No, I'm referring to the use of zygotes created for in vitrio fertilization, and thrown away after the successful implantation of one of them.


And, I'm certainly not talking about breeding human beings for organs for transplantation. :eek:




It's only murder in the opinion of some. 




If taxation is stealing, then let's put the people who run the IRS in jail, and do away with taxes altogether. 


Taxation without representation may be stealing, but taxes are still a necessary evil in a representative democracy.




But, you're willing to impose your views of marriage on the rest of society?  Liberals, by which I mean those who favor big government having power over the individual, can wish to impose their beliefs on the rest of society, and, reprehensible though that might be, it is still consistent with their philosophy.  Conservatives, by which I mean those who favor limited government and individual choices and responsibility, can try to impose their views of marriage on the rest of society also, but that is not consistent with their philosophy.  The conservative philosophy would have the government stay out of the marriage business, and let the churches control who may and may not marry.


Of course, even a conservative might want to compromise his ideology to protect children, but that could be justified from the standpoint of children not being able to make informed choices.




Abortion is murder only in the eyes of some, and that some doesn't have the right to impose their views on the rest.  Not only that, but is it really murder when the zygote is simply a collection of a few dozen cells?  Is it murder if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest?  If it endangers the life of the mother?  If it is murder, then anyone performing an abortion for any reason and at any stage of pregnancy would have to be prosecuted for that crime.  Is that really what you're advocating?





Most people in jail today will tell you that they're innocent, but that doesn't make it so.


Who gets to decide, then, what is murder and what isn't? Do you or I have that right?  Is what we decide to be the law of the land?
