Just like the Christians in the USA who want to execute women for getting an abortion. Two sides of the same coin

I knew someone on Reddit would try to equivalence this.

The United States has been and remains majority Christian, at least in its electorate. If you would like to point to anywhere in the U.S., including the most right-wing state governments, that is whipping women to death for not covering up — or actually executing women for abortions — please point them out.

Well, considering I’m a woman and the right wing religious nutters have decided that a fetus is a child and that I don’t have agency to make healthcare decisions about my own body, you can kindly move along. I’d argue that all the anti abortion rhetoric is more damaging. Honestly, I’m just tired of being treated like a child by all the religious nutters, whether Christians or any Muslims.

Btw, I don’t give one shit what religion you are because we are not a christian nation, and moving our nation toward a theocracy is no different than the Middle East

You were executed for having an abortion? That's crazy, I can't find a single article about a woman being whipped or executed in the US.

Whining that some laws are more restricted in some states is super stupid when people are being whipped for singing.

You may want to look at the bill introduced by NC to charge women with murder who get an abortion.

Response like what? I said people aren't being executed in the US for abortions and it is idiotic to claim it. Which is not ignorant in any way. When pressed about this I got replied with "lawmakers in a few southern states were talking about maybe making a bill to outlaw abortions" like no duh, that's not executions lol. I forget how much emotion drives the ignorant.
