The same imbeciles who proclaim that a non-citizen person does not have 'rights' also proclaim that a non-person blastocyst/embryo/fetus does have 'rights'? :crazy:

I've always thought that a 'citizen' was either naturalized or born (notice the past tense?) in the U.S. :freak:

How come these people want to outlaw abortion education overseas? Are those "unborn babies" regarded as "unnaturalized citizens"?

Imbeciles.

1. Because they believe that what you say is a "non-person" is a

"person". To debate on this issue, you have to accept that is what THEY believe, and move on from there.

2. I've developed a theory

That heaven is nothing more than a giant factory run by a greedy corporate CEO (God.) The souls that go to heaven are ultimately nothing more than worker drones in the big factory.

God gets pissed when a fetus is aborted because a fetus soul can't work on the assembly line. Then he has to open up a nursery for all the fetus souls and that just ratchets up his overhead.

It's for the best if these babies are born, live a retched horrible life for a few years and THEN die so they are actually able to work in the heaven factory...

4. An interesting inconsistency in their moral reasoning.

What these conservatives really believe is that they have the right to confer human rights on whoever they find deserving.

6. Sometimes I think ...

... they've got their 'property rights' circuits scrambled with their 'human rights' circuits and regard a blastocyst as having both -- as though property had rights (like a magical cape).

The insanity is compounded when I hear 'em spew about 'moral relativism.' :crazy: :puke:

"Conceived in the USA."
