It's a lot of incentive to vote Republican.
It's a lot of incentive to find a therapist.

Well, now they are killing live babies after birth so that throws your scenario right out the window.

A lot of Germans, good people let the holocaust happen by doing nothing.

The great thing about America is we can stop a wrong with our vote. The Germans didn’t have that luxury.

With all this hyperbole I'm guessing you didn't read the link I posted, so here's another one to show you that this was already law, since 2002.: https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-...ouse-bill/2175

There does seem to be a contradiction between the Democratic values, and decency.

I'm Catholic (white) and that is true. There are very few Catholics in the Southeast, but once you get to Louisiana and Texas, there are a lot more Catholics. New Orleans is a very good example of city which has a large black population coupled with a large Catholic population. Houston is the same way.


We live in eastern TN now and there are very, very few Catholics. For a town of 80,000, there is only one Catholic church.


BTW, at our Catholic church in Iowa, it was about 40% Hispanic and 10% black. Keep in mind that the Catholics are very clannish, such that you usually have to convert to Catholicism when the other spouse is Catholic. In addition there are MANY black Catholics who are first gen immigrants from Africa. The Catholic high school in Iowa (which has won the state football championship nearly every year) has about 1/4th of the team black. People ***** and say they are "recruited", but all the black kids I knew (friends of my kids) were Catholic and not "recruited".

I don't think I ever met a African-American who was Catholic. Maybe Louisiana? But this poll corroborates what I stated:A Religious Portrait of African-Americans | Pew Research Center

Only 5% are, and I'm not sure if they're adjusting for immigration background here as well.

The only time a true comparison can be made and you don’t see it. Sad.
