This discussion is remarkable.

30,000 children die each day from preventible medical causes like
dehydration, measles, tetanus, etc. And here we have people wearing their
"Christianity" like armor with pennants and flags, concerned about
persecution they claim to have suffered at the hands of the National
Organization of Women(!?).

I would advise these "Christians" to read the book of Luke, and recognize
themselves as the Pharisees and scribes of Jesus' time.

Luke 6:24 (NRSV)
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry.
