Forced birth Christian-identified people want to force everyone else to abide by their beliefs. It’s not like it’s a habit exclusive to Muslims.

But Christianity does not have rules about taxing people in other religions

Christians are not forced birth. No Christian is forcing any man to have sex with a woman, No Christians force any woman to become pregnant. That is the natural outcome for sexual relations. What some Christians are is called pro-life. If a life is created, and that is exactly how life is created, some Christians believe that life should not be killed.

Abortion statistics clearly show the vast majority of abortions are done because the pregnancy is inconvenient for the parents.

Among the structured survey respondents, the two most common reasons were "having a baby would dramatically change my life" and "I can't afford a baby now" (cited by 74% and 73%, respectively.

Women who have abortions because they were raped is at 1%. Women who have abortions because they were victims of incest is less than half of 1%.

You can try to manipulate words, but your word manipulation is false, misleading, and factually incorrect.

Evidence for claim
“Women who have abortions because they were raped is at 1%. Women who have abortions because they were victims of incest is less than half of 1%. “

I don’t believe that at all.

I am a Christian and support Abortion rights as the lesser of many different evils related to wide spread violence and oppression against women. No woman or teen wants to get an abortion. But sometimes it is the most life affirming alternative m.

The crisis is one of jerkiness. Whether or not you agree it should be offensive, understand that it is. Only jerks deliberately offend in this way.

Is violent retaliation appropriate? I think not, but we all need to understand that the action can be understood as deeply offensive and just not do it in the first place.

Signed, traditional Jew who thinks a lot of ultra-secular and progressive faith Americans and Europeans have a bizarre blind spot when it comes to respecting the traditions of groups that have traditions.

It was an art history class! The professor repeatedly warned the students that there would be an image of Mohammed; why does the intersection of history, art, and religion need to be inflammatory?

People that are religious need to understand that the world should not revolve around their fairy tale beliefs and outdated traditions. It's a-OK to have these beliefs but it's stupid to expect others to adhere to them.

I'm a history teacher and I show this art when discussing Islamic empires. Our country is based on western values, which include free speech. I would hope our society will defend our right to do this. People are offended all of the time. I belong to a minority religion that is ridiculed nearly every day in my hearing. I may judge people, but that is the extent of my "offense".

I am shock that we all can't agree that all Americans should be subject to Islamic blasphemy laws. This professor should be prosecuted for a hate crime.

Do you understand how religious people think? This is like abortion argument.If I believe life starts at birth why can't I have an abortion at at 8 months.

Unfortunately, this opinion is out of step with modern political thought. Offensive speech is still protected speech in the US. If you lower the bar to offensive speech, you open the door to political suppression. I mentioned it earlier, but it was deleted, but Christians have to tolerate the Piss Christ for the same reasons that Muslims need to tolerate images of Mohammed.

Could not agree with the bolded more.

The reality is that some institutes of higher education have policies that essentially require action based on any complaint of discrimination or allegation of personal harm without regard for the circumstances or context.

It can be argued, and has been argued, that the First Amendment only protects offensive speech. It's unnecessary to protect inoffensive speech because no one would object to it.

Is that the same ACLU that was advocating burning the books with "harmful" views on gender? Does Chase Strangio still work there?

[Anonymous]

Isn't cancelling people the equivalent of book burning?

That said, freedom of religion is not compatible with the streams of Islam that believe others must submit.

It's the same way Christians don't like negative portrayals of Christ. (See: the play "Corpus Christi" and the bomb threats made)
You're technically "not allowed" and a devout Christian would of course be upset, but it's not like either can magically stop you from looking at as much messed up stuff as you want

NP, but the evidence is literally staring you in the face. It's not like you have to deny it to be pro-choice either, just say it doesn't matter if even one woman is pregnant because of rape, you still support abortion. Or say that a woman doesn't need to be raped or be pregnant from incest to have an abortion.

#Freetate? Maybe not.

depending on what you mean by "must", you could argue that any proselytizing religion believes others should convert, and therefore submit to it's teachings. That's not inherently wrong, BLM believes racist cops (who aren't part of BLM) must submit to BLM's demands for things like mandatory bodycams, police licenses, personal civil liability, reductions to qualified immunity, and of course no more shooting unarmed black people.
