5. Following Republicans' sick, twisted logic...

... to its conclusion, it should then be unlawful to forego gettin' jiggy with it on a Sunday morning. A baby not even thought of is a baby aborted. I mean, what the fuck?!!?

These people are drunk with power they don't understand, and are too dirt stupid to control. And their perverted religious beliefs should NEVER form the basis for legislating ANY laws governing the private lives of others, or, for that matter, any laws at all.

I hate what conservatism is doing to this country with a white-hot passion that far exceeds the Sun's inferno.

I need more coffee.

7. "Six-week" abortions are actually FOUR weeks after conception.

We should be forcing these people to realize that the start of pregnancy is falsely computed from the first day of the last menstrual period, which has been shown to predate the ACTUAL conception by two weeks! They are being allowed to get away with FALSE ACCUSATIONS! We should start a MASSIVE campaign to DEFEND women who are FALSELY accused of getting abortions SIX weeks after conception, when actually those abortions occurred only about FOUR weeks after conception. If a law outlaws abortions at SIX weeks after conception, then a state should not be allowed to prosecute a woman who got her abortion at a point in time which was actually only FOUR weeks after conception.

4. Republicans have made up so many lies about pregnancy and abortion that they don't know truth anymore.

Contraceptives prevent conception, so they’re hypothetical abortions of fetuses that never were.

A six-week ban is reasonable because embryos at that stage have arms, legs, heart, etc. when in reality they’re the size of a pomegranate seed. But their photos of six-month fetuses claiming they’re still embryos lets their lie stand.

Healthy babies are born and murdered because women decided they no longer wanted a baby says no woman or doctor ever,. The myth and outright lie lives on.

Women who want an abortion are just sexually promiscuous and are using abortion as birth control. That one ranks right ip there with the idea that rape is deserved because of the way a woman was dressed.

No voter can trust a political party so warped to govern fairly.
