(32,324 posts)Why are there two standards of morality?
Why is it wrong for someone to have an abortion, so wrong that the women will be denied the ability to join a Church (Mormons, for instance, will not allow some woman who in the past has had an abortion, to join their religion.) And in many religions, the individual is told they will die and go to burn in Hellfire for eternity.
Yet many of the Biggest Donors to various Conservative-On-Women's-Right-To Choose Churches are involved in companies that they own, where women conceive and miscarry CONTINUALLY, and the miscarriages are the direct result of the workplace conditions?
One link on the matter:

Women who work in the Semi Conductor Industry often went to fertility experts,a s they believed that they and their partner were not able to conceive. But in many cases, such couples were told they were indeed conceiving - but the workplace chemicals caused an early miscarriage, as the pregnancy was lost before the woman even knew she was pregnant.
This situation is not confined to the SC industry.
