Democrats Push Bill to Allow U.S. Aid to Fund Abortions Around the World
2022-07-28
Because we're rollin' in money...
[NEWSWEEK] To expand access to abortion globally, Democrats introduced a bill—the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act—in the Senate on Wednesday that seeks to repeal the Helms Amendment.

Enacted in 1973, the Helms Amendment prohibits U.S. foreign aid from being used for abortion "as a method of family planning." In practice, it has banned all U.S. foreign assistance funds from being used for any abortion care.

"We know that many countries have used Roe to support liberalizing their abortion laws and now face challenges," Senator Tina Smith, one of the bill's co-leads, told Newsweek.

"That's why it's critical for the United States to help protect and expand access to reproductive health care."

#8   They also thought the old testament God was the Demiurge.

The Gnostics couldn’t bear the idea that God came first to the Jews for a reason, and that Jesus Christ himself was born into Jewish family for the same reason. And they loved the idea that they were privy to secret knowledge, whereas in general both Judaism and Christianity insist that that the knowledge is available for anyone who cares to look.

#7  Did you ever try to read any of the gnostic sludge? The "Gospel of Thomas" (which wasn't lost, btw; it was known in the east all along) is relatively readable, but still awful.

#6  My neighbor told me that the Christian Gnostics that got wiped out to the last man were on to something. They called Satan the Demiurge and demons Archons.
Whether that is literal or not, they said you can always detect pure evil by inversion, not partial, completely flipped. They were absolutely right. Some texts were burned in library of Alexandria arson, but some were later found in modern times, hidden in desert in Egypt.
This findings were some of the only unedited texts and there was no real arguments on their translation or authenticity. They are the earliest really. They also thought the old testament God was the Demiurge.

#2  Because war, conflict, and urban crime have failed to reduce these onerous carbon emitters fast enough. The globalist answer must include 'all of the above.'

Let us help you decide who mush live and who must die.
