Same person, different location

Someone recently posted this image of their baby:

Now right now, they [pro-life Christians] hold everyone in line with this one kind of piece of doctrine about abortion, right? Which is obviously a tough issue for a lot of people to think through morally. Then again, you know, there are a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath. And so even that is something we can interpret differently.

Mayor Pete assumes a baby doesn't "breathe" until the baby has been born and starts crying. I've pointed out how that's a false assumption.

    1. Good point! In fact, in a burning home situation, I wouldn't be surprised if Mayor Pete might even prefer to save his pets over some of his relatives (e.g. Rhyan Glezman who is an evangelical pastor and Mayor Pete's brother-in-law). If so, then he'd be cut from the same cloth as Peter Singer.
