Tom DeLay speaks out about the horror of dismembering human beings
Edited on Tue May-24-05 08:14 PM by xray s

Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said the embryonic research bill would force taxpayers to finance “the dismemberment of living, distinct human beings"


That is...if this is the living, distinct human being in question, it's bad.




But if you happen to be one of these living, distinct human beings, forcing the taxpayers to finance dismembering them in the name of BushCo' war for oil is just fine and dandy...

1. Can someone honestly tell me where these cretins get this stuff?
Is it all that one verse in the Bible in Psalms about "I knew you in your mother's womb, yadda, yadda"? Did these fools never take a biology class or what?

9. Actually, that's Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Of course, that's God speaking. God knows the past, present, and future, which would mean He knows where every fetus is going to end up. If God's ordaining Prophet's, then He isn't about to send such a person to Earth through someone who's about to have an abortion anyway. Why would God waste His time on that? I swear these dominionist-fascists don't give Him enough credit.

He sent His own Son here through an unwed teenage girl, and that turned out all right, didn't it? ;)

15. Yep
Well actually Mary and Joseph were engaged. ;) But yeah. That's pretty much what that verse is saying. He knows all and knows the future. God gave us freewill to make these decisions and then we live with whatever the consequences are whether good or bad. He trusts us for a reason, right?

3. As in this country
they only care about them before they're born. After that, they're on their own. Tough luck poor people.

6. Don't talk anymore to us Tom DeLay...
Just go back to your amazing house of cards, and let the ethics investigations throw you in jail.

What an amazing, radical-right extremist group you belong to! :eyes:

10. Look out! It's the stem cell chainsaw massacre.
STFU, DeLay. You dismembered any semblance of your conscience a long time ago.

14. These babies are "snowflakes" because they come from
frozen embryos...

Two bills that would loosen restrictions on U.S. government funding for stem cell research takes center stage Tuesday in the House, with disease victims pleading for help and President Bush vowing to veto legislation he says would let science destroy life to save lifes.

And these babies are "collateral damage" because they are brown and Musilm.
