Actually Life Begins With Creation Of Sperm & Egg. Remember That.

It is important to look at the entire agenda both obvious and hidden when dealing with the religious right. If you are to believe someone like Cruz, Trump, Family Research Council, the extremist churches, et al by their dictums no matter where they occur or how seemingly minor, you have to take the OP title seriously.

Anti abortion laws are morphing into anti sexual behavior laws. Personhood laws like the state referendum coming up in Alabama, anti sex toy sales laws, pornography laws, anti masturbation laws, fornication laws, marriage covenant laws, TRAP laws and other laws controlling sexuality are all an invasion of privacy and personal rights on a grand scale.

All of these laws are essentially about religious freedom to dictate to no believers. And using law and enforcement is ok under such conditions. Our complacency and reluctance to strike out at these politicians because the believe in GOP creates fertile ground for these laws and other dictatorial practices to proliferate. All of the laws mentioned and more will come to pass if the GOP and its religious extremist allies get their way. And the states are the ones moving these laws forward.

So remember if you happen to have a 'wet dream" you might be violating the law Or if woman menstruates she might also be violating the law because her egg went unused

In the end they are having serious health and life consequences on everyone who is NOT religious.

You don't have to look to sperm and ova (which are half lives) to find mountainous religious christian zealot hypocrisy.

If they truly believed that life begins at conception -- and they will get in your face to tell you they do with sorrowful eyes and forceful conviction -- if they were true to their stated beliefs they would be scanning public women's toilets for 4 and 8 and 16 cell (and on up) embryos that have spontaneously aborted, which happens often.

They would install "baby catcher" filters and spend hours examining the results.

When they find a microscopic embryo, they would give it a full funeral and burial, as if it were one of their own children. Or try to save it and implant it in a willing zealot christian host mother.

But they don't, do they?

They don't even do that in their own home. Not even if they have a teenage daughter. Not even if the husband and wife are actively trying to procreate.

In their heart of hearts and a dim corner of their brain, the rational corner, they know that "life" is a progression of viability until the moment of birth when it becomes incontrovertible.

But they say otherwise, of course.

The Authoritarian Follower mindset depends on binary thinking, moral absolutes, simplistic certainties that ultimately are unrealistic.
