      I’m Christian but I could not give the slightest shit about abortion. I worked for a gyne that performed them and saw the pathology reports all the time. It’s literally a little spongy hemorrhagic tissue they are removing. It’s such a nothing, and when you see the waiting room full of women you realize that EVERYONE across cultures and religions get abortions. I saw Mennonite women and women in full burqas out there, and Christian women praying on their knees.

      Have the procedure and get on with your life. Don’t let a few cells get in the way of your plans. It’s a decision between you and your doctor and nobody else.

      Incidentally I offered on Facebook to mail any American women the abortion pill, and Facebook immediately banned me for 30 days for selling illicit substances. I ended up being interviewed by Vice about it funnily enough.

      Having people run around speaking in tongues isn’t really something that most Christian denominations do. It’s specific to a couple. IIRC the big one is the Pentecostals. Snow Crash had a plot that centered around that, kinda took some digs at the Pentecostal church.

      googles

      Yeah, sounds like it.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecostalism

      With over 279 million classical Pentecostals worldwide, the movement is growing in many parts of the world, especially the Global South and Third World countries.[10][11][12][13][14]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity

      Christianity (/krɪstʃiˈænɪti/ or /krɪstiˈænɪti/) is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It is the world’s largest and most widespread religion with roughly 2.4 billion followers, comprising around 31.2% of the world population.

      So you’re talking about a denomination that’s a little over 10% of Christianity. That’s not nothing, but it’s also not really representative.

      Honestly speaking, he’s just not a good Christian. If he’s condemning the actions of others, while praying in public for attention, he’s not following Jesus.
