3. So is he jealous they have more advanced

reasoning capacity than he enjoys?

[pinkpops]

5. Tom Delay started out as a

turd. He is now a big turd.

[smoogatz]

6. By extension

I was a sperm in my father's nutsac, too, but that don't make every sperm the holiest of holies.

[Arugula Latte]

13. Au contraire.

From "Monty Python's Meaning of Life":

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

20. Well, I can't argue with the boys

Sing it with me: "Always look on the bright side of life..."

[Anywho6]

7. Ah, yes...

...and when Bush recently said that he was "very concerned about cloning," I took one long look at him and thought, "Wow! So am I!"

:crazy:

8. Sure, And We All Were A Twinkle In Our Mother's And Father's Eyes...

....ONCE. But that does not mean we were a living, breathing, functioning creature.

[Coexist]

9. a female human is born with every egg she will ever posess

so when we kill an Iraqi or Afghan woman or girl, or put a female felon to death, technically we are killing many, many babies - does that not wash with their logic?

[Stand and Fight]

10. Hot Damn!!

Excellent argument -- I will have to use this one next time I am engaging one of those pro-war, pro-death penalty, anti-abortion nitwits!

[Coexist]

35. actually maybe I shouldn't have said anything "wink"

they might fly a task force over there to harvest the eggs.

[stanwyck]

22. excellent point, FLDem5

where is the culture of life for the Iraqi people? Frist and Delay need to get on a plane and fly to Iraq now. They can take all the Schaivo hysterics (who now have nothing to do) with them. More media attention. More drama. And maybe they'll learn a little more about the "culture of life" being played out every day in Iraq.

[insane_cratic_gal]

11. so when I ovulate

Am I killing unborn babies?

Or when teenage boy masturbates, he too is killing unborn babies!

[lectrobyte]

12. and when I uh, commit the sin of Onan, as it were...

oh the humanity!

[northzax]

14. no I wasn't

I sprung full grown from the head of Zeus.

[Coexist]

15. that liar!

there has been nothing of any scientific value to come of embryonic stem cell research???

16. We cannot continue to allow

unknowledgable, ignorant people to make critical decisions for us...

[gollygee]

17. I saw a bumper sticker yesterday

"Former Fetus Against Abortion"

:eyes:

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Ugh. I saw one that said

"Thank your mother for not having an abortion" :eyes:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

34. "Former Sperm against tight pants for men"

[Coexist]

18. you wanna' know what I hate...

I hate when people talk about embryo "snowflake children" and adoption alternatives to abortion.

All these people who are sooooo sad because they want to be parents, and can't have a baby - and who cry over all these aborted fetuses and flushed embryos.

ADOPT A CHILD. For crying out loud - there are foster homes spilling over with abused and neglected children desperate for loving, secure, permanent families.

Why are they NOT GOOD ENOUGH for you. If it is not a white newborn, you don't want it? Well TOO BAD. Don't expect my heart to bleed for you. Don't tell me what to do with my eggs, embryos or blastocysts because YOU are being particular about what kind of child you will allow in your family - you stinking hypocrites.

When there are no adoptable children left in this country - then come to me and maybe I will help you. Maybe God has placed an abused 7 year old in a foster home for you. If you cannot handle the "challenge" of special child, then maybe you are not truly desperate to be a parent - because you know what????!

When I was pregnant with my 3 children - there were no guarantees about the kind of child that I would give birth to. They could have had a myriad of birth defects that would have required serious medical care from me for their entire lives, a chemical imbalance that would make them prone to violence and need therapy or meds and require me to monitor them carefully for decades. But you know what - I WANTED them, I wanted to be a parent and I took that chance.

Sorry - end of rant.

[Bluerthanblue]

23. AMEN-

as one who has given birth, and adopted a 'throw-away' child- i can tell you if your heart desires to parent, there is absolutely NO difference in the love you have for a child born in your own womb, and that of a child born out of the desire in your heart-

i loved your rant-

[Coexist]

27. thanks - these Replicans on my teevee are going to give me a stroke

my teenage daughter is laughing at me because I keep yelling at the screen. Idiots.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. When anti-choicers start in about abortion

I just ask them when they adopted their 10 kids? Unless they have adopted a HOUSE FULL OF KIDS, they can shut the hell up.

[Coexist]

29. but that would mean putting their money where their mouth was

instead of using it to blather on and on about the evils of society.

[HughBeaumont]

36. A republican actually practicing what they preach?

Not in Fuhrer Bush's Dumberica!

Ah support thuh War . . . long's ah ain'ts gotta fight in it.

Ah support job offshorin' . . . long's it ain't MAH job.

Ahm PRO-LAHF, hippie . . . once they hit the pavement, they're on their own. And not ragheads. Or queers.

[Bluerthanblue]

19. so, Where did Saddam Hussien, and O.Bin laden come from?

were THEY not embryo's too?

more than 'embryo's- FERTILIZED embryos who became fetus' who matured into living breathing human beings.

My dog was once an embryo- so were my cats- so were the frogs that * blew up as a boy.

[DanCa]

21. uhm werent the Iraqis an embryo once?

No federally funded war. These culture of life people who dont want there own funds who destroy human life or so full of it.

[Disturbed]

24. The research will proceed...

in spite of the RW Fundies objections to it. If not in Amerika then in other countries. Amerikans will have to purchase any treatments or meds from other countries.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

25. Yes, but none us were frozen embryos....

Scheduled to be destroyed or thrown away. And none of us were umbilcal chords either.


Argument, meet face. As in falling flat on.


:D

[hatrack]

30. But not an embryo in liquid nitrogen scheduled for the dumpster

So this guy's point is . . . . . ?

[formercia]

31. Now i'm old and prorated

32. "let's not call them embryos, we could just as easily call them

Noah or Nathan"

33. Adolph Hitler was an embryo once

39. One of my favorite Lewis Black lines...

...on the Daily Show:

He ran a clip of Mel Gibson saying he'd give cigar to anyone who could name a human that didn't begin as an embryo.

Black said, "Adam and Eve. That's TWO cigars, Mel."

Great stuff.

[Coexist]

40. hahahahahahahhahah!

good one! I love Louis Black's rants
