recently that people who are pro choice are ignorant of embryology. I decided not to challenge him because I was having lunch with him and his wife, but he was the one who brought up politics, and I didn't think getting into a fight was the thing to do. His wife eventually said "I need to go to the bathroom", which broke up lunch, and which, I suspect she said on purpose to get him to stop.
But I wanted to tell him it wasn't about embryology. Does he think all Jewish MD's don't know embryology? It's about religion, specifically a certain brand of religion, and that the Constitution protects us from certain religions trying to impose their rules on the rest of us.
First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
14th Amendment: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I think the embryology argument is a recent talking point of the anti-choice crowd. You have to flat out tell people who want to use it, no, it's not about embryology. It's about "you" wanting to impose your religious beliefs on women when it's none of your goddamned business.
