   You are right. That is why we have birth control.
   Of course, some people confuse birth control with abortion.

   It is nice that the left, which forces us to build ramps and
   use knobless doors for the benefit of the handicapped, also
   ensures that we kill as many handicapped people as possible
   before they are born.

   Discrimination: Bad - unless it is in utero.

   The argument that a fetus is somehow a human life is a straw man for the real right-wing agenda, which is to regulate sex through governmental intervention. The right, especially the Christian right, does not honestly believe that a fetal life is the equivalent of human life — it’s just a more palatable way for them to argue for the regulation of sex.

   Consider the efforts to ban the “day after” pill, which is nothing more than an extra-large dose of birth control pill. It does the same thing as a standard birth control pill, but somehow this is believed to constitute “murder.” Consider the fact that abstinence-only sex education is non-negotiable among the religious right, despite the fact that traditional sex-ed has been shown to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies. If the real issue was fetal life, the right would be clambering all over itself lobbying for traditional sex education.

   Here’s a puzzle for you: if you could eliminate Down’s Syndrome by giving pregnant mothers a drug, would you? Or is that “discrimination”?
