Vernon Jones is a black Republican candidate for Congress, and he's just crossed the line. He said that being gay is not the same as being black. He said, "They can actually change." What nonsense! I mean, well, sure, they actually do change from time to time. And, sure, science hasn't yet demonstrated that they're born that way. And, of course, we will certainly set aside the fact that they -- as does everyone -- choose what behavior they engage regardless of prediliction. But, come on, Mr. Jones. Don't go saying things like that. Facts have no bearing in this arena. Being a black Republican is disturbing enough to the status quo, man.
The Anti-Life Party
Last week Colorado made it state law that women will always be allowed to kill their babies if they wanted to, even if Roe v Wade is overturned some day. This week Maryland lawmakers overrode a veto of their measure to expand abortion access, because in Maryland it is important to make baby-killing easily accessible and affordable -- insurance plans will be required to cover baby-killing. It should be noted that the "evil" Republican governor tried to limit access to abortion but the "brave" Democrat-controlled Assembly would have none of that. If "pro-life" is a primary plank of the GOP, "let mom kill 'em" is the Democrat version. And apparently Yelp wants to facilitate it.
Can I Get a Number?
Kentucky's governor etoed a pro-life law from the legislature that would have blocked abortions after 15 weeks. The legislature voted to override the governor. In Florida Governor DeSantis signed a similar bill into law. All news outlets I could find call these "abortion bans." I can barely call them "pro-life laws" since in these cases life apparently begins at 15 weeks. So, from the "pro-life" side that says "Life begins at 15 weeks" and from the pro-abortion side that says, "Preventing abortions after 15 weeks is a violation of rights!", I want a number. Life does not begin at conception (even though science and logic dictate otherwise). So when? To the former, is it 15 weeks? 6 weeks? To the latter, is it 24 weeks? 36 weeks? To both, what is the event at which this transitions from "sack of goo" to "human being"? Because with very rare exception they disagree in detail but agree in principle that "human being" starts at some arbitrary point and I don't know what that point is.
Postscript
Just an afterthought. Much of this weeks news (here) is about baby-killing. I think it's ironic given the fact that this Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection. Easter is a celebration of life and we're largely a culture of death.
Bee Affirming
First, not from the Bee, schools across the country are creating "transition closets." "The goal of the transition closet is for our students to wear the clothes that their parents approve of, come to school and then swap out into the clothes that fit who they truly are." The concept is available at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Arkansas, too. (No joke.) Then, from the Bee, a sixth grader, denied a tattoo, opts instead for gender reassignment surgery. In a related story, the father of a 5-year-old pterodactyl is finding it difficult to get species-affirming care in America. On the plus side, doctors are no prescribing Krispy Kremes for kids for fat-affirming care.
Finally, I had to give you this one from Genesius Times. According to science, normal CIS gender men are actually transmen trapped in transwomen bodies. Makes perfect sense ... by today's standards. (I told you sin rots the brain.)
He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! (Rev 22:20)
