Their government was considering a ban on live worms as fish bait under revisions to its animal protection laws - but only if it hurt.

Next, I'm sure, they will pass laws banning abortion. (But only if it hurts)

The people who worry that perhaps fishing worms feel pain wouldn't ban abortions if the babies were screaming in agony. In fact, faced with evidence of babies born alive in abortion mills and doing just that (before being drowned or suffocated), they shrug their shoulders.

Hard to believe? Not if you're familiar with that great Princeton philosopher Peter Singer and the bioethicists who have followed his lead.
