So as far as the "pro-lfe" crowd goes

[SHRED]

The ones who claim life begins at fertilization of the egg.

I'm curious...Why aren't they marching at fertility clinics considering the amount of fertilized eggs that get tossed out at these places?

1. Don't give em any ideas. :)

2. Because it's not about abortion.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It's not about prenatal life at all and it never was. If it were, the anti-choicers would be promoting accurate and thorough sex education, free contraception, complete and free prenatal care, and all forms of assistance to young children and their families.

Abortion was seized upon by the GOP back in the '70s as a way to recruit evangelicals politically; before that, they generally avoided politics and considered it corrupting to their faith.

What the abortion issue IS about is control of women and it always was. Remember this and never forget it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017301181

3. They would prefer to have them all implanted into unwilling women

to be incubated into what they call "snowflake babies."

While donated fertilized ova have been implanted into willing women, that's a completely different matter. The far right gets off on the "unwilling" part of the whole idea. They universally despise women.

4. God didn't fertilize them, humans did.

Therefore they are not worthy of their time.


When questioning the actions of people like this, always start with "'cause God...." and it will all become clear.
