Hooray for Judge Mitch Perry! Finally someone is pushing back against the root cause of the problem: that Christians want to shove their religion down our throats. There is absolutely no scientific basis for the notion that personhood starts at conception. A fetus does not possess consciousness. When an adult is in that state we call it brain dead and we pull the plug. Like so many other crazy notions coming from the religious right, the idea of personhood beginning at conception, or when the heart starts beating, is nowhere represented in the Bible. Rather, the Old Testament says that life begins after birth, with the first breath. The current Christian misinterpretation is something that Christian nationalists invented to be wielded as wedge issue in the political sphere. It has nothing to do with science or healthcare or even morality. It is merely a club used to beat us all over the head and shoulders. It's high time we did some maintenance on the wall of separation between church and state. Better to lay those bricks in mortar than to be hurling them at one another. Just sayin.
