"Right to Life" Weirdness

The obvious thought is the delusion that so many of those types of people seem to have that the "life" of a fertilized egg is somehow more important than a living human. This couple met at a "right-to-life" protest. They didn't kill their unborn baby, they just let it die after it was born. I'm glad they're being tried for murder and I hope their older child who's still alive gets placed with a kind and loving family.

The way I feel about abortion is simple: If you think it's wrong, don't do it. Better yet, don't get pregnant. Don't get somebody else pregnant. But if somebody else does it, keep your own damn religious beliefs to yourself. And CUT OUT THE HYPOCRISY!

The "right-to-lifers" are no different from the Neocons who make their mark spouting homophobia, and then get busted hustling gay hookers in public restrooms. Same thing. They pretend to only be concerned over the "sanctity of life," and yet they support killing, as long as the killing is done by a Republican administration, I guess. Attacking a country that did nothing to us with the resulting deaths, so far, approaching a million, is OK. But a woman having control over her own body is not OK.

Unless, of course, it's their own daughter. In which case abortion is OK, as long as you don't get caught. They even teach their teenagers the same kind of hypocrisy: stay a virgin until marriage (translated into teenspeak: oral and anal sex are OK, but no vaginal penetration).

Why do these "right-to-lifers" pick on that one issue? It's not because they believe in the sanctity of life, obviously. If they did, they wouldn't do the things they do. Is it because they want to control women's bodies? There is something to that, I think. All the theofascist type religions always want to subjugate women and control the sexual behavior of their followers. I wonder why that is. I can see why the Catholic Church does it the way they do--no birth control, reproduce little Catholics by the millions. It's obviously in their monetary interest to breed more. But the fundamentalists? Why do they get into that one?

Ahh well, I'll probably never know why. It doesn't matter. The disgusting hypocrisy is what really disgusts me. Their entire being is built on a big lie. It's all about power and control over others. I wonder why they don't all go someplace like Afghanistan and live with the Taliban. Same basic philosophy, just a different supernatural being.
