Study Says Republicans Aren’t Taking Social Distancing Seriously

Trump and Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and all of Trump’s other acolytes are probably getting people killed—and it’s concentrated among the people who voted for Trump in the first place. That’s an irony, I suppose, but not one I can take much pleasure in.

Quote:What about the formation and continuation of megachurches in the first place? Despite the fact that public prayer was enjoined against by Jesus himself (if you believe the NT).

I'm not a good christian, but yanno, even I can recognize hypocrisy in the service of ego when I see it. And it's not limited to republican christians.

It IS funny on so MANY levels! And clever in its use of a common phrase ... that... coming from a Church, could be taken literally.
The sign actually says, "For the love of God do what Dr. Bonnie says." My typeo, my bad.
But it is a very clever sign and maybe more churches will pick it up and use it.

Yeah. What Kiki said.
Democrats are more likely to be Godless heathens than Republicans, but there are plenty of Democrat Christians out there too.
Some of them that are old and already sick might argue that going to church is more important than social distancing.
Then you've got Muslims. Nobody is going to claim that there are a lot of Republican Muslims running around out there. Some of them are even willing to strap on a vest made of bombs just for shits and giggles when we're not all on lockdown either.
Oh... and BTW... You better give Wishy the memo here. She's under the impression that entire black communities were targeted by the virus via the racist Trump administration.
And the last time I checked, black Americans overwhelmingly voted against Trump in 2016.

Texas Blames Abortion for Spreading the Virus, but It’s the State That Has Put Millions at Risk
https://theintercept.com/2020/04/08/texas-abortion-coronavirus/
Elected officials in Texas have so far been the most enthusiastic about exploiting the viral outbreak to strip residents of reproductive autonomy in favor of scoring political points with anti-abortion supporters. It’s unsurprising that the state has charged headlong into defending its across-the-board abortion ban despite its obvious constitutional defect.
But it’s important to note that many Texas officials — including Gov. Abbott and Atty General Paxton — loathe health care access in general. They have refused to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, saying that it’s just “wrong” for Texas, despite the fact that a majority of Texans favor expansion. Texas has among the most stringent rules for Medicaid eligibility in the U.S., a problem that has left more than 750,000 residents in the so-called coverage gap, earning too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to qualify for offsets under the ACA.
Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people in the country, with a whopping 18 percent of residents without health insurance; 26 percent of women of reproductive age lack insurance, more than double the national average. And the state has done a pretty miserable job of taking care of the kids who are already here. More than 1.5 million Texas children live in poverty, 9 percent have no health insurance, and 23 percent live with food insecurity. One would think that amid a public health crisis, these would be the sorts of facts that would keep Texas officials up at night, worrying about how the spread of the disease might cripple the state and kill its residents.

Hmmmm... that article doesn't say anything about what you started your post off with.
No thoughts on Republican Muslims, huh?

Quote:There is more at https://theintercept.com/2020/04/08/texas-abortion-coronavirus/ but the Texas Attorney General has, ever since being elected, been maneuvering to prove "Abortion = Murder" and arrest women and keep them in jail. Since that has been shot down in Federal court, he is now using "Abortion = Murder by Covid-19". That has not yet been shot down by courts.
In a brief filed with the federal district court on March 30, Paxton made this argument: If clinics continue to provide abortion care, they’re bound to come into contact with individuals who have Covid-19 and will therefore spread the virus by treating them. After all, he wrote, “women travel from other locations to receive abortions at their clinics, and traveling to other parts of the state is exactly what is causing the spread of the virus.”
As for Republican Muslims, 13% of Muslims are Republican or lean in that direction.

What he's saying is that now is not a good time for girls getting fucked while not taking proper precautions.
I can't have adjustments done to my dentures right now unless it constitutes an emergency or get a haircut either.
They make pills, and they're cheap and easy to obtain even without parental consent, and pharmacies are considered essential business. I suggest that women use them. Murdering babies is probably on the list of non-essential activities for the foreseeable future.

I bet a Republican Muslim never wore a boom boom vest.
I'm also willing to bet that a far greater number of Christians are Democrats than 13% as well.

Quote:The very first paragraph of the story said that the Texas Attorney General, using Covid-19 as the "justification" or his excuse, had declared it a crime to possess that drug you are talking about.

On March 23, Jane Doe’s life turned upside down. That night, she got a phone call from the Fort Worth, Texas, abortion clinic where she had an appointment scheduled for the next day to receive the drugs that would complete her medication abortion. The appointment, the clinic worker told her, was canceled. “I started to cry, and she cried too,” Doe recalled in a sworn statement filed March 30 in a lawsuit against the state. Just hours before the 24-year-old student and recently unemployed restaurant server got the news, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had declared that amid the Covid-19 outbreak, all abortion would be banned in the state. Providers that defied the order would be punished, he warned, potentially by criminal prosecution and incarceration.

The Premier of British Columbia John Horgan made a special amendment to his list of essential services. It is only for this weekend but Premier Horgan has declared that the Easter Bunny is an essential service. Of course the Premier has stated that the Easter Bunny follow Dr. Bonnie Henry's orders which include social distancing when delivering his eggs and washing his paws at each stop.
I have no doubt that other Premiers will be following suit along with the Prime Minister.
This is done to make the littlest citizens feel better.
