Fetuses in the United States

[The Idler]

I often hear pro-lifers say nearly 50 Million unborn babies have been slaughtered since 1973. Militant pro-lifers seem not only to be virtually exclusive to the United States but also only concerned with fetuses in the United States. Have any ever complained about the United States use of chemical weapons and the fetal abnormalities this causes? Or are foreign fetuses okay to harm?

Why does it matter? Foetuses are not human beings, and I suspect the vast majority of human foetuses aborted do not resemble human beings, as late term abortions are the exception, not the rule.

If you think a fetus, or in some cases a zygote, is a full human being with full rights I wouldn't expect you to be up on your geography.

I think his point was the pro-lifers are also often the ones calling for militant takeover and bombardment of other countries.

I honestly thought for a second this thread was about Festivus (for the Rest of Us) in the United States.

[Sendo]

he's referring to our destruction of foreign and colored babies as they develop...namely Agent Orange in Vietnam. He is shocked "pro-lifers"can moan about aborted USA zygotes while ignoring the damages we do to embryoes, fetuses, late term fetuses and newborn babies with our military campaigns that poison air, water, land, cut off electricity, destroy hospitals, etc.

Those foetuses would be regarded as being colateral damage, by the militarists.

They would say that it only matters what you tried to aim at, and that everything else that gets bombed is an unavoidable accident.

Domestic law enforcement sometimes has the same attitude. In 1978 the police dropped a bomb on a house in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania because there were some "radicals" inside it. Then the fire spread and burned down about fifty other buildings, killing several people in the neigborhood, including children. City officials later said that the accident was regrettable.

Yeah execept he's not talking about abortion being bad, but the hypocritical stance of believing it is evil to abort a foetus the mother doesn't want while being quite comfortable with the idea of killing/fucking up ones that pregnant women in other countries may want to carry to term.

Isn't that pretty much a given among the American right-wing? They're a bunch of enormous hypocrites.

Hell yeah, you can't be pro-life and pro-war. Though apparently you can hate pornography and like little boys on the religious right.

As for the fetuses, I'm much more ashamed of all the Buffalo we killed.

pro lifers are just sexually envious.
