Then pre-born babies can be classified as human life, right?

[Hieronymus]

Does this give the Babylonia Bee the same status as the National Catholic Reporter, which is known in some circles as “Fishwrap”?

[skeeter]

Why the hell not.

On a scale of 1-to-10, where does that put the Unicorn?

[coloradan]

Well, they have no idea what a woman is, so, this makes perfect sense.

[nuke_road_warrior]

More importantly, can worker bees, now identify as drones?

[bert]

Actually, this misrepresents the matter.

The law in addition to fish and other vertebrates, includes invertebrates.

Bees, Apis melifora, are invertebrates and thus subject to the law.

This article is the result of journalistic and thus subsequent reader ignorance

Words no longer mean things.

Fish? Woman? Insurrection? Life? They mean whatever far left-wing democrats want them to mean.

Thank-you

So bees are fish and boys are girls and girls are boys. Is there some kind of a national compulsion to always adopt the insane position in any debate?

Why do those who maintain their truthful connection to reality get trashed by those whose demented perceptions deny them access to reality?

[Bubba_Leroy]

Actually, this misrepresents the matter.

Nope. Read the opinion.

"The issue presented here is whether the humble bee, a terrestrial invertebrate, falls within the definition of fish, as that term is used in the definitions of endangered species ... threatened species ... and candidate species" in the California Endangered Species Act.

You can never assume that a California court is less stupid than it appears.

[Bubba_Leroy]

That should have read “bumble bee” not “humble bee.” Damned auto spell correction.

[jdsteel]

Do the bees identify as fish?

Do they do that individually or collectively, as in a hive?

And what is a woman bee/fish?

[marron]

“The law is whatever we say it is.”

[Carriage Hill]

I’d be lying if I said I even understood this idiotic crap.

[Rio]

I want my bees to be ponies.

[DoodleDawg]

A badly written bill containing a loophole that they waltzed right through. Can’t blame them for taking advantage of it.

[COBOL2Java]

But can male bees identify as female?
