have to impose their theocratic views
of abortion on others?

As a pro-life atheist, I’ve never been more confused. That starts with the fact that Ocasio-Cortez is herself Catholic. Does she consider her own faith “fundamentalist”? I presume she’d say the Church requires its members to be pro-life in their private conduct (isn’t she pro-choice?) but doesn’t require them to enshrine their beliefs in public policy. If that’s the case, I’d politely refer her to today’s news. Beyond that, she seems to be arguing that abortion is some sort of religious right. Conservatives have accused the left for years of treating abortion as a sort of sacrament but it turns out we didn’t know the half of it.

Let me explain it to you Chiquita. Abortion is the murder of a defenseless child. God said we should not murder anyone. When man's law conflicts with God's law, go with God's law. The number of religions that question when life begins is irrelevant.

Sanctions against murder is a standard prohibition in any civilized society. But Demonrats aren't civilized.

I dare her to present an aborted baby (not fetus) to the Senate and ask them sincerely "If this is not a human child what is it". The only thing I can think of is that AOCs mother had a late term abortion. One of my favorites is when they suck the brains out of a child's head so they can be delivered more easily. It appears AOC survived such an attempt. Because I am sure she has no brains.

We are not "imposing" our view on others, we are simply electing people in our "Representative Republic" that will enact laws that fit our views on abortion, murder and other criminal acts. That's the way the USA works even though your little mind is too small to understand that fact. What gives atheists the right to get 5 liberal judges to read laws into the Constitution that aren't in the document? If you want abortion on demand, go enact that law where you live, in your state. SCOTUS isn't declaring all abortion illegal. They are simply allowing the states to enact their own laws that fit THEIR community standards.

First of all, fool, there is no prohibition on abortion- the fight is over at what point the abortion is illegal. You, being a narcissistic hedonistic savage, care not. You might find- if you represented anybody but yourself- that a lot of people in your district, and certainly in the country at large, do not like the idea of killing a human or even something that looks very human even if you in your illness insist it is not human. They are not all fundamentalist Christians. And even if they were it does not mean they are wrong; you are the equivalent of a racist. Would you kill a puppy before it could be born? You’re such a self centered pig. You should do your job and quit shooting off your mouth from that empty heart and skull of yours.

Although Abortion is the killinf a child, Roe Vs Wade used the Constitution. The Court was not able to state that an unborn child was a human being, and, thus a citizen of the Republic. In the end the Court was unable to state the the constitution prohibited Abortion (not that it foavored Abortion but that there was nothing in the Constittuion in those days that saw unborn children as human beings.)

They defended Pelosi as a leader who has "consistently fought on the morally right side of these issues," and praised her as a role model for women.

ROME — San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said Friday that he was “guided by the principles articulated by Pope Francis” in his decision to bar House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion because of her aggressive abortion advocacy. In a lengthy interview with Gloria Purvis, Archbishop Cordileone insisted that he cannot judge Ms. Pelosi’s conscience, but “to be so aggressively promoting it — that’s not what a devout Catholic does. So I believe in her heart, she feels that way, but there is a disconnect on this issue.”

Former President Bill Clinton defended Joe Biden's dismal poll ratings on Monday, insisting his successor in the White House was motivated less by popularity than getting the job done.The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, an immigration crisis and spiraling inflation have sent Biden's approval ratings into freefall. The result is a Democratic Party fearing the worst in November's midterm elections. But Clinton offered a rosier view, claiming the president ad delivered on his campaign promise to turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic and restore the U.S. to its rightful place in the world.
