“Hillary, tell me what religion has the most food banks, homeless shelters, etc.? Roa Rescue Mission, etc. Your argument is null.”

Actually the one organization that funds child poverty and education programs globally, including the studies of children needs, is the
non- denominational organization called the United Nations Children’s Fund.
They neither selectively decide which children are “worthy” by religious affiliation, they do not hand out bibles and preach “the one way to heaven”, and they do not proselytize in exchange for food .
A few facts from their research:

Number of children in the world: 2.2 billion.

Number of children living in developing countries: 1.9 billion.

Number of children living in poverty: 1 billion – every second child.

The latest edition of UNICEF’s report on child poverty in developed countries found that 30 million children in 35 of the world’s richest countries live in poverty. Among those countries, the United States RANKS SECOND on the scale of what economists call “relative child poverty” — Only Romania ranks higher, with 25.5 percent of its children living in poverty, compared with 23.1 percent in the U.S.

So don’t go patting you and your christian brethren on the back…with all the money collected by “christian” churches throughout the world, they don’t seem to have made a dent in childhood poverty…too busy buying and handing out bibles instead of food.

Hillary:When the christian right and right wingers are as fervent about the living children as they are about the unborn – then and only then should they be referred to as “pro life”…
When the christian right and right wingers are as fervent about protecting living children as they are about the unborn, – then and only then should they be referred to as “pro life”…
When the christian right and right wingers are as dedicated to providing for living children existing in poverty – then and only then should they be referred to as “pro life”…”

Hillary, tell me what religion has the most food banks, homeless shelters, etc.? Roa Rescue Mission, etc. Your argument is null.

Sandi :”pistol pete, let the record reflect that YOU called the fetus a “blob of nothing”, not us. Can a 9 week fetus survive outside the womb? Does every 9 week fetus not aborted make it to delivery alive?”

Nice argument. So, since I might not make it to work tomorrow because I might get smashed by a semi..i should just kill myself. Makes sense.

9 week UNBORN BABIES don’t have a “CHOICE” to decide if it could make it to full term. The Mom’s “CHOICE” denies any “CHOICE” of the baby.

pammala, you are truly pathetic. I did not say that “sandi thinks that because the Constitution states a person with rights is when they are born”, I also did not say “that the fetus is not human”. I said that is when “life” is considered to happen in the Constitution. That is all there is. You can read into it as you like or claim I have, but you are wrong as usual.

It is the folks like you who do not support access to prevention and free services for all which would lessen the need and the number of abortions, free sterilization for anyone over 18, free birth control, (condoms, the pill, etc), comprehensive education on human sexuality, STD’s and sexual activity consequences, as well as adoption, then it is YOU who does not “care for babies at a;;” Are you a “killer sicko clown” for not doing all you can to make abortion the last resort?

As a matter of fact, I think they do call all animals in utero a fetus. Even Dems.

If legal abortion before 20 weeks is murder because an embryo/fetus is a ‘person’, does that mean miscarriages at 20 weeks or less are just fetal suicide?

“I’m sure this has been covered on Dan’s blog recently, but just as a reminder…in at least some cases (or is that lawsuits?) Catholics do not consider a fetus to be a person prior to birth:

Say What?, I’ve brought this subject up several times on the blog, but our own greatest Catholic in the world, ‘suzie’ refuses to comment about it.

a human fetus will not magically turn out to be a frog or horse, or kitten, it is a human and there is nothing you can do about it except to change it to what you think will make you feel better about murdering the child.
