they aren't internally logical. It's what happens when you start with two highly suspect suppositions: 1) God personally messes around in our lives all the time, causing this and tweaking that, including deciding where and when souls enter a body and 2) life begins at conception.

If you start there....you end up with Mourdock and Ryan. Another problem, then, is that they don't keep these suppositions and conclusions to themselves and their own families...they legislate, fundraise, and kill doctors so that YOU have to accept it all too.
