Today I learned that no Christians did medical research ever.

I imagine in fact that the bulk of medical research was done by theists.

And most of the scientific research.

Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered Penicillin, was a Roman Catholic. Pretty much every important figure of the Renaissance was also religious. Just because someone is religious doesn’t mean they think technology is witchcraft or science is useless compared to faith. At least try next time.

Modern genetic knowledge goes back to a monk.

That feel when atheists think they have patented ownership of anything scientific.

Have I mentioned lately that I love Ned’s Declassified?

Please don’t ignore the March for Life.

It’s on Friday and it’s important. It’s attended by hundreds of thousands of people, and the media seems to ignore it every single year. Or worse, they make it seem like it’s a quaint small gathering. I’ve marched. It’s not. They’ll tell you that it’s heavily attended by pro-choicers, too, and they’re wrong. The year I went I barely counted a dozen counter-protesters.

I stood at the top of Capitol Hill and looked all the way back to the horizon. The street and sidewalks were packed the entire way. Packed with balloons, and signs, and singing, and little old ladies praying, and families and young people from all walks of life.

On Friday there’s going to be a beautiful, peaceful protest against all affronts to human life. And while most people start with abortion, it’s about so much more than that. Maybe there won’t be a million people yet this year. Maybe there won’t be crude hats and catchy chants. But this is a March for Women, too. This is a march for everyone.

Please don’t ignore it.

Also, lots of us hate Trump just as much as the pro-choicers do. He is not pro-life. Please do not buy into the media narrative that it’s all a bunch of white dudes who want to impose their religion on others–because a) you sound like Fox News does when they wring their hands over ~*those scary Muslims trying to impose sharia law on the US*~, which is to say totally fucking ignorant and ridiculous, and b) because it’s simply not true. Most of the vocal pro-lifers I know are women. Most of the vocal pro-lifers I know are also opposed to war, racism, inadequate health care, torture, and all the rest of the issues y’all trot out whenever you want to smear pro-lifers. Most of the people I know who have fostered or adopted children are also pro-life, so don’t give me any of that bullshit about how we only care about adoption until the kid is born. In short: the pro-life movement, the actual pro-life ACTIVISTS, the REAL pro-life movement that nobody talks about because our existence is inconvenient for the two-party political farce we call a government, is not your enemy on 99 issues out of 100. You still have a problem with that 1 issue? Fine. But address it on those terms. Address that one issue. Don’t paint us to be devils when so many of us are fighting by your side on everything else.

But like… some of us do support Trump over Hillary and that doesn’t make us awful people? I mean, I didn’t like the guy whatsoever, but I liked him more than I liked her after the misappropriation of funds for the Haitian Earthquake and the fact that she was cool with selling our uranium to Russia.

I get what you’re trying to do here. You’re trying to make it look like the pro life movement is compatible with a democrat vision. And it can be! But it doesn’t have to be. Saying that the pro life movement doesn’t fit in with our current party mess is not the same as saying we agree with democrats on 99 issues out of 100. We don’t. And to suggest that we do again puts us on party lines. The pro life movement is about protecting humanity irrespective of other political leanings. I know pro lifers who are like myself, who are generally conservative but don’t like Trump. I know pro lifers who are pro Hillary because they liked all of her other policies, and thought that they might be able to advocate against abortion at a later timeline. I know pro lifers who protest voted in this election! Don’t put us in boxes please.

Being pro life means being pro life from fertilization until natural death. That’s our MO. But we can go about that in different ways. A conservative pro life person would advocate for charity over the government providing welfare, because charities have typically much less administrative overhang. In other words, more money goes to the people who need it. A conservative pro life person might also advocate for things like the second amendment, if they feel that the presence of guns makes people less likely to use them out of fear of mutually assured destruction. That argument is a bit hard to swallow, but I do know somebody like this. A pro life person might be pro adoption, but anti foster care in its current system because they don’t like the state having control of children. They are a lot of positions here that don’t follow the liberal rhetoric.

And of course, there are liberal pro lifers who agree with what you said, that welfare and government protection are the best way to ensure life. And that is okay.

So yeah, the movement is large. Don’t put us in a box, and stop apologizing to liberals for goodness’ sake. You’ll never win with them like that.

But like that means that the entire university, which I'm pretty sure is conducting some really good research on Drosophila genetics, now loses federal funding because of a bunch of pissababy children. That's not really fair. It's not the university disallowing free speech, is the asinine regressive left students. Had the university simply banned he man from coming in the first place, I would agree.

I mean, I don’t know if this helps, but I was in a pretty toxic friendship for a while. The other person actually ended the whole thing, and it bugged me that I wasn’t in control of how it ended and I didn’t get to say my piece. Namely, that this person had picked on me for 7 years. Other people had tired calling said person out, nothing done, etc. I started getting passive aggressive about the fact that I was being insulted all the time, and lo and behold, friendship ended. I was REALLY bitter about the fact that I had told this person things and trusted this person and wasted money, resources, time, you name it, on trying to be a good friend. Sometimes, you are a good friend, and they might be a good friend (the person I’m thinking of is actually an excellent friend to others), but you are LOUSY friends to each other. And if you ever cared about said friend at all, you know it would be best for them that you not be near them, just like if you care about yourself at all, you know that it’s best for you that you not be near them. It really really stinks. But you’ll be okay. It took me a bit to get over it though, so don’t feel bad if it takes you a good while.

J. K. Rowling voice: Actually, Voldemort was a sickly orange color and had tiny hands, but I never mentioned that in the books because it wasn’t important to Harry’s journey!
