The truth is that there are huge portions of our society that fall into the below average IQ range (even without a detectable chromosomal condition). And I did notice that one of the comments gave costliness as a rationale for the slaughter of our disabled population as well — but I do believe that there are factions of our society that are a greater drain on our goverment’s budget due to the need for support and the inability to effectively contribute to society and to the economy. So, if we’re going to start using such criteria for whether individuals should live or die, we are really going down a very heinous path.

Now, I’m pointing this out, but I am not advocating it — I am for life — I am from the party that came out of a movement that believed that every single human being is a child of God created equally. The party I stand with was formed centuries ago fighting for such a cause, and we still believe it today.

The standard-bearers of the “pro-choice” crowd have a pathetic understanding of just what “choice” means:

“humans kill each other and everything else on a daily…”

If I understand you correctly, then abortion is o.k. too?

Might I remind you that there are laws against killing.

You can argue that we ought to take kids off their moms at birth, but in the UK we have young moms flee to Ireland because social services has adoption targets and will steal babies off moms with a history, regardless of how justified it is.

As I said, this is the kind of game that everyone loses, all the time. If you are in the UK — how can you even adopt a baby knowing that you may be stealing someone’s child? This is just one case of many

Always the argument RTL religious fanatics retreat to. The zygote of the fertilized egg is by their logic indistinguishable from the viable form of life because it too is alive and genetically indistinguishable.

By RTL nutty reasoning, an ordance to prevent town oak trees would also have to be made to prevent every acorn from destruction because to a RTL fanatic, there is no difference between the two. Thus to a RTL fanatic, shooting squirrels to “save the beautiful oak trees in acorn form” makes perfect sense.

And that a old, all but dead oak or diseased young tree soon to die – should command equal town resources in their care and maintenance.

Life either began in primitive one-cell organisms that became more complex bacteria 2.6-3 billion years ago or when God breathed life
into the 6,000 year old Earth. Take your pick.
Human life started when the 1st distinct breeding population evolved from hominids and the process of new human life starts as a female spits eggs from her ovaries and the male produces testes. Or we can do the same thing by manipulating DNA in living human skin cells.

There are a variety of ways to now create “distinct human life”. Science is figuring out more…as we can now insert or remove DNA from cells. Even add DNA from other species (create chimeras).

Or in other species, “start” precious life by dropping a chemical on, or mildly shocking with electricity – unfertilized eggs.

Plus other critters that “create precious babies” by cell division, buds, switching sexes.

Hmm, ever hear of adoption????? Duh. There is such a thing, you know.
