So I'm not sure how that relates to the OP, although I'm not even sure how reality is related to the original question. This whole discussion is quite silly, in fact.

I think it would be less tedious to just tell him you agree. Yes...absolutely, insurance should most definitely be available to fetuses and embryos!

I wouldn't describe a discussion about 50,000,000 deaths to be "silly".

I didn't say the topic of abortion is silly, I said this particular discussion is silly... or did you think insurance for fetuses was a serious proposition? If so, it's no wonder Santorum is winning primaries - LOL.

P.S. Aborted fetuses didn't "die" - they were aborted/terminated before life began, by all legal and scientific definitions. And do you really think we need 50,000,000 MORE unwanted babies in the world?

You are asking me if I think that babies should be offered the opportunity to get abortion insurance? Yes.

Santorum will get my vote.

Okay, fine... if such a bill reaches the ballots, I'll grant those fetuses their rights! Will my unused eggs be granted rights too? I want them to get a job and move out already, so they'll stop living off my hard-earned paychecks.

No surprise with the second statement, based on your comments in the first statement...

Even the OP wasn't meaning this seriously, for goodness sakes. At least I hope not.

If you add the numbers of all those poor dead sperm and unfertilized eggs shed every month, your numbers would be truly impressive.
Just an idea.

50,000,000 is a rather impressive number. It is also a sad number.
