The hypocrisy of the schizophrenic self-styled religious right has roots that run deep. In the monotheistic reality tunnel, the Godhead is the State. It has always been this way. The Lord sits upon his throne and is benevolent enough to allow his flock to feed from his scraps and lick the remnants of his last meal from his pretty white beard.
Those unborn babies are no more or less divine than the homeless man we walked past and sneered at, or the Iraqi family reduced to protoplasm for your blessed God's enjoyment and material gain.
This issue is about the desire to legislate a morality. Such a need is indicative of weakness and impotence, not strength. The irony here being that the "right" side of the false dialectic/deftly-crafted social control mechanism/political spectrum seeks to force someone else to follow a code that they believe in. This is supposedly a tactic of the "left" side of the aforementioned false dialectic. Both sides attempting to rip each others' eyes out over who should die next.

ribosoma, we always legislate morality. That's what laws are - legislated morality. And you are just off your rocker with that fru-fru godhead is the state rambling. If unborn babies are no more or less divine than a homeless man (wait, who said they were?), then why do people get to kill the unborn babies, no questions asked?
