  1. Some verses to consider: "May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” (Numbers 5:23 NIV) "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” (Hosea 13:16 NIV)

  2. Correction: Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons." Because, at a minimum, a "person" must be an entity that can experience pain (suffer, which fish can do), be aware of its surroundings (sentient, which the hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows slaughtered each day are), and can see itself as existing over time, or is self-aware (consciousness, which only dogs, dolphins, great apes, humans, and a few other species are capable of). A fetus, prior to the age of 18 weeks, is none of the above.

  3. George Carlin called out this blatant hypocrisy decades ago. "Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers." Fetuses prior to 18 weeks cannot suffer, and that infuriates them. So in order to maximize human misery, they seek to outlaw it so that those children can grow up in destitute and dysfunctional households with little no so social support, receive a poor quality education and either saddle themselves with student debt or serve in the armed forces, only to end up wounded/severely traumatized with no guaranteed healthcare and/or slaving away for a corporation for baseline wages, all the while ensuring maximum penalties for engaging in sexual activity, and finally growing old and retiring in little comfort due to a rapidly diminishing allowance in the form of Social Security. And then cycle repeats itself. That's the world Republicans want, whether they are cognizant of it or not.

  4. Good with me. In return, all I ask in return is that pro-lifers quit bombing abortion clinics and assassinating doctors. Deal?
