@AnnaGraceWood A fine example of Poe’s Law, “Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any sincere expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for parodic expression of those views.” And you mean “forcing them”, not teaching them.

[Ross @sausport]

@LifeNewsHQ Baby Gabriel is suffering, in critical condition and unlikely to ever have a normal life. The original assessment and recommendation were correct.

[Ross @sausport]

@AlvedaCKing Nice platitudes that do nothing to help women. We could begin a “culture of life” starting next month if only the prolife politicians would pass the same maternity leave policies found in most other developed countries. Instead of tax breaks for the wealthy.

[Ross @sausport]

@HannahStrege @fiorazo A frozen embryo was gestated and allowed the development of a conscious mind that became “you”, however that person did not exist in the freezer.

[Ross @sausport]

@StudentsforLife Science definitely says that development begins at conception. Also says that about 50% never implant. Also, personhood and morality are not determined solely by science.

[Ross @sausport]

@LifeNewsToo Can we see the original ultrasound interpretation, and the follow up testing? Sometimes the results of a screening test are revised with additional testing.

[Ross @sausport]

@MartinusLogicus Easy for you to say, you’ll never have a problem pregnancy. Women don’t need your permission for anything.

[Ross @sausport]

@AbolitionistFAA “The commands of God and requirements of the U.S. Constitution demand justice for every preborn human being right now.” Only in your misogynistic imagination.

[Ross @sausport]

@frfrankpavone They also have no sentience and are attached to the body of the person prolifers seldom mention, the woman. And they’re so easy to “protect” if you disregard her rights.

[Ross @sausport]

@AbbyJohnson Ever heard of trying to compromise with the majority that does not share your (predominantly religious) beliefs? “Abortion should be prosecuted as murder” is not a popular stance.

[Ross @sausport]

@March_for_Life So what. Estimates are 40–50% of fertilized human ova are lost before implantation.

[Ross @sausport]

@aigkenham Santa Claus has a workshop at the North Pole staffed by elves who make all the toys. Zeus lives on Mt. Olympus as the ruler of the gods. Just as believable as biblical creationism.

[Ross @sausport]

@StudentsforLife The average contribution that PRCs provide is a couple hundred dollars per patient, and that includes the calculated value of their pregnancy tests and “counseling” services. And attendance at religious indoctrination classes is sometimes a requirement to get those diapers.

[Ross @sausport]

@HannahStrege Because people value things they want more than things they don’t. Duh. What’s really inconvenient is being forced to gestate and deliver an unwanted pregnancy.

[Ross @sausport]

@SenateGOP I assume “average” is the mean average. Now do median, or recalculate after removing the top 10%.

[Ross @sausport]

@CreationMuseum The “infallible word of god” as written and re-written by fallible humans over centuries. And then there’s the issue of trusting science, or a book of ancient mythology.

[Ross @sausport]

@SenateGOP Sure beats cheating Obama out of his Justice pick and changing the rules to ram through radical “strict constructionists”. And no Democrats are talking about eliminating private property ownership. They are talking about ameliorating some of the unfairness of modern capitalism.

[Ross @sausport]

@ArkEncounter Meanwhile, your fake ark (built with modern materials and dozens of workers) flooded in a rainstorm. The story of Noah is a nice fable with the same veracity as Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

[Ross @sausport]

@frfrankpavone “Congratulations, you’re going to lose your job. Congratulations, you’re 15 years old. Congratulations, you’re going to be forced to gestate your rαρist’s child.”

“You want the government to provide financial support? No, that’s socialism.”

[Ross @sausport]

@HQNewsNow She has extensive experience managing programs for the blind and disabled, hopefully she’ll bring a bit of compassion for the less well off to the job. The person with zero qualifications unfortunately lives in the White House.
