The best huh.

[Rob Misek]

For those of you who agree that the fetus is alive but simply deny that a fetus is a person, based on its age, this proves you’re wrong.

Firstly there is no rational correlation between age and the definition of a person or the right to life.

Secondly since there is no mention of age discrimination against the right to life in the constitution, your position is unconstitutional.

Let me walk you through the correctly applied science and logic, so you don’t become lost.

This easy to follow string of definitions clearly demonstrate that the authority that gives meaning to all language, dictionaries, recognizes the unborn as persons,

Unborn unique DNA = individual = human being = person = child = baby

Definition of DNA fingerprinting
the use of a DNA probe for the identification of an individual

Definition of individual
A person

Definition of human being
“any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens.”

Definition of person
“a human being, whether an adult or child:

Definition of baby
A human fetus

Definition of child
A human fetus

Dictionary.com

Now the choice is once again yours.

Recognize the truth that a fetus is a living human person, being sane, or don’t and be an insane advocate of murder.

[Rob Misek]

Abortion is the murder of a helpless innocent human being.

It represents the greatest genocide in earths history killing 750,000 pre born Americans every year.

The VAST majority of abortions are elective. Meaning the mother who performed the ONLY act possible to INVITE another human temporally inside her has reneged on that physical agreement.

In a mere 9 months the two could go their separate ways, alive, but abortion kills the baby.

The questions in all these polls are worded vaguely and often designed to elicit answers that can be misconstrued, taken out of context, by people with agendas.

A pro life woman fears irresponsible healthcare and this fear is twisted into support for elective abortion. I DON’T THINK SO!

[TJJ2000]

You figured out how to get your imaginary baby in the *real* world alive yet beyond "because I say-so"???

No? So you just copied and pasted a whole bunch of BS-propaganda. Talk is cheap.

[Rob Misek]

You demonstrate how “cheap” insane talk can be.

Have you figured out the answer to this?

““Correctly applied logic”
If you cannot produce a living baby.
There is no living baby there.”

“If you watched me encase an unbroken egg in concrete, once hardened would the unbroken egg cease to exist?”

[TJJ2000]

So....... Nope; still nothing but talk.
Ya know; I have a Pluto landing spaceship and a flying unicorn too.. /s

He’s a good Sarc, loves Obama,
Carries’ water, for Biden too.

He’s a good Sarc, crazy ‘bout Harris,
Loves statists such as Act Blue.

It’s a long day emptyin’ forties,
There’s a blackout running through his head.
We’re all bad boys, for callin him stupid,
We’re all bad boys, for citing what he said.

And he’s D,
D squallin’
Yeah he’s D,
D squallin’

Alzo Spake Zaruthrustra... Who thrustra this upon us all...
Some come here to sit and think,
Some come here to shit and stink.
But I come here to scratch my balls,
And read the Wisdom, upon the walls!
Honor Code
She offered her honor,
He honored her offer,
And all night long,
It was honor and offer!
He who writes
On bathroom walls,
Wraps his shit
In little balls,
He who reads these lines of wit,
Eats those little balls of shit!

[SQRLSY]

Trumpty Dumpty, He’s quite off-the-wall,
Trumpty Dumpty won’t stay in His toilet stall
He just goes ahead and takes His shits,
Totally regardless of whereever He sits
Whenever He simply, no way, can sleep,
He Twits us His thoughts, they’re all SOOO deep!
He simply must, He MUST, Twit us His bird,
No matter the words, however absurd!
He sits and snorts His coke with a spoon,
Then He brazenly shoots us His moon!
They say He’ll be impeached by June,
Man, oh man, June cannot come too soon!
So He sits and jiggles His balls,
Then He Twitters upon the walls
“Some come here to sit and think,
Some come here to shit and stink
But I come here to scratch my balls,
And read the writings on the walls
Here I sit, My cheeks a-flexin’
Giving birth to another Texan!
Here I sit, upon the pooper,
Giving birth to another state trooper!
He who writes these lines of wit,
Wraps His Trump in little balls,
He who reads these lines of wit,
Eats those loser’s balls of shit!”

2.5 days in publication, and you're already declaring it "The Best" of Reason. And for what? An audio transcription of an article that doesn't get anywhere near the clicks or traction of the original.

Do you "libertarians" understand anything even slightly about capitalism? Or are you just a bunch of drug-addled anarcho-leftists at the end of the day.

[Mickey Rat]

Abortion rights supporters who cosplay as Pro-Life don't like abortion bans? A stunning discovery by pro-abortion activist, ENB.

[TJJ2000]

Pro-Life goes insane with Gov-Gun Power-madness and starts building Reproduction Slave-States and people start to jumping ship.
