Not, not the guy in the first item, I&#8217;m talking fetuses who have never had a brain.  The US army wants to force women relying on them for healthcare to cary brainless fetuses to term.  <\/p>\n<h5>Important points in that article<\/h5>\n<blockquote><p>What many people don&#8217;t realize, she said, &#8220;is that an anencephalic pregnancy could be over a year in gestation. One of the nasty things not many know is that because the brain is not developed, the fetus doesn&#8217;t send a signal that it is ready to come out.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>that speaks for itself.  And:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 2003, the government lawyers also cited moral arguments for denying military medical coverage. Prohibiting federal funding of abortions &#8220;reflects and effectuates a moral judgment to value all human life, including the life of an anencephalic infant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s refusal to fund abortion &#8220;furthers the government&#8217;s interest in protecting human life in general and promoting respect for life,&#8221; the lawyers said in their appeal.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If they care os much about one non-brain-having fetus, imagine how much they care about everyone in Iraq.  If they&#8217;re so morally clear that they will defend even the most horrible, terminal, fatal, suffering-inducing, unsurvivable congenital birth defects, then the must be 100% absolutely, positively clear in Iraq.  It would certainly be a cynical ploy to draw a bright line in a murky area to pretend that everything behind that line is 100% ok, you know, to imply a moral purity where none whatsoever exists.<br \/>\nFor those keeping score at home:  Lack of brain = good.  Poor = bad.  third world = really bad.<\/p>\n<h4>My concert<\/h4>\n<p>8:00 PM tuesday, April 5th in the Chapel on the Wesleyan Campus.<br \/>\nTag: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Celesteh\" rel=\"tag\">Celesteh<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ignorance is strength &#8220;We&#8217;ve been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture,&#8221; said &#8220;pastor and parent Ray Mummert, 54&#8221; explaining his opposition to Darwin.
