Great Insight: "The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for.

"[The unborn are]... the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe." Here's the original FB post by Dave Barnhart:

Yes, morally simplistic, that's conservatives. Once you're not "unborn" anymore, you're troublesome BlancheSplanchnik May 2019 #4

They think it is something 'the wife' does while daddy is at work.

Indeed, I think some corrupt politicians and their corrupt supporters are using the "unborn" as window dressing to absolve themselves of their crimes and bad behavior - including their indifference to the real, preventable problems their greed has created for the already born.

Kinda like El Chapo going to church on Sunday to make sure everyone in the community sees him as a good and holy man after he has done all sorts of evil all week. Makes him feel good and holy. What's not to like? All for free! Call now!

or six weeks, or four weeks, or whatever stage of gestation about which they want to make claims.

That’s the beating heart of it before sperm even begins to think about getting dressed up and ready to meet egg.

But remember, in the Republican world, even the unborn don't get any help as far as things like prenatal care are concerned.

A fetus is just a tool, a means to an end for them.

"The unborn" is the first, foremost, and "purest" example, but they pull the same trick with other things too.

Innocent male sperm should be protected from wanton spillage. Make it a crime to deposit this precious, God-given life fluid anywhere other than its intended destination. Repeated illegal attempts to do so should be punishable by castration. Thus saith the Lord!
