Mississippi seems crammed full of them, and mostly in the Republican legislature.\u00a0 Surprise, surprise.\u00a0 Allow me to introduce you to \u201cInitiative Measure 26<\/a>\u201d, which, in short, proposes to classify any fertilized egg (whether cloned, in-vitro\u2019d, or just plain sexed up) as a \u201cperson.\u201d\u00a0 i.e., as a full human.<\/p>\n

Sorry, folks, but that\u2019s simply, undeniably, NOT TRUE.\u00a0 <\/em>It\u2019s a purely specious fiction driven by someone who wants to put public face to their fake piety.\u00a0 A single cell does not represent a person.\u00a0 By that definition of \u201chumanity\u201d, each and every one of us flushes away more humanity than most abortions every time we take a dump.\u00a0 Think that over.\u00a0 Furthermore, no person, regardless of age, race, nationality, sexual orientation or faith position has any right to claim any part of another person \u2013 and what this law is paving the way for is that such a claim can be made.\u00a0 Specifically, \u201cthis person needs your body in order to survive.\u201d\u00a0 If you agree to that logic, then sign yourself up for a kidney donation right now \u2013 because there\u2019s someone who needs it, and you can supply it to save their life.<\/p>\n

Litmus test:\u00a0 you\u2019re in a burning building, and you see in the room a terrified little girl crying for her mommy, and a cooler with five frozen embryos on ice.\u00a0 You can save one, the other will burn.\u00a0 Choose.<\/p>\n

Once and for all:\u00a0 get your dumb-fuck religion out of the courthouse, you fraudulent retards.<\/em>\u00a0 I\u2019ve gone on at length about how absolutely moronic you have to be to believe in that stupid shit \u2013 and the sad part is watching otherwise-smart people compartmentalize so they can \u201cbelieve in it\u201d \u2013 but that shit has absolutely no place in determining public policy.\u00a0 Or polite society, for that matter.<\/p>\n

My CAT can make better decisions than someone trying to come up with something out of the bible.\u00a0 Speaking of which, anti-abortion language is not to be found in the bible.<\/em>\u00a0 There\u2019s only one law regarding aborted pregnancy in there, and it only specifies that if you hit a woman, and she is with child, and she miscarries, then you have to pay compensation to her husband<\/em>.\u00a0 Mull that one over for a minute.\u00a0 It\u2019s a construct of the misogynistic attitudes of conservative Christians to rile up their political base. \u00a0\u00a0Damn, do you people ever fucking read that stupid book?<\/p>\n

Let me point out something:\u00a0 if you honestly, genuinely give a shit about the lives of babies, then do something about the infant mortality rate<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Blow all that advertising money and lobbying money (hint, hint, do you see a little reason right there why this issue continues to get its horn blown?) \u00a0on helping poor people feed their babies<\/em>, on medicine for them, or better still, on getting them free access to birth control so they won\u2019t have to have babies in the first place<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The answer is this:\u00a0 break the cycle<\/em>.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make it worse.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: \u00a0as of 9 November, the voters of Mississippi turn out to be considerably smarter than their moron legislators. \u00a0It would seem that when voters, even Republican voters, are shown their Republican legislators’ true agenda, they reject it. \u00a0Which of course spawns the question – why in the world would anyone continue to associate with the ass-clown Republican party when they can simply drop it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
