Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you 2MARS and don't try and turn the idea of a secular state upside down with patriotic bromides and slogans into a religion. If you're going to examine "every child a wanted child" take a loot at the root of where it is coming from. "The idea's roots go deeper. The notion of planning pregnancies is at least as old as Margaret Sanger's efforts to make contraceptives legal at the turn of the twentieth century. Meanwhile, 'every child a wanted child' has long been a slogan of the pro-choice and abortion rights movements. In current discussions about lesbian and gay parenting the idea is resurfacing, with leaders often proudly claiming that 'none of our children are accidents' (1). Overall, it seems to make sense that children who are wanted at the outset will have a better shot at becoming happy, healthy young people. " A guy that works for our company has nine children with another on the way and they are the happiest wanted children you could imagine. I give Michelle Bachman full credit for having 28 wanted children. And there are many relics associated with Jesus, why on earth would a lock of hair make a lick spittle of difference for his life, death or resurrection? en.wikipedia.org "If you did not understand the connection then don't run with it" I admit I don't understand the connection you were trying to make between locks of Jesus hair and da Vinci.

"Since da Vinci was illigitimate does not follow he was unwanted or would have been aborted" It is all nice to discuss--but irrelevant. All species do what they do. Many of them eat their kids. It is always up to us to decide. I think it ought to start with human rights and freedoms and then focus on human rights and freedoms. I understand that every sperm or piece of wood burned is an "abortion". But on the other hand I follow the knowledge of Lucetius. So we must avoid contradictions that dismiss rights and reality. On the other hand...there is no need for abortion (in the technical sense). People can avoid PREGNANCIES. And that would satisfy Brum and greger because they are both CLUELESS!!
