reelection next year — and we’re going to shine a light on their complicity.

i think people are still oblivious to how easy it is for a government official to simply lie and keep the discourse focused on said lie. especially easy at a time when confidence in legacy publishers is at an all time low and social media is actively spreading disinfo as "truth"

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share
—Low-density areas
—High-income areas
—Car-dependent areas

As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!
