Why don't pro-lifers celebrate the date of their conception?

[rucky]

What would it be called? Zygote Day?

Would there be cake? Gifts? Singing?

Maybe a game of pin the sperm on the egg?

1. Correction: Anti-choicers.

[HereSince1628]

2. It requires thinking about their mom and dad having sex

that's way too disturbing to allow any celebrating.

6. lol nt

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Most "pro-lifers" are only interested in controlling others lives

and appearing superior to others in the process. If they were truly pro-life, they would also care about those who are already born, not just embryos and fetuses.

[TBF]

4. ^^^ this ^^^ nt

[treestar]

21. this is it

They just don't really care about it, just about controlling sex and having a stick to hit people with over having it with those deemed inappropriate by them.

[Demonaut]

5. cause people were fucking that day..............

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. And that could lead to dancing!

[Quantess]

20. Even more shocking for those who were born in late September...

9 months earlier their parents fucked on Jesus' birthday.
Heavens to Betsy, how INAPPROPRIATE!

7. dad slips one past the goalie day nt

[Heather MC]

14. Birth Control Fail Day nt

[eShirl]

8. Because penis + vagina.

[CTyankee]

27. OH, NO.

[rug]

9. A 72 hour window is too big.

[JoePhilly]

12. Just make it a long week-end celebration.

[Uben]

10. Do you know the date you were conceived?

Yeah, me neither, that's why.

[arely staircase]

11. my sister in law swears my niece was conceived super bowl sunday 2001

she was one of those have sex on her most fertile days, test regularly trying to get pregnant types. the allies put less planning into D-Day

[pipi_k]

15. I don't either, but

that doesn't mean my mom wouldn't know. Not that I'd want her to tell me, though. That would be too weird.


OTOH, I do know the exact dates two of my three children were conceived, and have an inkling about the third.

[Uben]

32. I have a pretty good idea when my first was conceived......

....but not the second. I know we all have/had those times when it could only be a certain date, mine was my fifth anniversary. Infrequent intimacy gives one a pretty good idea.

[rucky]

22. I'm afraid I do.

My parents told me the story, and I can't unremember that.

[intaglio]

16. I thought they were forced birth advocates

and I think they might hire a clown car.

[CrispyQ]

17. Pin the sperm on the egg.

[Chan790]

19. Some of them, including apocryphally Sarah Palin, do.

Really. I was stunned. I Googled it thinking "Well, there's probably some moron..." only to discover that this is a thing...a real thing that actually has some traction in the moron-sphere.

Globally it has more acceptance than in the Americas, with a greater logical basis. Conception celebrations and measuring age from conception are common in many global cultures, including most of East Asia, many (but not all...I could not find a measure of what %) Muslim cultures and some Jewish communities.

23. Why hasn't one of the anti-choicers ...

... try to get a dependent tax deduction for a child conceived in the previous year. If they truly believe that life begins at conception, then they should take a moral stand and deduct the little fetus on the year of conception, not the year of the birth.

Let's see if the IRS puts the anti-choicers in the slammer.

[rurallib]

24. Much of the westrn world celebrates mine

it's called christmas

[BrotherIvan]

25. Because it most often predates their parent's anniversary

[NuclearDem]

26. Because they would have to think of icky icky sex.

[Packerowner740]

28. Probably because most don't know when conception occurred.

[Initech]

29. If there's a miscarriage how come there's no funeral?

[texanwitch]

31. I was a surprise baby.

Wasn't planned, really wasn't planned.

A lot of us got here that way.
