So basically what you are telling me is that since the unborn have souls, it is in their best interest to kill them while in the womb? Your case is getting weaker and weaker. Tell me, when exactly does your respect for life begin? When is that exact point when you can say that the fetus is human and has God-given rights? Surely you can't say when it passes through the birth canal. It has a beating heart and a functioning brain before that. You can't say that it is when these vital organs appear, because you don't know that exact moment. Growth is an ongoing process. Just because it doesn't look like a human, it's not a human? So if some extremely deformed child was a burden to it's mother, the mother has the right to end it's life? The point is, that baby has a DNA structure of it's own. It is not the mother's, and it is not the father's. It is a separate entity. A living growing human. Any respectable doctor will concede to that.

I am astounded that you are still defending the animals. Let's take a hypothetical situation. Let's say that all animals (including humans) did not kill for the purposes of food. Are you aware that it is a scientific fact that insects would infest all of our crops because spiders and other predators would not eat them, and they would be too great in number for the crops to regrow in time to be harvested by us? Therefore we would have no means of sustenance. Therefore all life would die out. Now explain to me how that is better than keeping the natural balance of the food chain.

Why couldn't there be cloning of plant or meat cells, so that there'd no longer be a need to kill plants & animals for our food? It's the height of hypocrisy that the folks who pretend to care about life get in the way of protecting it by whining whenever cloning technology is pursued here. Fortunately the USA is merely one of hundreds of nations, and cloning is being pursued full throttle abroad. Overseas they laugh at how our nation lets Bible-thumpers who have never perused any other books nevertheless slow our progress.

Apes have DNA that's around 98% the same as that of humans. I don't see right to lifers fighting to protect ALREADY BORN apes from poachers, or inhumane conditions in zoos, or potential extinction though. Again, more hypocrisy. For it, the Republican Party's potential progress will be hindered today at the ballotbox.
