This is a university “professor”
You just can’t make this shit up
Professor Sophie Bjork-James also criticized pro-lifers for denying climate change and focusing solely on the issue of abortion.
The hyphenated name is the first clue that she’s bat chit crazy
Some pro-lifers point to the Bible to support their argument, “Yet many biblical scholars say abortion is actually not even really referenced in the Bible, and many argue that it is not a central ethical theme,” Bjork-James said.
She quoted Dallas Theological Seminary Professor Bruce Waltke, who wrote, “God does not regard the fetus as a soul, no matter how far gestation has progressed.”
Further, Bjork-James referenced historian Jennifer Holland, who “describes the anti-abortion movement as the civil rights movement for white people.”
Fun fact the vast majority of babies that are killed are black
Fetuses have become icons of life, representations of life itself and of one’s religious identity, she said. To pro-lifers, the fetus is “almost like a public good that must be protected,” she said.
If fetuses are positioned as the new hyper-marginalized group, then defending them becomes akin to participating in a new civil rights movement, the professor said.
Uh. No. Babies are Gods Creation. Thou shalt not not kill.
The professor also said the “anti-abortion movement” and “climate change denial” are “innately tied,” that both stem from evangelical support for capitalism and a theology that prioritizes human life over nature.
There is a “long history of organized opposition to environmentalism within evangelicalism,” she said.
She criticized evangelical theology for limiting the “moral theater” to humans, with a disposable view of the planet. Focusing only on abortion is a way to “pivot away from other issues,” she said.
“And I think that that is really what allows for them to consolidate their power within a broader conservative agenda” that “hurts a lot of people,” Bjork-James said.
Imagine that valuing human life. How awful
This is exhibit A why the government should not be funding Univesitied. Furthermore nut jobs like this are one reason why college tuition costs are out of control
