(6,931 posts)How many people have tried or know another couple who have tried to get pregnant for months/years but there are those "fertilization" problems and it doesn't happen?? So these clowns want to say in a LAW that every trip to the sack to do the "dirty deed" results in a life??
Bawhahhahahaaaaaaa....

(10,167 posts)If DNA is defining factor for what they call "life," then there are "people" all over your car, your house, everywhere. If you clean the cells from under your nails once you've scratched and itch, will that now be murder?
Or is "life" the presence of a heartbeat? I scrubbed in surgery years ago and I've seen babies with no brains and a heart beat because they had a brain stem but no cerebrum. Not microcephaly, but anencephaly. And if heartbeat indicates life, goodbye organ donation. When I assisted on organ harvests from people who had been devastated by an accident, we had to take the kidneys, e.g., when the heart was still beating (but little to no brain activity for a period of time) or the organs are not viable for transplant.
So no more organ transplants for a starter, and a whole lot more "million dollar babies" with severe defects. Oh, and absolutely no more in vitro fertilization, or birth control (which is what the crazies are really after. CONTROL).
One more thing. If life, i.e. their def. of a human being is just human DNA, is saving a gob of spit or strand of hair from destruction the same as saving a 30 year old person? It necessarily must be or their argument fails.
