No wonder abortion is not a big deal for some. The people inside aren't even people - they are parasites, which sounds like a tick or some other blood sucking insect.

Yes they do once that human reaches the outside world, while inside the mother the growing fetus is basically just a parasite feeding off the mother.

Which is another problem I have with that group.
So.......if PP was "caucasian only", that would make you happy?

At the first stage of pregnancy yes, as they grow they become more and more human. In the end, it is the woman's right to decide if she wishes to have this thing growing inside her.

Using birth control and yes, aborting, is indeed planning when to become a parent.

Ya know.....like waiting until you have the means to actually care for a child properly.....without relying on taxpayers to do it for you.
Yes - I know of the birth control. I read their report already.

Aborting is planning when to become a parent. I guess I see it as one (or two) hitting the abort (pun intended) button after they do what's necessary to become parents, and figure out after the fact that they are not ready.

Most people don't go into sex thinking that they will become a parent from it. We are one of the few species that has sex for enjoyment, not just procreation.

You make it sound like a tick or some or blood sucking insect.

Functionally speaking, I understand. Not going to argue the point. It just helps me understand some perspective on why the life inside is not a big deal.

I bet most species enjoy sexual interaction.

Stupid thinking if people think fertilization won't happen from sexual activity.

So since we going back and forth on this - why should my tax dollars be paid for stupid thinking?
