As we become more proficient at uterus transplants etc i want these geniuses leading in the Republican polls to answer: Who should be punished in the event of abortion: (a) the uterus donor (2) the egg donor (iii) the surrogate mother (δ) mitochondria donor (•) the holder of the pipette ("anyone but the sperm donor!") "It's waterboarding for all!"

In the minds of religious fundies/conservatives, why shouldn't the woman be punished? In their minds she's responsible for premeditated murder. She should be given a death sentence. Right?

@2. Yet, they avoid the natural logic that if abortion is (premeditated) murder, then a miscarriage would then be "involuntary manslaughter", and a woman knowing that she is pregnant who engages in behaviors that are risky to the health or "life" of the embryo or fetus, is guilty of "reckless endangerment."

@3, There are several states where that's actually been put into law. Here's an article about a Montana case: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2014/09/…

@3. The involuntary manslaughter is just a manner of time.

Carrying a female embryo to term and giving birth to it, results in one more slut being added to the population. We should abort female fetuses so no one will have to worry about what the sluts do when they grow up.

Ah, "The Birdcage". An excellent rebuttal to people who think that straight/cis actors can't properly portray gay/trans characters...

@2: No, because religion can be nuanced.

@8: Religion can indeed be nuanced, but the term "fundies" usually describes the specific religious types that see things in black and white.

That was my first thought when I heard Drumpf's remarks!

Please wait...
