1. Because we should all go against the families wishes

because women are only meant to carry children and nothing else.

2. The moderator should have asked each candidate:

Who should be financially obligated for paying to keep the incubator going and taking care of the baby if it is born with serious medical problems incurred by the process? It is bad enough for the state (and hospital) to go against the wishes of the patient and her family but an insult to injury to expect them to pay the bill.

3. A rethuglican moderator ask a tough question?

That will be a wild dream indeed

4. Four white men

Why am I not surprised.

5. Fools, all of them.

6. To what ghoulish end?

The woman was brain dead and the fetus had "abnormalities" and might not even survived long had it- by some miracle- been finally birthed. And none of them I'm sure were offering to pay the bills for keeping all of this going I bet. This sort of thing is the ultimate extension of the anti-choice mentality and it's creepy IMHO. It is clear from this that they really don't see women as anything but incubators and fetuses as sacrosanct above all else.

7. The fetus was so deformed that they couldn't even tell what sex it was.

I guess that's not surprising considering it was growing inside a dead woman. God, that just makes my skin crawl. How could anybody think it's a good idea to keep a fetus alive inside a dead woman? I guess those people have deformed minds or something.

10. Absolute ideological purity

That's all that matters to these types.

8. Don't you love Republican primaries? Who can agree with each other the most?

It's like the Nirvana of group think, I agree with you all, but I agree the most.

[hatrack]

9. Terri Schiavo v. 2.0

If the Pukes really think that this "pro-life" stance is going to be a feather in their electoral cap, I think they're in for a serious kick in the ass.

"Small government" couldn't possibly get more intrusive, more arrogant, more invasive than this.

FUCK all four of these people,
