4. What if a bomb kills a pregnant lady? Some one should ask a Fundie that just to
the smoke come out of their ears as they have a melt down.

5. I agree. One can't say life begins at conception and not up the civilian casualty amount
in Iraq. I expect a full accounting.

6. and death begins at birth
While a fetus, you're special. But then comes birth:

"Ok, you're born, now get the hell outta here, and if I see you again, you're going into CPS foster care or juvie hall! After that, it's prison, war, or execution, you free loader!"

The more hours a person spends inside a church each week, the more likely they are to support imperial wars and executions. Killin' in the name of ....

12. I think I get it. The fetus is without sin. The born are sinners.
Is that it? :dunce:

14. The bring down the duck word!! Original Sin!!
Those evil little bastards. Sure, they're blameless when they're inside their mothers, but one good push and they're Adam's failure!! Because a sane, rational God would condemn all of humankind because some guy God made was flawed.

How can people who claim to love God think he's such a remorseless asshole?!

16. LOL
It's beyond absurd. And simply because there is mass insanity, these people are allowed to rome the streets and worse yet, vote.

7. Nice comparision of two insane ideas ---
The sickening, freewheeling idea that "bombing" anyone could be taken so lightly --

but especially the expressed inhumanity of Iranians who can be so easily discarded ---

and the fact that they are existing lives is even easier to dismiss!

Ah, but the precious fertilized egg ---

Now there's something to cherish and make sacred --- !!!!

10. The fact that he sings this song while campaigning and snickering
about the prospect is chilling. Yet, he claims to have high regard for human life? He's disgusting.

8. Oops...I read that wrong.
I thought it said, "Life begins at contraception."

I was all, "Wha..? Where's my coffee?"

9. "I oppose abortion but favor dropping bombs on pregnant women."
(As long as they're in my way.)

He's a loose cannon in a full gale.

18. How about "I'm for small government" but "we can't let women control their bodies or let
gays marry."

They are just full of contradictions.

23. Geez! Is it even possible to reconcile ANYTHING with these people?
After all, if we bomb Iran, there is a 100% certainty that SOMEBODY (who has passed the point of conception) is going to be killed. No need to mention LOTS of NON-INSURGENT, NON-VIOLENT, NON-REGIME somebodys whom have been killed since the Bush/Cheney-ordered and McCain-supported invasion and occupation of Iraq.
