Where does the  bible explicitly forbid abortion?
It appears to allow it in some circumstances, like when the mother's life is in danger.

The subject comes up rarely in UK politics.

i put the blame squarely on israel. sure, the palestinian militants are vicious killers.

mostly its because they are learning by imitation, every generation, from the state of israel.

its not in any way a situation of equal responsibility. count the dead on each side in this most recent dispute.

i dont see any change in the pattern until iran tests a nuclear weapon.

i think it was a product of the paper mills, generated while they were producing woid pulp.

the thing about moonshine is that a small amount of methanol is apparently normal product of tbe fermentation. it has a lsignificantly lower boiling point, so it comes out of the still first and can discarded. without a thermometer you just threw away the first pint or two of liquid.

multiple distillations of the same alcohol will generate less and less methanol to be discarded, until only reasonably pure grain alcohol is left.

or so i have read.

They're just going to keep killing each other until they want to stop. And I don't see that happening any time soon. It's just a shit storm of hatred. :(

Quote from: Asmodean on September 04, 2024, 10:16:39 AMAh, but they didn't waddle on them comically short legs all the way, you see! Them's swam most of the way. Good swimmers, penguins. Checkmate, Atheists. :smilenod:

And don't forget they had to walk back afterwards and they really didn't need to get on in the first place!

As far as I know, it was called wood alcohol because an early chemist made it by fermenting wood.

abortion was a non-issue for most people until the conservative activists started searching for a single issue they could push to drag in evangelicals and catholics into politics.

they chose abortion and spent decades persuading people that ir was important, with great success.
