| Yeah that comes to me as a weird trait of religious reasoning. They are fierce vigourous defenders of the life of the unborn (even the doomed embryo, as we saw in the stem cell discussion.) But the lives of older, actually born humans is not that important? They say they wont accept this abortion bc of their respect for life. But what about the mother's life?
It is the same thing with stem cells. They cant save the lifes of the leftover embryos anyway, so why fuss about that? But the lives of all the people wh can be saved by stem cell research is not worth protecting??
I think their argument that "life must be defended, no matter what" also loses it's credibility by their often passionate defence of the death penalty. If you think life is so important that it should not be taken under any circumstances, then why actively advocate the killing of people convicted of serious crimes??? __________________ Watching BtVS is like having a drink: it tastes wonderful, from all it's different ingredients. But it needs to be properly spiked to get me high.
