Pushing to have zygotes and blastocysts as people is fucking worse. That's as nonsensical as calling sperm people. There's not even a neural tube for christ sakes. My toenail has as much personhood. This shit isn't even biblical.

Meanwhile, the "slippery slope" logical fallacy falls over, down a hill, and dies.

Then starts spinning, creating a perfectly cylindrical hole, and catches fire due to friction, and self cremating.

Pregnant women votes should be doubled!

I get what you're going for, but young kids can't vote, so this doesn't really work as a joke. :P

Ok, then start issuing them social security numbers as soon as they've confirmed your pregnant so parents can start applying for and receiving benefits before the child is even born.

Not attacking you, but I hate this fucking argument about fetuses being people: if they're people at the moment of conception, then they need to be treated as such. Conservatives can't have it both ways, despite the fact I know in their minds they can.

On an unrelated note: I think it's time we got rid of "under God" and "In God We Trust" from the pledge of allegiance and all of our currency. We're not a Christian nation, I don't believe in a God, and shouldn't have to handle currency that goes against my lack of religious beliefs.

But half our country wants a Christian-Theocratic-Sharia-Law institution as our government, and I'd prefer they just fuck right off.

Did you intend to reply to me to begin with? 'cause I just made a side comment that's not related to the actual controversy at all, lol

Couch boy wants to give parents an extra vote for every child they have. Now, he doesn't say how they are split between the parents so a) probably goes to the father and b) not if the kid has 2 moms or 2 dads.

He only has 3 kids. You'd think he would spend less time fucking couches with that attitude.
