In this day and time, it is amazing that this lady had no clue. I bet she also did not know that the baby would then be sold out as parts, much in the same way we part out cars or buy meat in a butcher shop.... put that in her head and let in swim around. It is not pretty. dan

Thanks, Ish. That is a perfect demonstration of ideology conquering all. It doesn't matter that it's a baby. She will simply define it ("It hasn't left her body so it's not a baby even though it it is") in such a way that she will get her ends encoded into law. Similarly, PROLIFE and many other "conservatives" will simply define a fertilized ovum as a baby ("It has the potential over time and with favorable conditions to become a baby so it's a baby even though it isn't") to achieve their agenda, government enforcement of their religious precepts onto all citizens. That was a wonderful contribution. As I said, liberals and conservatives alike start with the end they want and stipulate definitions to get to it by whatever means necessary, including by demanding government intrusion into private matters or government exclusion from them, according to how the matters accord with their agenda. Conservatives are hypocrites when they claim otherwise. It is religious fascism to use the long, strong arm of the government to force your religiously stipulated definitions down the unwilling throats of those citizens who don't share them. I would be interested in your reaction to the New Republic article I posted.
