11. That is the most specious argument I've heard in a good while
That's not a whole hell of a lot different from complaining that men's masturbation is "killing potential babies" or a woman riding a horse could be "killing potential babies."

There's a hell of a lot of difference between potential human life and actual human life. Could we please stop the hyperfocusing on potential human life and maybe do something to improve the lot of the ACTUAL, living, breathing humans for once?

*shaking head*

I mean, who the hell wants to live in a society that's devolving into one that thinks we should be examining women's menses for fertilized eggs, and prosecuting any women who've thus expelled a zygote for murder? Think that's far-fetched? It was damned near proposed as law by one of these radical clerics last year. Some of these freaks want to make IUDs illegal.

What is with their obsession with sex???
