Right now, Ricky Santorum is saying that he will 1) first, legally prosecute abortion doctors.

The next step though? 2) Logically, if the embryo is a full human person, then killing one is murder. So that? Santorum is logically committed next, to prosecute doctors as ... murderers.

And then? I suppose he is also, by his own fatal logic, bound to 3) prosecute the millions of women that get abortions, as murderesses.

So next? Santorum will apparently be 4) gathering up a special group of para-military Catholic police, to round up millions of women. And 5) take them to prison, and/or execution?

6) Or maybe he will have them burned at the stake, as witches or ... Protestants? (WHose religion allows contraception and ab ortion).

Anti-abortion extremists like Santorum, and EWTN/RN, and Priests for Life, are very, very dangerous idiots. They don't really know what absurdities and horrors, would result, if anyone took them seriously.

To be sure, humor could be a potent weapon here. BUT? The joke is also lost on these guys. So we need? Both humor ... but also an occasional serious discussion of all this, point by point.
Of course. That was the whole point of the bill. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2012 #1
