It's like conservatives have a contest: Who can out-crazy each other the most. Winner gets a Coke!

But they brought the war and their victims won't forget it the next time at the ballot box.

Yah, you may be at serious risk for life-threatening complications, but the doctor doesn't have to tell you. At least the woman could still try to get their licenses revoked by the AMA as that is seriously unethical. I do have to say though, of all the nonsense the GOP as been spouting, the idea that life begins two weeks before conception takes the cake.

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 No, of course not, because as we all know, men have nothing to do with having babies
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom It is a traditional belief among the Chinese that newborns are a year old upon birth since the Chinese count the time spent in utero. So, it is safe to say that that many people, perhaps a majority of people on this planet believe life begins at conception.
