The bible allows slavery too, but try to use that argument in court!

I hear what you're saying but I'd rather not risk that possibility in today's political climate.

I'd rather not have caning or slavery

No don’t. Seeing how courts are using Bible as an excuse to bring on full blown christo-fascism, those judges might not think twice before legalizing slavery.

This story is from the UK. They don’t have a 13th amendment.

That too allows slavery.

Yes, that's my point.

This is one of those times I truly wish we could do to her what she did to her child....over and over and over again.

Oh but don't worry it's totally alright, she will get the same treatment or worse after she dies for eternity in hell /s

Pretty sure the bible actively encourages childmurder.

For a second I read "canning" and I had a different image of what she did to the child....

I mean....she's not wrong.
Luckily we don't live by those rules any more mostly.
