No. You can have a heartbeat and still be dead. Evidence of brain function is the universal indicator. The heart and lungs are just support systems for the brain after all.

In my state we have Lisa Murkowski trying to blaze a road through a wildlife refuge because she’s “concerned about a community’s access to health care during bad weather” while with the other hand she is pulling the voting levers to scrap the ACA.

Changing the two-party system is not a bad goal. But FFS, THIS was not the election to decide to do it.

There’s always the dilemma you can pose to them: “I’m holding in one hand a Petri Dish with fertilized cells that have a heartbeat; in the other, I’m holding a newborn baby. I’m going to drop them both, and you can only catch one. Which one will you catch?”

They won’t.

Also, too: Remember that once the baby is born, no head start, no school lunches, no welfare, nothing for that little leach. Because “Conservative Principles”*

Theyre very left wing. So let wing they’ve circled back around to the right wing. They just haven’t noticed yet.

To go old-school biology, the 7 signs of life are: motion, respiration, growth (from immature to adult form; regeneration of cells), reproduction, excretion of wastes, and intake/metabolism of nutrition, and response to stimuli. A living organism displays or is able to perform all (except sexually reproduction at…

I voted for Hillary and will enjoy complaining about the shitty campaign she ran. By the way, condescending to people who disagree with you is a super awesome way to change their mind.

I say to them “if it’s alive, please just go ahead and take it from my body and raise it yourself.” “But it won’t live.” “Then it’s not alive.” They sputter.

Not a medical professional, but nope. My grandmother died and they had to stop her pacemaker in order to make her heart stop. Her heart was beating (with help), but she had definitely passed already.

Women still die giving birth. Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate of all industrialized nations.

None of us are innocent if we led someone astray made some poor man stick his dick in us.

In several Key States the difference between Trump and Hillary was lower(in some cases far lower) than the number of people who voted Stein.

I am still convinced people in power see pregnant women as incubating zombies. They have no say, no input, and no will to control themselves from aborting willy nilly.

But remember people, Hillary was just as bad as Trump and people who voted Third Party just so they could personally feel good aren’t selfish in anyway.

In other news, Trump has just been completely outmanoeuvred by Mexico in a single move. The Mexican Minister for the Economy has announced the obvious: that, since Trump’s punitive border tax plans are a move to hurt Mexico and any companies currently manufacturing products there, it will need to neutralise those…

In today’s troll-filled Kinja climate, it’s nice to have the relatively-benign Tomato around. At least you know what you’re getting.

They are trying to be the perfect specimen of Aryan womanhood. ;(
