WHITE-WING CONSERVATIVE DOMESTIC TERRORISM: “White Terrorist Bundy Group Goes Free” / The Ring of Fire / Farron Cousins ☮

WHITE-WING CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN HYPOCRICY: “Why I Am Christian and Pro-Choice” / Charles Clymer ☮
I am pro-autonomy. I am pro-independence. I am pro-choice. I am also of the opinion that my religion — or anyone’s religion— has no place in the affairs of other people. I don’t like Christ being used as a political cudgel, but here we are, in 2016, talking about the very personal decisions women make, and so, I feel compelled to write this.
I realize some of you, my friends, have incredibly strong opinions on life beginning at conception. I respect that this, in part, comes from a place of empathy.
My disconnect with the “pro-life” message, aside from the obvious autonomy issue, is that very rarely have I seen my pro-life friends argue as passionately for children’s healthcare or universal healthcare or refugees or against the death penalty or poverty or for mental health advocacy or homeless advocacy or for VA reform, etc.
