    This is an Aryan language, not a Dravidian/Tamil language.

    Abortion Laws

    This is not a proposal, it is a fact some women will not undergo a termination AND they will willingly give their child up for adoption. Fantastic source! I had a good read, and 22 weeks isn't even the gestation period to consider It has been proposed that transient, functional...

    Abortion Laws

    Some women who fall pregnant will never consider a termination of pregnancy, but they also understand that they are unable to provide for them. In this case the government already takes responsibility for the child as a ward of the state, or ideally become adopted. A very small percentage of...

    Abortion Laws

    The government doesn't need to care for all conceptions, only the ones that require it. My argument for 22 weeks is because it is 2 weeks shy of 24 weeks, which is the point when a premature baby can be viable. I'm confused by what you are saying. What costs does a fetus require that are...

    Abortion Laws

    I agree your argument would encourage more women to carry a pregnancy, but I don't see how this would be relevant to 22 weeks. Unless you are saying it is only socially disadvantaged women who seek termination at that point? There is a difference between light sedation and anaesthesia, and...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    I think Bart Ehrman has moved away from looking at who wrote what and when, and instead to the spiritual message of the Christian scriptures.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Only that Shraddha and Sara do sound similar if taking into account the sh being sa instead. We see the Sanskrit influence of the sh in Tamil language now also.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I agree, apart from the flood story there is no relevant connection between Noah and Manu or their wives.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    There are certainly similarities if taking into account the flood story in the Hebrew and Sanskrit scriptures. Except the name Sraddha sounds more like Sara, who was Abraham’s wife. Same as Iksvaku and Isaac.

    Australia: Federal Court finds Pauline Hanson racially discriminated against Mehreen Faruqi in 'angry personal attack' tweet

    The only penalty for Pauline was Faruqi’s legal fees so not sure if it is going to be a deterrent for everyone else.

    Abortion Laws

    I note you draw the line at 22 weeks due to the potential for the fetus to feel pain, which is fair enough. The argument that a woman could reconsider termination at 22 weeks if the Australian government had a structure for social support is a bit of a long bow. I think if the government was...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I should not have written first, but I would say she was a mother to all by her giving of the Tamil language. I read more on this, and it seems many opinions are negative about Naamah, even though there is no mention of her in such a way in the scriptures...
