Geez, aren't you the same guy who said it was cruel baby killing to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, a creature lacking the brain, heart, and nerve-endings of a kitten? If that act is cruelty, this certainly is.

Not sure if you're specifically accusing me of having said that or not, or just making a general statement. You'll have to clear that one up.

Is the use of the word "creature" a Freudian slip? I think it reveals what you might really think about the abortion issue.

Creature in the older sense implies a created being, human, animal, or otherwise. Nowadays it carries a connotation of negativity or brutality.
