Religious beliefs include theistic beliefs (i.e. those that include a belief in God) as well as non-theistic “moral or ethical beliefs as to what is right and wrong which are sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views.”
One religion believes in God. Another believes in Buddha. That does not mean one is right and the other is wrong.
Therefore, Pro-Choice is a religion and Pro-Life is a religion. They can coexist.
B.US Constitution – First Amendment Defined Rights of Religion
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …
C. Therefore, Pro-Choice AND Pro-Life shall be exercised anywhere in our nation.

Three seemingly random characters are running for their lives in this fictional thriller.
BROKEN DEMOCRACY
The book “Tyranny of the Minority” has 15 points to be implemented to fix our Democracy. But they are mostly about voting rights which are hard to quantify and get passed.
Likewise, Bernie Sander’s “Our Revolution” has lots of voting rights proposals. He also has a lot of financial reform proposals but misses the core problems.
“The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism” blames banks and the 1% for our problems but misses the fact that the underlying problem is our broken Capitalist Democracy and concepts allowed under Citizens United.
“The Assassination of a Broken Democracy” uses a thriller story to subliminally propose getting rid of 10 problems that did not exist 200 years ago. Some of the 10 problems include gerrymandering, filibuster and super PACs.
“Tyranny” and “Revolution” propose changing some of these but offer no process to get change done.
On the other hand, “Assassination” proposes a solution to eliminate these problems which did not exist 200 years ago.
Originalists like SCOTUS Judge Alito want to put us back 200 years. Since these 10 problems did not exist 200 years ago, they should agree to get rid of them.
