I think when governments use religious beliefs to enforce laws, rather than open-mindedly deciding what it best for the people concerned, then we have a big problem. Religious beliefs are the absolute right of the people who have them, but they should never be enforced on all people through laws that put religion ahead of human need.mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-6520602355050035212015-06-15T19:38:50.861+01:002015-06-15T19:38:50.861+01:00I've been trying to get a comment in here and ...I've been trying to get a comment in here and they've just been disappearing. So I'll try one more time.<br /><br />Your comments are very well thought out and very appropriate.<br />They put me in mind of the situation in the US where state governments feel they can limit women and girls from obtaining abortions without going through difficult (and often ugly) obstructions. Now any group or church can exhort it's followers to be against abortion (or anything else). And they can tell them to evangelize these ideas to others. But the government has no place making limitations that are simply based on beliefs. As in your comment, forcing one's beliefs on others is a bad situation, and when the government interferes simply based on a belief system, it is restrictive. And it follows the line of a patriarchy allowing it's privileges only for special persons--not accepting that women and girls are quite capable, by themselves, of dealing with their bodies, their situations, and their medical needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-6776073084558639552015-06-14T11:41:32.112+01:002015-06-14T11:41:32.112+01:00Thanks! :)Thanks! :)mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-63043903912211124692015-06-14T11:41:20.991+01:002015-06-14T11:41:20.991+01:00Thank you! :)Thank you! :)mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-9909407954772400762015-06-13T23:42:17.417+01:002015-06-13T23:42:17.417+01:00Eloquent and thoughtful - excellent reflection Eloquent and thoughtful - excellent reflection Bonnie Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813024239481434223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-15140279360961183152015-06-13T20:45:38.318+01:002015-06-13T20:45:38.318+01:00I could not have said this better myself.
