Which is why I bite my tongue repeatedly when posting on an internet board. I'm almost always successful in quashing that instant response. Almost.

Some days it's harder than others.

I believe that thinking is quite beyond the abilities of a number of these cretins.

But those buggers don't gestate in a uterus, so I guess that's the wrong terminology. It might be in gastro, do you think?

got pregnant and he had to search around for a vet that would perform the abortion and fix the cat. It seems there are a lot of vets who won't perform abortions on animals. Maybe cats look too much like humans at that stage ?

Vets who are willing to fix pregnant animals charge more, because the process is trickier.

Good one! And I needed it.

I'm really tired from staying up late last night. Thanks for the pick me up so that maybe I'll be able to stay awake for the rest of the work day.

When it comes to thinking about biology and fetal development they seem to not to want to think. They believe what they believe and facts don't matter.

I do like the image and text but I don't think it's enough to actually make a hard core believer actually think about their position.
