Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, a conservative Republican, says that the blame for California’s historic drought can be laid at the feet of it’s allwing freedom to have an abortion.

And I thought the governor of Kansas(my state) was bad.
Ms. Grove seems to feel that one’s politics can influence the weather?
When I read the subject line, I bet that it was either some fruitcake from Berkeley claiming it was the alignment of the planetary woo crystals, or caused by fracking in the northeast, or something…
…or a righty claiming it’s Gawd’s judgment.
Even if God existed, the idea that He’d control the weather to punish abortion is asinine. The Christian God is supposed to be omnibenevolent. So why the fuck would he randomly punish a bunch of asshole conservative farmers for city folk flushing their sin-babies?
The crowd in SoCal that thinks they have an inalienable right to as much water as they need to be profitable is not particularly sane.
I got banned from a hobby forum because I made a mild comment about the “congress-made dustbowl” farms along I-5. In the equivalent of the board’s Pit. The owner/mod turned out to be a water rights lawyer in Bakersfield.
Abortions? That woman is an idiot. Everyone knows that abortions cause earthquakes. Weather related disasters are caused by the gays! This is, like, grade school science.
I read once that gay women will get pregnant by gay men, just so they can abort the babies.
It’s a resolution problem. God misclicked.
Doing some more poking around on the SDMB I found a mention of Shannon Grove in an Elections thread from 2014. The poster gave this link mentioning her.
You have to remember that Bakersfield is the reason California will never split into two states. Both parts would insist that the other one take Bakersfield.
Wait, didn’t God also send the floods in Texas to punish Houston for electing a lesbian mayor?
If not enough rain is God’s punishment for sexual deviancy, and too much rain is also God’s punishment for sexual deviancy, then I don’t know what we’re doing in my part of the country in order to be getting exactly the right amount of rain.
And we’ve also got a gay mayor in our largest city, so whatever else we’re doing, God must be way into it.
Look, it’s all very ineffable, all right ? Just shut the fuck up, keep tithing and don’t worry your pretty little head about it. GAWD, it’s not rocket science !
He’ll get to it. He can’t be everywhere at once, you know.
California here. Sexual deviancy capital of the United States. So when do we get our torrential rains already?
You obviously didn’t bother to read the link in OP, otherwise you’d know the answer:
I thought it was because she was wearing a fabric blend.
Leviticus 19:19
“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.
Damn cattle breeders too. Perhaps we should stamp them out.
I thought it was just mixing linen and wool that brought down God’s wrath. Do I have to worry about cotton/poly, too?
Umm… No. Dancing naked on top of a mountain causes earthquakes! Haven’t you been watching the news??
A customer we used to work for in California once said that the only reason Bakersfield exists is so you can go through it to get to somewhere else.
Regarding the OP, I kept waiting to hear from the “God’s Wrath” crowd after all the recent flooding in Texas, but nope not a peep.
You haven’t been keeping up with the Bryan Fischer news, then.
