Oh my god, exactly this. Who gives a shit if it’s a baby or a fetus or whatever the fuck else? I could never be forced to provide an organ for another person, and no one could ever be hooked up to my body so that they could use my kidneys to filter their blood (I’m picturing organic dialysis here). But I guess I get…

“I personally believe that life is special, that human life is special and there’s a sanctity — that we’re more than just clay and dirt,” he said.

Exactly! I’m fine with any doctor who wants to try to save the life of a fetus and I would object to anyone deliberately trying to kill a fetus AFTER it has been removed. If they want to hook it up to artificial life support, that’s fine. But nobody should be able to force ANY human being to BE life support for anyone…

Three things to remember about Rand Paul:

Up until the fetus is expelled from the uterus it is, essentially, a parasite.

It’s really quite simple. A baby has rights as soon as it emerges from its mother’s uterus, which is also the moment that it becomes a baby. Prior to that, it’s a fetus. Fetuses do not have rights, because they are not living, breathing human beings. Gawd... why is science so hard for these wack jobs to understand?

“Personally, I’m excited to watch his campaign. It’ll be like watching an old fashioned barn burning”

I can. not. understand why in the hell conservatives are still discussing this. No, Rand. “We” do not have to figure out when a fetus gets “rights”. When there is a fetus in your uterus then that’s when you get to decide what to do with it.

Rand Paul is from the Tea Party/libertarian mix that I like to refer to as the libertea crowd. The libertea crowd is populated mostly by angry white guys. This is Rand Paul’s base. This is who he is counting on to support him in NH - where I live. The libertea crowd is big and vocal here, and have caused a schism in…

I’m glad Rand doesn’t believe that we are golems.

Even Megyn Kelly called him out on his bullshit (to his face), calling him “thin-skinned” and “overly emotional.”

See? Men are just TOO emotional to be president. What if he gets into a spiteful bad mood and launches nukes or something? Men have such delicate feelings and just can’t control them, the poor dears.

“Somehow we have to decide when a baby gets rights,” he said, arguing that people generally believe a one-pound baby born prematurely has more rights than a larger baby that’s been aborted. “It seems like an abrupt diminution of rights.”

“I personally believe that life is special, that human life is special and there’s a sanctity — that we’re more than just clay and dirt,” he said.

Lilly’s the only one I consistently like. She’s so snarky, like she’s the only non-ridiculous one and she knows it.

This story is a great demonstration of how copyright law is intended to function. It’s supposed to protect an artist’s work from being used for profit by others without permission. The policy of copyright is hard to defend when it’s a bunch of mega-corporations CADing non-profit fan projects to death, so it’s nice…

I love trollface. It’s just one of those things that looks inherently funny

Sometimes.
