The point is someone posted that conservatives are anti-science, and someone else pointed out that the same people who accuse conservatives as anti-science also claim that living, growing fetuses that can feel pain are just clumps of cells.

And it doesn't take a lot of effort to know if a baby feels pain. Believe me, they let you know very loudly. Just because that baby/toddler will grow up one day and completely forget about the pain doesn't mean it didn't exist. In fact, I got very badly injured a few years ago and I've already forgotten the pain. Women who have babies forget the pain of childbirth. So it's not just babies that forget pain.

Is this like the old question, "If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?"

they are prolly waiting for liberals to decide on what to call it.
back in the 70-80s the liberal's stance was the world was cooling and we were entering into an ice age,

than they decided that wasnt profitable enough for them so they switched platforms to global warming.

as we entered the internet age,
people learned how to google and intelligent people descovered the world wasnt about to burst into flame.
so the liberal chicken littles decided to cover all their bases and call every little hickup by mother nature.....



wait for it......


here it comes......



"climate change"

so keep telling that story about how "democrats have been consistent" its pretty much BS

This isn't even a issue that should be "political". I'm trying to figure out how people think that we as Human beings don't have a impact on the Environment? Everything we do in our daily lives has some sort of impact on the Environment.

They don't believe it's man-made.

Climate change is always happening... it has never been static in the entire history of the world... liberals want you to believe it is for X, Y, or Z reasons because they want to control your behavior, it makes them feel like they have some kind of power... some people jump on board for the money it provides them... man-made climate change is BS...

I'm sure Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, and James Inhofe would agree with you. Possibly the crazy homeless guy down on the corner would too. People with informed opinions would not agree with you, though.
