Hey Marco: It's none of your goddamn business what a woman does with her own body. When the hell are you Republicans going to get the hell out of other people's personal lives and very personal decisions?
(Rubio is running for the Senate again here in Florida. Screw him.)
"I understand a lot of people disagree with my view but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws. And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, its a difficult question and a hard one," Rubio told POLITICO.
"But if Im going to err, Im going to err on the side of life."

(58,785 posts)wrong side of history. With global warming, Zika will sweep advanced nations and extremely populous ones, not just ones with less voice, and will change religious views and national laws around the planet. The Pope knows. The only thing that can save the no-abortion-no-matter-what political wings is fairly swift development of a vaccine.

(14,853 posts)The white evangelical Christians are overwhelmingly supporting Trump against Clinton according to a recent FOX poll, 69% to 19%!!! That was the same poll that showed Clinton leading overall by 10%.
Holy cow.
I guess people might think it's murder of a human IF they think there's a magical soul in there at conception. What about chimeras? The eggs that fuse together soon after they're each fertilized? Do those people have TWO SOULS??? Good grief!
I don't consider fetuses to be "human" until their brain waves are human-like, and that doesn't happen for MANY WEEKS! It's the same basis for how adults are deemed "brain dead" and get their life support pulled, so we might as well keep it consistent!
The unique brain wave patterns persist through sleep, various comas, etc.
