in which a wigglytuff has a political grumble
did my daily facebook rant, found a pretty good article that i think will actually maybe get through to some people - a catholic hardline pro-lifer (yes yes i know) who is running the numbers and going "if we're actually being pro-life, republican parties are fucking SHIT for this in SO MANY WAYS"
i vehemently disagree with hardline pro-lifers but i at least appreciate the catholic folks out there going for it holistically with equal logic applied

like i may think they're wrong
but they at least are attempting to apply the same rule in more than just one aspect of policy. so pro-life doesn't mean just no abortion, it means no death penalty, it means healthcare for all, etc etc. i even appreciate the catholic priest who argues that you cannot be pro-life and own a gun for defense - because you can't be pro-life if you've already made up your mind to kill somebody.

the idea of actually applying your stated values to all aspects like that is something that shocks and confuses the vast fucking majority of evangelical christianity in america
as is the idea of *thinking* about these things, but that's another rant
anyway i think that an article running the numbers, from a catholic, going "i have to vote for warren because so many more people are going to be killed under repubs" is valuable for some folks to hear

basically it's all culminating in me being glad that i'm too disabled to go to church currently because if given the opportunity, i could give a real fuckin banger of a sermon on "we are sodom and gammorah, and no it has nothing to do with them queers, it has everything to do with the actual stated reasons that they got God-nuked, now let me tell you about rape culture and all the ways Trumpism is idolatrous evil"
