The reason religion is so powerful

[Brian37]

I am not convinced that appealing to a shared humanity works considering that a fair number of AF members do not recognize the humanity of the unborn enough to afford them any rights.

And by that you mean consider the rights of the pregnant woman to decisions about her own body not being superceded by the rights you assign to a fetus. In other words, you value the rights of a blastocyst over a person with a story, hopes, dreams, loved ones, an inner life, and everything else that really makes a human being human. Such a champion of human dignity you are!

Time to remove your In-This-House-We-Believe yard sign because you definitely do not believe science. The unborn are human from conception. We can debate the degree to which the lives of the unborn have value and should be protected but there is no debate over them being human. That is just a biological fact.

Your cheek scrapings are 100% human genetically. They are even potential humans, since we can conceivably use them to clone you. I see you reduce humanity to mere biology when it's convenient to your religious beliefs.

The pro birthers, which is all they are, never want to consider that humans are simply one species among many. One can accept their "good intent" in wanting life not to suffer. And that isn't a bad intent. But the problem with these religious nuts, is that they never want to think about life after birth. There are also lots of evil monsters who WERE BORN, like Hitler and Stalin and Ted Bundy and Charles Manson. 

I am sick of the right claiming pro choice advocates spend our lives going door to door and using social media to tell females to fuck just so we can kill life as if we were playing beer pong at a frat party.
