In the Bible, there’s a famous passage where Jesus saves a woman from being stoned to death as a punishment for committing adultery. He tells people in the group trying to kill her that they should only throw a stone if they are personally free of sin, and the crowd disperses.
A recent profile of North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Bo Hines evokes the Biblical scene of punishment and shame, minus the stones.
In a report from Bryan Anderson of WRAL, Hines said he wants victims of rape and incest seeking abortion to go through “a community-level review process outside the jurisdiction of the federal government.”
