Not really a minor sitcom character. Not really a cleric. Just a bundle of informed opinions.

1. Details matter.
2. Do the math.
3. Few people are lying, but nearly everyone is wrong.

@MikeKon219 That's all true, but I repeated your specific claims of harm and discomfort on purpose. Ethics and respect are different matters.

If you are concerned about discomfort experienced by a body, seems to me it's too early to seize vital organs from it. He ain't dead yet.

[Rev Snow @RevSnow67]

Puzzling to ponder what harm or discomfort can be inflicted on a truly dead body.

@DrWojakMD No.. brain death is a diagnosis based on scientific data.

It helps with prognosis, and also can help to limit what could be considered unethical prolongation of invasive and uncomfortable/harmful continued interventions.

As my old boss says: "Most people believe in three cases where abortion is okay: rape, incest, and my case."

@TSHamiltonAstro This news prompted me to confirm that he and Murray Head are brothers.

@DutchRojas It's better than that. Truthful open pricing leads to reshaping of what gets produced.

And *that* is what really brings good care at affordable prices.

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

We do not have a healthcare cost problem.
We have a price-secrecy problem.

Cost is what something takes to make.

Price is what someone decided you will never be allowed to see.

Kill the secrecy and the cost handles itself.

Some of the anger I saw from pro-lifers responding to my tweets was essentially, "how dare you insinuate that pro-life people would abort a child with Down Syndrome!"

Guys, I've been in the care of souls business for 18 years now. And when you're in the care of souls business, something you see often is people who have been lifelong, devout Christians completely bail on the faith the SECOND holding to it requires them to suffer.

People who have spent decades faithfully coming to worship will leave forever the second their kids come out to them and tell them they have to choose between holding to the Bible and having a relationship with their kids. People who have always upheld what the church teaches about cohabitation immediately reject it the second their kids start shacking up.

People who lament the evils of divorce will get divorced the second they think they can come out of the situation better off, and they will give you every rationalization for why the words of Jesus don't apply to them. Ask your pastors about this. Dudes will leave their congregations, go to another down the street to another congregation with their mistress on their arm and act like nothing happened, utterly convinced that God supports them in doing so.

People who have thanked you for preaching against the idolatrous nature of youth sports that keeps kids out of church on Sundays will immediately embrace the idol when their kids have the opportunity to join a travel team. And so on.

And yes, when people who have boldly and faithfully stood against the evils of abortion find themselves carrying an unwanted child? They will often employ the very same vile rationalizations that they have condemned fifty trillion times before.

Do people who identify as pro-life have fewer abortion than pro-choicers? Of course. But with love and respect, you are absolutely clueless if you think that a notable percentage of women having abortion weren't pro-life identifying ladies until the moment their desire for abortion overpowered their faith and convinctions.

And, more to the point, if you are offended by this assertion because you know would never in a million billion years ever do this, you are clueless to the power of the sinful nature that lurks within you. If you think you would stand where they fell because you are more pious, more devout, more devoted, etc...well, pride comes before destruction.

@AviWoolf Fair point. Any good examples to mimic?

[Rev Snow @RevSnow67]

@kerpen The cost of losing to him is now amplified.

@mtracey Lets be safer. Forbid tattooing for members of the armed forces as incompatible with military bearing.

@AviWoolf There is a place in the world for Romper Room, but the church sanctuary isn't it.

[Rev Snow @RevSnow67]

@AviWoolf The Reverend Doctor Margaret Pembrose elicits more respect than Pastor Peggy ever will.

@awstar11 Don't talk to Al Franken right now.

@lymanstoneky I know, I know. Blessing of liberty and all that, but it is complicated.

@lymanstoneky How much can I enjoy sipping on my bourbon if I know the system that delivers it to me also supplies the poor soul chugging a bottle a day or more?
