    I get the sentiment, but if you eat ice cream on Mondays you are just evil. Ice cream clearly is a Tuesday treat. /s

      I mean, this but its unironic. “Eating ice cream on mondays in the park is murder and if I catch you doing it I’m going to treat you like I would if I saw you committing a murder”.

      I don’t really like this comic, because it trivializes what is generally seen as a serious medical issue. A ban on ice cream would be vastly preferable to a ban on abortion, as you’re not going to die from a lack of ice cream. This feels more akin to a Christian Scientist passing a statewide ban on blood transfusions.

        To be fair, this comic isn’t just about abortion. It could also apply to things like “modesty” laws in places like Iran.

        It doesn’t matter what the ice cream represents. If the argument for a law is wholly religious in nature, then it is unjust.

          Yep. My first thought was a flashback to Catholic school where they were trying to take away my roast beef sandwich and give me a fish sandwich cause it was Friday. They already knew I wasn’t Catholic, or even Christian, they just didn’t know what I was because they weren’t about to find out.
