Hypocrisy of gigantic proportions

I say "gigantic", because at this very moment, I cannot think of anything more important that life.

I cannot fathom how anyone can be so all over the place on the value of human life, and still look in the mirror every morning.

Al a Akin, a woman's life is secondary to that of a fetus. Live or die, the mother's needs are not important, the fetus trumps all. So life is extremely sacred?

BUT....stand your ground laws tolerates and excuses the killing of another human being.

BUT....Death penalties tolerate the killing of another human being.

BUT....Lack of health care (HCA would be repealed under A Rep POTUS), would result in insurance companies killing another human being.

so, I wonder if Akin and all of his like minded fellows can explain to me where and why there is a differentiation between who gets to live and die under their political philosophies where all life is sacred?

BUT...unnecessary wars based on lies kill 100,000s of humans for no reason other than for profit and empire.

Point taken...

I had one child born Jan 2 and another two years later on Jan 3. Can't tell you how disapointed I was, in missing out twice on the tax deduction!!!!

ps.....then, why not insure these zygotes and claim life insurance bennies when there is a miscarriage?
