Yep. Just TRY and get a LIVE zygote by combining a sperm
and an ovum where one or the other or both of those are DEAD.

SO MUCH for that **inane** notion that "life *begins* at
fertilization."

Gametes (sperm and ova) -- JUST like zygotes, embryoes,
and fetuses --

-- are human (adj.) (They contain DNA that is human.)
-- are unique
-- comprise one of the 4 stages of the reproductive process
-- are indispensable to the births of ALL human beings (people)
-- *potential* people. (Only the ODDS are longer.)

NOTHING authoritative, from a Biblical, medical, or scientific
standpoint, accords any sort of "specialness" to the simple
*mechanical" action of bringing gametes together. For anyone
to pretend otherwise is to subscribe to absurd, humanly-concocted
dogma. And it's done countless thousands of times every day in
petri dishes. It's no big deal.

Now -- here's the FUN part of all of this... RECOGNITION of the
incredible **hypocrisy** of the ANTI-Choice nitwits who artificially
regard mere RPEs (the Reproductive-Process Entities that comprise
the four stages leading toward the personhood that is accorded --
both Biblically and legally -- at *birth*... HIGHER than girls and
women. The millions of girls and women they seek to VICTIMIZE by
FORCING full gestation upon them against their will (tantamount to
a 9-month-long *rape*!).

Those repressive, deluded, and usually ignorant people were
a *new* breed of bigot, who were destined, for a season, to
fill the void that was left after the segregationists' agendas drop-
ped out from under them like a trapdoor on a gallows. Nature
abhors a vacuum. So what was a bigot to do? As it turned out,
for those who didn't outgrow their immature and ludicrous bigotry.
not much but stew in misery until a NEW target of opportunity
presented itself.

Then along came a new HERO for the remaining and upcoming
bigots and bigot wanna-bes with no lives, and very tangible
sadistic streaks: Jerry Falwell. Who started a brand-new hate
cult for them. Based, as always, on the infusion to its targeted
lemmings of carefully-crafted and lying propaganda that was
designed to make certain personal liberties anathema in the minds
of the adherents.

The inception of what we now know as the very UN-Christian
splinter group of America's *professing* Christians -- the RRR
Cult ("Religious" Radical Right) -- was called, ironically, the
"Moral Majority." Steeped in mindless hate, it cultists were pre-
cisely as IMMORAL as the segregationists had been. And, thank-
fully for America's sake, they were 'WAY in the *minority.*

Almost from the start, their numbers comprised no more than
6% of America's professing Christians. They were comprised of
NON-Christians who sought to cloak themselves in the mantle of
respectability that Christianity accorded them. (Which, of course,
was to do GRIEVOUS damage to Christianity in ensuing decades,
as it became more and more tainted by the misperception of
society that the RRR was somehow *representative* of that
faith. By the 1990s, and especially by today, that misperception
on the part of millions has proven so damaging that it's anyone's
guess just how many *thousands* -- or more -- people have been
dissuaded from EVER coming to Christ. Those potential Christians
were so turned off by the hatefulness and bigotry of the high-
profile RRR cultists that they'd find it more worthwhile to attend
a rat fight than have anything to do with Christianity.

And, too, the RRR's oligarchical leadership (8 personality-led
organizations, and a syndicated columnist -- Cal Thomas) was
very successful at CONNING their prime targets for recruitment...
*actual* Christians of limited mentality who were the least
capable of seeing through the propaganda and semantic word-
games that the cult employed. Disinformation which MOST
people of average-and-above intelligence would see through in
a heartbeat. The leaders had QUITE a base to target, since
15% of Americans have IQs under 85, and a full 2% are below'
70, which is regarded as the threshold of mild retardation.

83% of Americans, per Gallup and other respected and
accurate polling organizations, are *professing* Christians. The
other 17% of the people are non-Christians of other faiths,
including atheism. Thus, the RRR Cult started right off having
numbers equal to 5% of the U.S. population, and it has remained
at that level for the three decades since.

The cult's leaders are CRAFTY, and are always aware of
two things:

(1) INFILTRATE the organizations from which they choose
to wield their influence and power, and leave the
infiltrators IN PLACE, to transform those organizations
from *within*. Traditional cults remove them, and
bring them into separate entities. This is FAR more
effective. This is how the RRR has transformed the
formerly-respectable Republican Party into the hateful
and callous Culture of Corruption that it has proven
itself to be since shortly before Watergate. (It's no
coincidence that the downhill slide of the Republican
Party's integrity began with the birth of the RRR Cult.

(2) Destroying liberty in a mostly-apathetic society, when
done carefully over time, is as sure a thing as boiling
up a frog if the heat in increased gradually. And... it
doesn't take MUCH poison to kill a victim. Thus:

RRR Cult : Society :: 5% arsenic solution : glass of drinking water

...AS were the gamete, zygote, and embryonic stages that
preceded it...

EXACTLY as it is absolute nonsense to state that *gametes*
aren't alive... unique... human (adj.)... and Stage ONE of the
reproductive process.

So you won't find PRO-Choicers that claim that *any* RPE
stage isn't alive. However, unlike the doltish ANTI-Choicers,
we also are intelligent enough to know THIS:

Acorn : Oak Tree :: Human RPE : Human *Being* (Person)

Since most RRR cultists CLAIM to be Christians, they should
be aware that the Bible makes it *clear* that PERSONHOOD
*begins* at BIRTH. In its passages stressing the importance of:

-- BIRTH order -- First-BORNS and... -- BIRTHrights.

And... the Bible NEVER regards any RPEs as *people*. But
just ONCE, it defends an RPE; in this case a fetus. In this
passage: Ex. 21:20-25. Which regards the fetus merely to be
PROPERTY. And the passage *condones* SLAVERY!

ALL human life that is ever defended AS people in the Bible
have been BORN.

In conclusion, there's that HYPOCRISY I mentioned earlier.

RRR Cultists don't give a damn for the future opportunities
and well-being of the girls' and women's lives they are trying
to louse up. (Which is a REJECTION of Jesus *command* that
His followers show love and compassion to their neighbors. So
much for RRR Cultists being *Christians*!)

And they look the other way and whistle a tune while no
fewer than a quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) per DAY
*potential* people are being electively aborted worldwide...
by MEN.

And THAT is *hypocrisy* to the infinite power!

GOD'S "WIN-WIN-WIN" SITUATION

God is omniscient and omnipotent. That means that He has
always KNOWN everything *about* everything, past present
and future. And that He may freely INTERACT, uniquely, with
any person, group, or all humanity, however and whenever He
chooses.

Trillions (indeed, even octillions) of years ago, God KNEW
just *which* human entities (from sperm and ova on, inclu-
sive) would be born, and which ones would NOT, for what-
ever reason. In the case of Jeremiah, He interacted BEFORE
Jeremiah reached the womb -- while Jeremiah was STILL at
the sperm-and-ovum stage! (Jer. 1:5). In THAT case, at
least, the soul had been instilled at the sperm-and-egg
stage -- the stage at which God communicated with Jeremiah.

So it's VERY possible that God instills ALL souls at that
stage... since God ALREADY knows which of them will later
become people, and which ones will not. And if He chooses
to instill souls in ALL of those, then heaven must be a VERY
populated place. And any potential people that happened to
have been aborted then got a FREE pass to heaven. And
missed the RISK that is faced by all of us here on earth.

And then, there also is the very REAL possibility that God
chooses to instill souls ONLY in the entities that He KNOWS,
beforehand, *will* be BORN. Then there are NO free passes
to heaven. But that's no loss to the QUINTILLION human
entities, daily, that never knew the difference.

Any way you look at it, it's a "win-win" situation for God.
Which makes it no great surprise that He never said so much
as ONE SINGLE WORD against abortion. Since abortion is a
highly-valuable REMEDY that enables millions of women to put
their lives BACK on track, and gives them another chance to
pursue their full ranges of future opportunities, the availability
of it is FAR more in line with God's COMPASSION (and the
compassion that Jesus commanded us to show to others),
than it would be for women to be FORCED to carry-to-term
against their will, and see many of their opportunities and
their well-being destroyed. (Particularly since God ALSO
was/is well-aware that MOST women who DO obtain abortions
go on later to HAVE children, by choice, when the timing is
better, and the circumstances and prospects for long-term
stable family environments are far more favorable.)

For God, the status quo is "win-win-win"
