Anti-Abortion Activists Push New, Radical Egg-As-Person Measures

RHRealityCheck.org:

A resurgent movement to place "personhood" measures on state ballots across the nation to ban abortion and comprehensive reproductive care could have far more sweeping implications than the trial balloon Colorado voters soundly defeated last year.

Far from being dissuaded by the 3-to-1 loss from their 2008 campaign to confer zygotes with legal rights, abortion opponents are regrouping with a broader initiative that purports to address life span issues, from conception to death.

People exhibiting Crusade Level hysteria over abortion while enthusiastically, if not robotically, supporting genocide..­.are also known as...tools­, fools, and hypocrites.

If legally aborting a fetus with forceps is murder, what is fraudulent preemptive murder of a million innocent humans-including children and babies-with bombs, bullets, and phosphorus called?

[Cunningham]

GOP policy.

From Pol Pot to Venezuela, just like that?

[zorak1704]

Good business.

[lthuedk 1]

Right that.

While conception is a necessary condition to becoming human or applying for a credit card, it is not a sufficient condition to value the egg more than the life of the mother and all other persons.

[yourmotherwasahamster]

I keep a basket of nuts in the shell on my table. By this "reasoning" I actually have a basket full of TREES on my table. who knew?

[been2there]

What will it take to get these &^**(* to realize that WOMEN ARE PEOPLE. (Shouting in the vain hope of being heard.) The tragedy of abortion is that one must chose which person takes precedence. Pro-choice people give precedence to the mother, who is already cognizant and, if she seeks an abortion, already in distress. In the rare cases of people who "use it as birth control," for God's sake, let them. No child deserves a mother like that!

[slaxx]

agreed! how come the life and well-being of the mother, a fully-formed person, comes second?

[Solja]

And don't forget those devalued lives on death row. They don't actually count to the Republican Party of Fools.

[Cunningham]

"The tragedy of abortion is that one must chose which person takes precedence­."

Wrong. A zygote is not a person. A fetus isn't either.

[psnyder]

The way I see it: If you ain't got a birthday, you ain't got a right.

[Strobe74]

so if a woman has her period does that mean she's guilty of neglect and abandonment of her "personhood" egg?

And if we go the extra mile here and give "personhood" to sperm then all young boys can be guilty of genocide as soon as they hit puberty.

Good thinking wacko conservative Christians. It's sheer genius!

[didntvote4thedude]

Then off with her head.

[TurgidCaterwauling]

Let no egg go unfertilized.

RABIDLY RADICAL Anti-Abortion Activists
Push SPERM-AS-PERSON Measures to BAN MASTURBATION! !
Masturbation is to be punished by 160 YEARS IN JAIL.

[slaxx]

gross. what is this obsession with controlling what other people do?

"the term 'person' shall apply to every human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being"

does that include sperm?

[findmind]

Maybe they can use the "Every Sperm is Sacred" song from Monty Python!...­... I know, it's eggs.....b­ut I'm sure it won't be long till they call sperm "persons" as well...

[BlueMominaRedState]

If I "adopt" a bunch of frozen embryos may I claim them as dependents? Will keeping them frozen qualify as a medical expense I can write off?

[hortonhearsdawho]

c the check list:

white

rich

evangelical

governors kid

dropout/.w­hite./unwe­d

oh yeah, rich and white and evangleical christian

[didntvote4thedude]

Try it. The Clinton's tried to write off underwear. Out tax cheat treasurer tied to write off day camp. Dems have some imagination.

[wandering girl]

yeah, like Palin got per diem for staying in her own home.

oh, wait - she's not a Dem...

there goes your fallacious argument.

[Cunningham]

Reagan claimed ketchup as a vegetable so he could malnourish our school children.

[BlueMominaRedState]

Compared to Republicans who just don't pay taxes

[caterpol]

Can't imagine why not. After all, you'd be supporting "persons".

And if these folks are ever successful, I'll be the first in line to sign up for some frozen "dependents".

[antifluff]

I am sure they will take good care of you in your old age.

[MagicalPossibilities]

Great idea! Since my kid is grown I am getting nailed on taxes.

[csavage]

If zygotes are worthy of respect as life, then the death penalty would be made illegal. You can't have it both ways!

[instagladiator]

No more w.a.r.s.?

[didntvote4thedude]

Then I can't watch the Apache gunships on live leak take out the terrorists.

[instagladiator]

Personhood, Fetushood, Spermhood, Egghood, where does this lunacy end?

It's the woman's choice period, end of story!!

[slaxx]

Skincellhood. no more shedding skin cells!!

[700rpm]

Hairhood. You can't go bald, and no more haircuts!

[zanzig]

I can't tell you how grateful I am that I am post-menopausal and don't have to deal with these lunatics anymore. I will however continue to help any woman who does still want to fight for her right to medical care of any type.

[roseau]

As soon as all of the born children are considered to be humans, I'll entertain the possibility of indulging a discussion over zygotes. For now, some of the kids being beaten tonight could use some attention. Maybe a few of the thousands of little girls being violated in brothels deserve a picket line. There are kids in my town who have cigarette burns on their arms and herpes. No one ever seems to kill the guilty relatives and neighbors.
