Prosecuting Paivi Rasanen For Quoting The Bible Is Making Her An International Star
The Federalist ^ | August 15, 2022 | Joy Pullmann

Paivi Rasanen must make God laugh. The 27-year member of Finland’s Parliament on trial for tweeting a Bible verse confounds so many pagan slogans.

She’s a mother of five children and grandmother of 10 who didn’t need abortion to simultaneously pull off two demanding careers: medicine and politics. An empathetic woman who eagerly shows pictures of grandbabies on her phone and expresses concern for strangers’ travel plans, Paivi (pie-EE-vee) also refuses to subjugate her reason to emotional manipulation.

She holds fast to Christian teachings about sex as reserved exclusively for lifelong marriage between one man and one woman, for which she’s been prosecuted and investigated now for three years and will be in court again this November. Her case could affect international law and is a foreboding example of where identity politics policies are quickly heading across the world.

“If we break the gender system and if we break the natural marriage system between one man and one woman, then we have dangerous consequences, especially to children,” Paivi told The Federalist in person this summer in Chicago.

Stage one was de-criminalizing same-sex unions and activities.

Stage two was criminalizing any criticism of same-sex unions and activities.

You can tell the difference between conservatives and leftists. Conservative women display love and happiness. Leftist women display bitterness and unhappiness.

You would have thought the good doctor was quoting Mein Kampf. Even then, it appears freedom of speech has become highly selective in Finland.

You said it! Liberal women are always angry at everything. They die old, alone, and bitter to the end.

And conservative women are strikingly beautiful. Liberal women, on the other hand, are a bunch of haggard old witches.

Conservative women are also quite typically attractive & beautiful. Liberal/Leftist women are ugly hags and the definition of "feminism" from the late great Rush Limbaugh: they're ugly women who can't get dates.

I think it goes even deeper than that: they consider it offensive that they should make an effort to take care of themselves, stay in shape, and make themselves attractive.
