To wrap up this month-long series on abortion, it's time to talk about the religious aspect of abortion. I saved this one for last because it's easily the most controversial part of the abortion debate. According to Pew Research Center, as of 2023-2024, 95% of atheists, 94% of agnostics, and 80% of secularists believe that... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Does God Support Abortion?
Spoiler Alert: No. God does not support abortion. I had never heard this claim before until I got into my argument with an atheist. Not only did it sound like a stupid claim from the offset (which it was), but it was also one that's a total misreading of Numbers 5:11-31, which is where critics... Continue Reading →
Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 3: The Legality of Abortion
One of the many things that pro-abortion activists like to throw around is the idea that abortion is a constitutional right and to take it away (such as in the overturning of Roe v. Wade) is unconstitutional. The most common amendment that the pro-abortion side cites (which was used in 1973 to pass Roe v.... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does God Condone Rape?
Continuing our series addressing questions brought up by deconstructors, one of the accusations that I've recently run across is that the Bible condones rape, specifically that Numbers 31 condones it, which I will address in this post. Of course, this is yet another dumb claim that, when looked at in context, can easily be debunked,... Continue Reading →
Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 2: Ethical and Moral Dilemmas
In a study published by the Lozier Institute in 2023 reviewing 1000 women ages 41-45, it was found that 67% of women considered their abortions to be "“accepted but inconsistent with their values and preferences” (43%) or “unwanted or coerced” (24%)". Meanwhile, only 33% of women in the study wanted their abortion and 60% would've... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is God (and the Bible) Misogynistic?
After last Friday's break from this series, we're back with another claim, though I hadn't seriously heard of this accusation until a few months ago. Did I know that some people claimed that the Bible is evil because of that gosh darn patriarchy? Yes. Did I take it seriously? No. I thought it was just... Continue Reading →
Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 1: The Science
"Trust the science." It's a phrase that we heard a lot during the COVID era. For example, we were told to "trust the science" that the vaccine worked; to "trust the science" that masks helped stop the spread; to "trust the science" that there were no dangerous side effects from the vaccine or its subsequent...

Blog: Happy Women’s History Month. People Still Don’t Know What a Woman Is.
At this point, anything having to do with Rick Riordan or his publishing imprint, Read Riordan, has become a reliable content cow for this blog since they just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut about cultural issues that are particularly dangerous for teens. In today’s episode of Rick Riordan/Disney being stupid, I’ll be providing... Continue Reading →
