Please cite an example of a "snide comment".
... it is not whether the embryo or fetus is in fact a human being that you care about...
Wrong. I do not believe that an embryo or fetus is a human being because there is no independent consciousness or independent ability to function as a human being (as I have stated to you in previous posts). I believe the reproductive process must be complete - including birth - before human being status is achieved. I know there is disagreement here which is why your following comment is way off the mark:
(as if you have found the final answers to the deep things)
I have not found the final answers to these matters and neither have you. That is why this should NOT be in the political arena and should remain in the personal arena of religious belief.
it is your political imperative that rules your belief system.
I am not the one who is trying to get the political power to allow my religious beliefs to determine your reproductive choices. I do not hold candidates to a litmus test of pro-choice or anti-choice regarding reproduction. Your "movement" does that.
So clintonesque
Are you not aware of the policy of no degrogatory personal attacks here?
