Unfortunately for you, we're not talking about what anyone thinks. We're talking about public policy.

A few things you've said on the issue:

It should not be surprising that the Church does not want experimentation on embryos, because in the eyes of the faith those embryos are every bit as much a human person as we are.

So damn, isn't it just amazing that the Church isn't lobbying to have the destruction of embryos, not to mention abortion, TREATED IN THE SAME WAY AS ANY *OTHER* HOMICIDE?

The baby has rights too.

(I have to ask: are you 12 years old? "The baby"?)

So ... if the embryo / zygote / fetus thingy has rights ... how come the RC church is not lobbying to have those rights protected exactly the same way as every *other* human being's rights are protected -- like by TREATING THE DESTRUCTION OF IT AS HOMICIDE?

The RC church really does just seem to think that some "lives" are more equal than others, doesn't it?

If I thought that people who claim to "think abortion is murder" were honest, I might ask what they think.

They aren't. And I don't. Not interested.

And the RC church and all the rest of the anti-choice scum in the world who claim "to think abortion is murder" are still, as I said, the poster children for hypocrisy.
