Speaking of… I was listening to a podcast this morning about the Tuam Home in Galway, Ireland & realized that the Bon Secours nuns that ran that hell hole are the same Bon Secours that owns a nearby (edit: to where I live) hospital and are the name sponsor of a nearby (edit: to where I live) sports+entertainment arena!

Sadly it's too low. They have around $265 Billion (Roughly the same as Musk I think)
To make you feel better though,
The Catholic Church of the USA has only around $73 Billion. And estimated $265 Billion worldwide.
Oh shit.... Mornons $265 Billion, Catholics $265 Billion, Musk $263.8 billion...
Three is half of six x 3 is sure signs of the DEVIL right there.
But that is irrelevant. If he had been President in 2016, he would have picked 3 SCOTUS judged that would have overturned too. Any Conservative judge would have.
Nearby by American standards maybe, but not by Irish
I didn't know that it was the same order though. Horrible.
What "sports arena" do they sponsor?
It gets into a kind of potato potahto territory when someone puts that forward as an argument for abortion. The effect of which is to reduce the numbers of ‘undesirables’ in the population.

Bon Secour Wellness Arena - 15,000ish seat arena that hosts a minor league hockey franchise, the SEC women’s basketball tournament, WWE events, monster trucks, and tons of concerts
That’s looks like it could seriously backfire.
Haven't seen the ads but I presume they made it so it doesn't necessarily contradict. Both beliefs can be true and exist together. It's just where do your draw the line on what is self defense vs going too far.
Religion really is just a massive tax free grift isn't it? Amazing.
I thought that was something that was well liked and worked well in helping people?
Most institutions (from education to healthcare) came from religion.
When has that ever stopped them?
There are regulations in there they want to get rid of.
They also want to get rid of Obamacare and Social security, but thankfully have been stopped.
Why are they cheering that? So stupid.
The idiot already backtracked it. He said he heard the question wrong and got confused.
If it was anyone else, you'd wonder if they were having a stroke or some kind of mental episode.
I still get shocked every time by how insane Trump's makeup is.
That's because religion had the money and power.
What the feck is he actually talking about? I refuse to believe even his supporters are buying this or that they are entertained by it.
Trump doesn't know what irony is.
Or that it promoted a genuine interest in caring for the sick and education.
And now should be nowhere near either.
His supporters do tick every stereotype appearance that you've come to expect from MAGA/Trump lot.
And wtf is he even on about ?
Oversimplification and not particularly relevant.
The way it was presented on the BBC news at 6pm earlier was just more grist to the mill for the fake news brigade. It boggles my mind when programme editors make these decisions, do they not realise that people can see the entire clip unedited online!?
Historically accurate and somewhat relevant.
Yes, that’s why the nuns took the babies from their unwed mothers, neglected them, then put them in the septic tank once they died.Or that it promoted a genuine interest in caring for the sick and education.
And that terrible example negates centuries of non-terrible positive examples across a spectrum of human experience?
It shows it has nothing to do with god or religion and everything to do with basic humanism. And it isn’t the only example. That shit was going on for over 2 centuries in multiple places.
As @nimic said, you’re engaging in an oversimplification of the facts
Back on topic, the Heritage Foundation will run wild with another 4 years of Trump judicial appointments. The churches will have free reign to kill as many pregnant women as they want, all in service of protecting life.
The amazing thing is that some parts of this country are more conservative (and legally more stringent) on the issue of abortion that Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Not at all. But that is something the religious conservatives threw at Donohue and Levitt when they first released their paper 20+ years ago. It's just a pragmatic approach which of course isn't going to matter to hardcore religious people but it is relevant when examining an issue based on reason. It's important to take into account that it does appear that legalized abortion contributes to a meaningful reduction in crime in the long term. By now the research has been replicated and even updated 2 years ago by the original authors with the same conclusions. It helps illustrate the problem of religious conservatives using the state to force their beliefs on people that don't accept them which doesn't lead to a better society but a worse society.

Ahaaaa crossed wires. There are Bon Secours hospitals here too.
Insane.
Imagine that instead of catholic it would be under jehovah's witness and they would not allow transfusions
Religion should be all away from education and science (i.e. health care). Should be away of everything in all honesty...but hospitals...Bonkers
Do even know what eugenics means? no wonder you are a trump supporter
