A fetus is not a baby. It has the potential to become a baby once it's born, but prior to birth it is NOT a human being. And in the case of Republicans, many of them never live long enough to become human, and least not by my reckoning.

If "every sperm is sacred" and YHWH is responsible for the creation of humanity (no, I don't believe it), WHY do so many pregnancies end in miscarriage, especially during the first trimester, when estimates of the numbers are as high as 50%?

He knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

(Not so good with the women, so he's still single, poor boy)

This just reminds me of how pissed off I am at Robert Duvall and HBO. My VHS copy of Stalin finally gave up the ghost, and the only way to get Stalin is on a two-disk set with Assassination Tango, which I don't want to see. I ordered it from the library and waited for months. When it finally came in, it was just AT, no Stalin, so I handed it back to the librarian, unwatched.

I thought that guy's name was Clayton Bigsby. Must be thinking of someone else.

Ugly rumour is that his patients survived, but voted Republican ever after, so maybe he IS incompetent.

I think he already did...which is why he, understandably, assumed he would be perfect for the Republican presidential candidate.

Okay, Dr. Ben, you have now alienated the last vestigial remnant of respect I had for your impressive surgical career. You've given that up. In future, I will compare you to sludge like Huck, or Bobby, or santorum.
