1. These are the SAME people who, when they see a baby of color, they think: "Kill it!"

So, do they want them to be born in order to kill them? Inquiring minds want to know.

2. If there is no heart yet, then there is no heartbeat.

This is elementary logic. And if it is not six weeks since conception, then this is not really the end of the sixth week of pregnancy. It was understandable to worry about these things. We now know that the heart has not yet developed, and the embryo has not been growing for six weeks.

6. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

A mass of differentiating cells is NOT a heartbeat, NOT an independent human, NOT a "person."

In fact, I bet if you showed a six-week-old human embryo with a comparable embryo of a reptile, a bird, a dog, and a cow, there are quite a few of these meddling busybodies who could NOT tell you which was was human. Because at that early stage, they all look pretty close to identical. INCLUDING tails! And YES, YOU had a tail, too, when you were only six weeks in development!

8. I will relate this nauseating experience from over a decade ago here again.

Matter of fact this was nearly 15 years ago.
There was a new coffee-snob outfit had opened in the small city I was contracted for work.
Game to try it, I was taken aback with the biggest screen teevee I'd ever seen in my life... blaring FOX NEWS all over way too small a venue for such an overwhelming screen.
Already one strike against...
There was a line to get coffee but no one coming in the door I scouted about for reading material-- comfy couches, tables, chairs but the only "reading material" were two pamphlets.
One was a "pro-life" propaganda, complete with gory bloody pictures of (obviously) full term babies.
Strike two.
The other pamphlet was how some cruel God would punish all "perverts" (LGBTQ) with hellfire, eternal damnation and how "we good Xtians" must arm to protect ourselves from these...
As I read on, my jaw dropped. This pamphlet suggested if doctors could find the genetic clues to "prevent" tha gay....................
(as in... aborting gay babies would be acceptable).
The barista indicated she was ready to take my order.
I dropped the pamphlet, walked out the door and never returned.
