"Willful childlessness?"
I'm going to grab some popcorn and then I need details. How ever they imagine implementing this would be a shit-show of... well... biblical proportions.

I know the similarities aren't anything new, but: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-proposes-ban-child-free-lifestyle-rcna172616
willful childlessness is such a cool term, though. im adopting that for myself now.
Criminalizing "willful childlessness" and all this bullshit about "promoting childbearing" is just thinly veiled Nazism.
The Southern Baptists are Nazis.

And slavers. Literally. The Southern Baptist sect of Christianity only exists because in 1845 they wanted chattel slavery to not be a sin and to support its expansion. They are not good people and never have been.
I learned living in South Carolina for a spell that
Protestants don't recognize the pope as thier leader
Jews don't recognize Jesus as their king
Southern Babtists don't recognize each other in the liquor store
Fuck these clowns.
Jihadi christians at it again. Subhuman pigs.
shame that they didn't just stop at gambling on sports.
The nation's largest Protestant denomination
OUCH. burn_center.jpg
Baptists are not Protestants, by any stretch of the imagination, and hate being lumped in with them. They are a uniquely American bag of fruitcakes, loathe being called (basically) "not Catholics".
Not only hit 'em in the headline, did it a second again, explicitly. Here's hoping the author did that on purpose!
Baptist are Protestant by definition. They may not like being called that but that's what they are. Same with calling them pedophiles for that matter.
Point to the timeline where Baptists came into the Protestant Reformation. I guess we could just call all non-Catholics Protestants, but that sounds absurd.
SOURCE: 2 years of Advanced European History, by the best teacher I ever had.
The Baptist Church came from an offshoot of early English Puritan movements. If your teacher couldn't draw a line from the Protestant Revolution to English and Dutch Protestant movements straight to the birth of Anglican Church and from there the Schism of protestant ideals in England and their fleeing to America then they might not have been as good a teacher as you think they are. Or maybe you just didn't pay very good attention.
Here's an article from Baylor University, a famous Baptist University that should tell you more: https://magazine.web.baylor.edu/news/story/2008/baptist-story. This encyclopedia Britannica piece is a bit more detailed though: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Baptist
Just as an aside this whole thing hasn't been some inane Endeavor in which you're going to tell me that the Baptist Church came from John the Baptist are you? Cuz that's just a bullshit story they tell themselves you know that right?
Amen...now, my bothers and sisters, get out there and fuck someone! Oh that didn't sound right. You know what I mean!
5 Minutes later.... Oh! Not here brothers and sisters! Not here! Oh guys, one per costumer, and also not here! Sister! That's my private area! Sister! Oh! Guys, guys, not the backdoor! I said no! Get out of my backdoor! That's also my private!
