Quote from Mercor:
Why is a fetus considered property, same as a turd untill 90 days but at 91 days it starts to have its own legal rights.
How can this be based on logic?
I didn't say fetus is considered property, I said taking a dump on someone else's property isn't a good analogy to what someone does to their own body.
Quote from Free Thinker:
You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.â
â Bertrand Russell, Why I am Not a Christian, 1927
"..Assuming the breakup of the family and the establishment of rationally conducted state institutions for children, it will probably be found necessary to go a step further in the substitution of regulation for instinct. Women accustomed to birth control and not allowed to keep their own children would have little motive for enduring the discomfort of gestation and the pain of childbirth. Consequently, in order to keep up the population it would probably be necessary to make childbearing a well-paid profession, not of course to be undertaken by all women or even by a majority, but only by a certain percentage who would have to pass tests as to their fitness from a stock-breeding point of view...."

It is amazing how much of this poor demented mans rantings have found their way into the democratic party.
Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
How many innocent deaths do you estimate the Catholic Church is responsible for in the 2000 years the "church" has done its work?
Certainly a sizable amount, however, I doubt the number even comes close to the number of innocent deaths that have occurred at the hands of left wing governments in 1/20th of the time.
Quote from peilthetraveler:
According to what you believe, then you are basically a lump of cells, so if someone kills you, they are just killing a bunch of cells. Its this moronic thinking that dehumanizes people that then makes it ok to kill unborn children.
On the other hand, a fertilized egg 1 day after conception is clearly not a sentient life, it doesn't even have a brain or heart. It's pretty much just a bunch of cells.

Darn, you just reminded me I was going to post "every sperm is sacred", but you've beat me to the point.

Catholic nuns urge passage of Obama's health bill
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press Writer Ricardo Alonso-zaldivar, Associated Press Writer â Wed Mar 17, 10:14 am ET
WASHINGTON â Catholic nuns are urging Congress to pass President Barack Obama's health care plan, in an unusual public break with bishops who say it would subsidize abortion.
Some 60 leaders of religious orders representing 59,000 Catholic nuns Wednesday sent lawmakers a letter urging them to pass the Senate health care bill. It contains restrictions on abortion funding that the bishops say don't go far enough.
The letter says that "despite false claims to the contrary, the Senate bill will not provide taxpayer funding for elective abortions." The letter says the legislation also will help support pregnant women and "this is the real pro-life stance."
