No, it's a choice.

The fundies were outside Planned Parenthood again today with their "It's not a choice. It's a child." signs. Apparently they haven't seen my sign:



The whole situation bugs me. Forgetting the fact that these are men in their 50s holding the signs, it IS a choice and it's NOT a child! And even if it is a child, which it's not, how is it not still a choice? Child and Choice are not opposites.

And why do these men in their 50s want more people? Are we running low? My understanding is that we have enough people, thank you very much, and that even if we do start to run out we can always make more. We're not pandas. We have enough of us and if we need more we can easily get some.

Also, where in the Bible does it say, "Thou shalt not piss out zygotes"? I still haven't found that passage and I've been through Leviticus twice.

Is it possible that these are Padeos who are afraid of their supplies drying up?

Are these people your lost tribe, Jay?

This has the makings of an epic tragedy to it, and He who would be their King sets forth to destroy Them.

I'd look up "Padeos" but given the context of the conversation it might be NSFW.

What if an egg is like unformatted floppy disk, and then when it's fertilized it gets formatted and then it's born and stuff starts getting saved to the disk and it has a rich full life until it gets too close to a magnet, or the little metal sliding door thingy gets bent and it dies.

I'm wondering if child != choice people are really bellowing "DISKS ARE PRECIOUS EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BLANK, DON'T THROW THEM AWAY" and not considering that there are something like a lot of blank disks being made every second, and deciding not to keep one isn't that big of a deal. Once it's got stuff on it, then you can and probably will be upset when it's lost, but until then, meh.

I thought I was the only person who thought of himself as a formatted floppy disk...
