  • Wtf would you watch a show called the young turks pretty much saying the young muslims.

  • So now Rick Santorum is into telling Black people what to think?

  • Comment removed

  • lol...reporter is clearly autistic. And, by the way, it turns out that you were completely 100% wrong at the beginning of the video. Take your communist authoritarian bullshit and stick it up your fat ass.

  • @lamochris My son is autistic. Thank you for your contribution with a wonderful comment and amazing sense of comparison in between human behavior and a medical condition.

  • He is racist You can find videos of him saying other things against the African Americans google it

  • Rick is a DL type I will bet You he is.

  • This is a dumb video with a dumb commentator. Keep pushing this so called racism. Because liberals ideology is so illogical, you have to come up with crap like this

  • I HATE COMMERCIALS ... however ... thanks for the info ...

  • I HATE COMMERCIALS ... however ... thanks for the info ...

  • Santorum's words , "I don't think you'll find a biologist in the world who will say that [a child in the womb] is not a human life." I believe the host @1:35 in his commentary is blithely misquoting Santorum . If someone does find a biologist to prove Santorum wrong, I'd be curious to hear what that biologist thinks the child in the womb is, if not a human life.

  • @kenjames00 What your confusing is "human life" with "living person" By definition a tumor is "human life" yet your so quick about wanting to get rid of that =P

  • @KimmiTheAwesome By that logic igneous rock is flammable because ignis is latin for fire

    And an electrical insulator must be surrounded by a body of water because insul is the latin for island

    And people that are bilingual must literally have two tongues, because that's how 'bilingual' translates into latin

    And everyone know that latex gloves are made of water because latex is the Latin word for liquid!

    Need I explain how stupid it is to use the origin of a word to define it?

  • NO AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTES FOR HIM... HIS TO DUMB

  • @somedayist all their votes would go to obamma anyways.

  • he doesn't say that there isn't a biologist that doesn't agree that life begins at conception he is saying that it is human life at conception which why would you argue with that?

  • Oh noe he said the forbidden b-word

  • did he really say that? lol wow

  • RON PAUL FOR 2012

  • Once you go black....

  • UH-OH...Santorum...you just fucked yourself lol

    RON PAUL 2012!

    -focker out

  • BEING BRIBED BY THE REPUBLICANS, WHEN, FOR DECADES AND GENERATIONS, DEMS HAVE BEEN BRIBING THE MONKEYS.

    SO, 80% TO 98%. WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ELECTIONS THAT'S MORE THAN WHAT CAN MAKE OR BREAK IT FOR A CANDIDATE.

    BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE:

    WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBER 98%, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE -- AND I WISH I COULD UNDERLINE THIS PART -- THE MONKEYS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE VOTED. SO, 80% JUST VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR REASONS 1 2 3. BUT THEN YOU HAVE 18% AND MULTITUDES MORE -- MAYBE HUNDREDS OF THOUSA

  • IM WATCHING HIM ON HANNITY RIGHT NOW

    LETS LOOKA T THIS PRACTICALLY:

    STRAIGHT 2 THE POINT: 90- WHAT- 96%? 98% OF african PUBICHEADS VOTED FOR THIS "100% black president" (WHO IS 50% WHITE AND GREW UP IN LIKE INDONESIA AND HAWAII AND SHIT). NIIINETY EIGHT PERCENT, OK?

    NOW LETS ADD MORE CONTEXT TO THIS NUMBER:

    HISTORICALLY: ~80% OF MONKEYS VOTED DEMOCRAT. AND THE REASONS ARE VERY SIMPLE: 1) affirmative action 2) welfare 3) BRIBES TO MONKEYS 4 VOTES (IT'S IRONIC HOW THEY BLAME tea partiers OF

  • Liberals are idiots!! They want Barack HUSSAIN Obama to win so bad. Face it, his reign is over. He needs to go. He is an embarrassment as a President. It amazes me that there are people calling Santorum a lying Christian but fail to realize HUSSAIN has also said he is a Christian. He may not be a Christian but he is a liar so I guess he has something in common with Santorum.

  • Santorum is a liar like most christians. He stammered because he was having second thoughts about saying the word black. What other word could he have meant? What is so racist is that 85% of people on welfare are white so why pick on the blacks. This guy is a total right wing religious freak. I say keep the freaks coming until we americans get tired of them and keep them out of politics forever. There is no God and there never was.

  • Does anyone have the CC on? Because it is hilarious and completely wrong... Here are some gems:

    "and he's gonna kill them about uh... abortion"

    "that that is not give up requested such as but is that dissection of life imprisoned stitches"

    "Ido most on the first part cooking pork ridiculous"

    "because I am very noisy payment"

    "Chemistry fess he should appreciate more"

  • @KimmiTheAwesome I love you. No homosexual pretenses intended.

  • Who cares .. He said a BLACK man ... whoopie do !

  • 84 percent of food stamp recipients in Iowa are white. Nationally, 70 percent of recipients are white

  • @bearfayce Detroit is rated the most dangerous city in the U.S. Detroit has a 85% African American population

  • @CCRussell44 Duh, thats because white people are taking all the food stamps. Share the wealth, haters!

  • @bearfayce and 100 percent of the time, santorum needs to stfu

  • I agree Cenk was way too nice. This man Santorum is a godless racist.

  • the only thing worse than rick is this dumb shit

  • At a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum singled out blacks as being recipients of assistance through federal benefit programs, telling a mostly-white audience he doesn't want to "make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money." He added: "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."

  • Why Rick does not address the 13 to 35 highest abortion in the country...That happen to be WHITE! Or the fact that 57% of white hosehold are headed by a single female! Or the fact that 59% of white marriage end in divorce! No he and the rest of the Republican party alway talk about black people!!!!!!!!!

  • Rick Santorum couldn't get re-elected in his own state of Pennsylvania! His claim to fame is arguing that wrestler be able to take steroids! When it came to spending Santorum was the air-mark king! Now he criticize government spending, He voted for the bridge to nowhere costing the taxpayers million for nothing!

  • Rick Santorum is raising to third place in the Republican candidates race for President of the United States: SO WHAT!!!!!

  • Santorum wiggles his privates to that quacky 3 Stooges theme.

  • @mansonFan64 You do realize how stupid your comment was I hope. It is you and the pseudo-intellectuals that think they are smart that make the democratic party just seem like a bunch of spoon fed sheep. Go back to 7th grade biology and think about why you made yourself look stupid. For goodness sake people, THINK FOR YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!

  • I understood perfectly what Rick Santorum was saying and I agree with him on both! A baby in the womb is a person and a black, who was denied basic personhood in American history, should not be repeating the same history by denying others personhood!

  • Conception is obviously the beginning of a possible human life but up to a certain point in its development it is a parasite. A fetus lives off the host until viable. That host should have the right to consent to hosting or not and that is not for the government to say. Many years ago the life was not given credence until the quickening. Still carrying and birthing a baby is a private matter and making abortion illegal will only make it available to those that can afford to go elsewhere.

  • You do not have a chance in hell!!!!!!!

  • I still want to know --and anti choicers can't seem to answer this --if they're such staunch defenders of all life, why are they such avid cheerleaders for any war we get into? Those kill kids. What's with the hunting--and how about supporting policies that feed educate and house these kids once they're out of the womb? Or is all this really about punishing women for having sex?

  • The Anti-Life Creed (the back-hand of Pro-Choice):

    A man has the right to do whatever he wants with his body, including kill someone with it.

    Laws do not exist to protect the innocent, small, and vulnerable. Laws only exist to protect the rich and powerful.

    Why vote for a president who values some lives (those who serve him), but not others? What if you're one of the "others"?

  • This planet is already dealing with a rapidly growing problem of overpopulation. We need fewer babies, not more! While I don't consider myself "pro-choice", I do however strongly support abortion. Unwanted fetuses should be destroyed long before they become viable. I would prefer to start with republicans, but I'll settle for fetuses - preferably republican fetuses. If we don't thin the herd, nature certainly will. BTW, Santorum can kiss my ass!

  • wow, where is the funny part, yur talkin about babies being killed... wow youngturks.. woooooo

  • the star on the young turks flag lookin a lil upside down

  • Turks all take it in the poop chute.

  • hell, I don't even consider blacks 3/5ths. They are NOT people. Abort black babies, save society.

  • i agree with him im a black male n wat he said was right we were 1 time 3/5 a person so y should we do the same thing he is kinda racist but he is right

  • Yknow jerk I am tired of your useless tactics with a loud button, sanctimonous bellowing spouting off your libtard views. You are Turk alright but you misspelled the first letter.

  • This Santorum character is an absolute embarrassment to great state of PA, my home.

  • @dmcarefuldriver

    Cenk was way too nice. Santorum thinks the president of the US should think of himself as less than a human being because he's black.

  • . . . Just when I think this man has reached the peak of his ability to be an ignorant douchenozzle, he opens his mouth and my hopes are basically shot to bits.

  • I used to be opposed to abortion until I learned that abortions are disproportionately performed on blacks and liberals. Now I'm all for it.

  • BEWARE RICK SANATARIUM! We here in Pennsylvania already have booted him (yes, FIRED HIM!) from the Senate by a WHOPPING 18 points! WHY would anyone else want this creepy bigot??

  • @AlGeezerTV ...don't worry about him getting fired. I've seen dumber things, like Obama being elected president. Stupid is and stupid does, don't feel bad you're obviously not alone out there.

    ....i see what you did there with Santorum-Sanitarium, i get it. Almost like Obama-Osama, but not nearly as bad or as close, but a good try nonetheless. Have you graduated 8th grade finally, or do you have to take it yet again...? Numbnuts

  • Did frothy rick's wife ever have an abortion?

  • there was nothing racist about the comment. he was just drawing the irony of a black man, who's race was enslaved by fellow americans, defining an embryo or fetus as non-human and thus inanimate and thus property.

  • if only these right wingers would give as much respect to civilians killed in foreign occupations. But to them, civilians killed in Afghanistan or Iraq are just collateral damage and a cost of the business of war. To me its the hypocrisy that stinks the most in this point of view. Nobody wants to kill foetuses, but in some circumstances people will choose to abort a pregnancy. It is not for government or others to limit that choice.

  • If a scientist were to find one living cell on Mars, they would proclaim that they found life on Mars. So what's the difference between one living cell constituting life on Mars and one cell constituting life in the womb? Oh wait, it's because of the implications. That's the difference. If there was life on Mars it wouldn't affect how you live your life, but life in the womb means that you might actually have to practice restraint and respect someone other than yourself.

  • @hesster31

    That's insensitive. One cell inside the womb is not life. Until it can survive on it's own outside the womb, or dream and think it is not alive and does not realize what life is about. If a scientists found a cell on mars, it would be different because it can survive on it's own.

  • Like all the republicans running this is the only time they even mention the constitution. None of them even remotely vote by it or defend it. Only one man has that record of voting and thats Ron Paul and thats where my vote will be going if i have to write it in. Ron Paul 2012

  • Good Lord. Way to twist what he was talking about.

    He was speaking of the high rate of abortions in "the black community." I don't like these kind of statements from a Conservative, but, it's damn hard not to make these kind of statements since the left has been so adamant about dividing the American people into sections. Once we get the majority of people to pay attention to what is going on, we'll get this country turned back on the right track.

    Commies have been quite successful so far.

  • good job turkey.... you managed to put words in Santorum's mouth.

  • TYT are a bunch of far leftist loons!

  • From wikipedia..

    the heart begins to beat on the 23rd day

    a six-week-old human embryo can arch its back and neck

    By seven weeks, movement in the arms and legs can be detected

    At week 11, the fetus can open its mouth and suck its fingers

    at week 12, it begins to swallow amniotic fluid.

    By about the twelfth week, the fetus is able to kick and curl its toes

    -------------

    Stopping a heartbeat and movement sounds like killing to me.

  • I'm the blackest of black men and i find no offense in Senator Santorums statement. Glad you're not afraid to stand up sir and say what needs to be said and not be so confined by the fear of political correctness that you'll be afraid to state the facts. Guess we'll know in the end who's right and wrong when we stand before our Holy God.

  • This TYT raghead speaks perfect muffled English. Is he one of those moderate terrorist? Only in America can you dress a sand monkey in a suit and give him his own TV show. Wow, he even has a clueless token black metrosexual. Multiculturalism is running rampant on TYT. Good for them! Propaganda being spoon fed to the masses. Our tax dollars must be paying for this. Not to mention sugar daddy AKA George " I'll show you where the Jews are hiding" Soros.

  • Rick Santorum is an anti gay, anti black and anti human. He should be kept locked up in a cage and allow to cross breed with donkeys to produce more creatures like himself.

  • @dragonlancet To be anti "gay" is actually PRO-human! It's the homos that CHOOSE an anti-human behavior. What makes Santorum anti-black, anyway?

  • An egg is not a chicken, an acorn is not a tree, and an embryo is not a person.

  • @MansonFan64

    I'm pretty sure an egg is a liquid bird. That was the word on the junior high play ground.

  • @MansonFan64 you are a moron

  • @boddenoutdoors How am I a moron? Would you care to back up your claims?

  • @MansonFan64 no an embryo is not a "person" because it hasn't even been born yet...but that's not the question...IS IT ALIVE...that's the question.

  • @nsu1997 I don't believe that life begins at conception. I believe that life begins when you're born. Also, they abort the "fauxtus" before it even has a nervous system. Even if it were "alive", it wouldn't feel a damn thing.

  • @MansonFan64 it's not a matter of what you "believe" it's a matter of what "is". Truth isn't relative. But maybe I just forgot that in today's world everything is seen as subjective...

    Also, are you trying to say that the nervous system is what decides if you're human or not? What if having two legs was what qualified you as human? Or the ability to see? Are amuptees or blind people not human then? If you follow that path of thinking then, quite honestly, that's the same philsophy Hitler had.

  • @birdcalledhope333

    I think that as soon as you can dream, think, and kick you are a human being. Scientists say babies do that while still in the womb. I actually don't consider them alive before then because they don't really know whats going on and cannot think for themselves. They don't even know what it means to live.

  • @MansonFan64 you do know that an egg develops into a chick only if it is fertilized, right? That's something people generally learn in grade school, I believe. Hens lay eggs but they won't hatch as chicks unless they are fertilized.

    Eggs by themselves are unfertilized.

    Zygote = fertilized egg

    Zygotes form into embyros.

    Try cracking open a textbook sometime...it might do you some good :) There's a lot of truth in science.

  • @MansonFan64 obama is a black-man????

  • @MansonFan64

    Typical liberal. Trying to justify the fact that you murder babies inside the womb. Only a scumbag like yourself would support abortion AFTER you have already been born. Self centered, heartless human beings. That is all you liberals are.

  • @chris62008 You immediately start insulting instead of addressing the point. Is an egg a chicken? Is an acorn a tree? Jesus tended to answer challenges rationally rather than calling people hateful names, right?

  • @envyops

    So when a woman gets pregnant, what starts to grow inside of her? A BABY! Correct? You can try and cover up your murder by insisting it is a "fetus" but I think we both know what happens when a man gets a woman pregnant... A baby comes... That is unless it dies naturally in the womb or it is murdered in the womb by people like you. Correct?

    And by the way... only a liberal would compare a human life to an acorn... shameless....

  • @MansonFan64 first off you didn't clarify if the egg was fertilized or not. and for that analogy to work you'd have to say "an embryo is not an adult," instead of "a person," because you're relating the early stage to the late stage, instead of the early stage to the name of the being. and all three of those things have the same scientific classification regardless of whether they are an acorn or an oak tree; a (fertilized) egg or a chicken; an embryo or an adult.

  • @MansonFan64 that is one of the scariest comments I have ever read.

  • I don't agree with him at all, but I understand what he meant. It's like when I wonder why black people would ever support the bible given that it supports and encourages slavery. Since they were recent victims of that mentality, I would expect to find a higher level of repulsion.

  • It ain't a discussion if everyone agrees.

  • I think people who feel the need to shorten the word "people" to ppl need to augment their vocabulary or be forced infertile as their seed should no longer prosper.

  • Comment removed

  • it true you freaking idiot except for you, your momma should have been terminated

  • i think teen should be forced into abstinince all over the world and

    also force ppl to need a licence to have kids.

  • @BRm2008 No, the government already has way too much control. They tell when you can teach your kids how to drive, how you can discipline, what to feed your kids. Stop taking over parent's jobs! Teens over 16 are legally allowed to have sex. That liscence won't work, 1. because it is selfish, and 2. there is something called a mistake child. How are you going to avoid pregnancy? Only have sex on days the government says so? People like you make me sick

  • @TastyPlainPizza No they should be forsed to not have kid and have sex.

  • Young Turks talking about a big jerk.

  • Rick Santorum is the reason "ass-to-mouth" was invented.

  • Santorum (san-TOR-um) n. 1. That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

    This was actually a definition that HE earned and was created specifically for him.

  • Rick Sanitarium.

  • It's murder. Plain and simple. Just because we want to ease our conscience and give it another name does not make it non murder. I'm secure with myself enough to say it. It is what it is. My other issue is fucking PETA type people who will throw red paint on beautiful fur coats because of animal torture but then in the same breath support abortion. I'm an equal opportunist. As long as I don't pay for it, it's your choice to kill baby seals and babies.

  • @Vitaluv

    I an pro-choice. I support PETA also. Think of a human, no predators, top of food chain. That is a good thing until we get to overpopulation. It's our responsibility to keep our population stable. By abortion, adopting, abstinence, or not having so many damn kids! All of the natural animal habitats are being cut down for human's selfish reasons.

  • @TastyPlainPizza No, i'm sorry I won't think of killing an innocent baby as a good way to control the population thank you very much. This world is not going to be over populated. And personally it's not everyone who is destroying this earth, but a certain group of people. But I will not get into that here because that's a whole other soap box for me and I just came back from a barbecue that had the best ribs evah so I need to work that deliciousness off with a run. LOL

  • SALT

  • Don't try to make yourself feel better about what abortion is by saying oh, the fetus is not really human because it can't survive outside of the womb. Then what the fuck is it, a stork? Seriously. Deal with the fact that if you support that shit you support murdering babies. I'm against abortion, but it's the woman choice and I'm clear on what it is. Who gives a fuck if someone is from the US or Britain? Your people suck just as badly as ours. On another note, Rick Santorum, shut the fuck up!

  • @Vitaluv I don't think it's murder. It's population control, arguably of the least desirable kind. Just a quick look at human history and it's clear we have always had abortion in one form of another and it's been vital throughout history. Abortion is no more murder than my gluttony is murder causing people in the 3rd world to starve.

    The liberal position is totally inconsistence and untenable though, especially when some of these same do gooders are against the right to suicide.

  • Comment removed

  • I also consider the fetus to be alive because: death is defined as when the body begins to decompose and the organs stop, therefore life begins when compostion of the fetus begins aka from the moment of conception onwards....btw I am extremely anti abortion for it is truly the greatest evil of our time and one day our county will look back at this period with shame and disgust (just like how we veiw slavery today)

  • @Gosteelers101 No, I think the shame and disgust will be aimed at those who think knowledge about contraception is 'rude' and the idiots who are happy for there kids to see Chuck Norris kill 100's of troops, but think watching the act of conception and learning how practice it without conceiving is unnatural and damaging.

    The Christian Right is not truly against abortion when they are rarely for contraception and the related education.

  • People have made the argument that the fetus isn't alive because it cannot live/survive outside of the womb aka its environment. But this argument it flawed because nothing can live outside of it's environment , a full grown man cannot live under water or in space, so how can we expect these fetus's to do that?

  • "Late term abortion is basically a birth with a dead/soon to be dead foetus" You should probably read where I said "even up to a certain state with a fetus". I am fully aware that the third trimester is the closest to a baby and can live outside the womb, hence why I said "Even up to a certain state". "How long does this bond take? Or does the bond hinge on the semantics that the surgical suite say 'Abortion' rather than 'Delivery' above the door?" Depends on the person. The fact that we have

  • Definition of: Santorum

    1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

    2. Senator Rick Santorum.

    Funny for a homophobe to have a last name like that, hahaha is like being a homophobe called Gay Lord Fucker.

  • @DogsneedpIeasuretoo actually the definition of santorum was made because of Rick Santorum and his views. Quite clever actually, haha.

  • @DogsneedpIeasuretoo IF this video is about abortion / infanticide, WHY THE HELL are you bringing homosexuality / sodomy / depravity into the picture? I THOUGHT you liberals wanted to look at ALL of the issues behind a candidate, but of course I KNOW that sodomy is and REMAINS, the CENTRAL if not ONLY issue that determines your support or lack thereof.

  • @Soulblackman

    You are totally right. ;)

  • @DogsneedpIeasuretoo I appreciate your acknowledgment, though I am not worthy.

  • @DogsneedpIeasuretoo Sadly, it came from his name, not the other way around.

    But goddamnit, I wish it was.

  • Comment removed

  • if a embryo is a human being, then i eat scrambled chickens every single morning.

  • I'm not going to debate my stance on abortion because I'll be here all day, but I will say that I was glad to find out last week that it was Rick Santorum who sponsored the bill banning partial-birth abortion. Although he graduated from my former high school, I am strongly opposed to many, but obviously not all, of his views. As long as the Partial-Birth Abortion Act isn't threatened by a democratic, pro-choice senate, I won't be voting for him as President.

  • slaves were counted as 3/5 jackass not "black people"

  • Does anyone else appreciate the incredible irony of Rick Santorum referencing "all the bilogists in the world"?

    You see, Rick Santorum has never been one to pay much attention to the science of biology. He is a well known young Earth creationist and one of the most ardent political proponents of the scientific-punchline known as "Intelligent Design".

    Intelligent Design is, of course, one of, if not the, most soundly rejected concept by "all the biologists in the world".

  • @85RetroFan - Earlier you said the life inside the mother might be better than hers. Maybe, but it could also be worse. For all you know the aborted baby might have grown up to be the next Armin Meiwes, John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy.*

    *Of course that doesn't justify abortion in and of itself and I would never suggest that. My pro-choice argument is based almost solely on property rights, I'm just saying the argument that the baby might turn out to be a good person goes both ways.

  • @85RetroFan - Humanity doesn't have choice over what an individual can do with their own body. A human body isn't public property, otherwise you could legally force a person to be a prostitute and give you sexual service if you wanted. There are all sorts of perverse and totalitarian outcomes that would occur if you give the government or the public rights over an individual's body.

  • @85RetroFan - You don't have the right to force someone to keep you inside their body because that would require giving that life or the government ownership of the host's body. If someone leaves their dog in your house it may not be your property but you don't have to keep it in your house and the owner of the dog can't force you to give the dog shelter. Same with a baby. The mother doesn't HAVE to give it shelter.

    It would all require rewriting the American Constitution.

  • @85RetroFan - "but it's not your body"

    Are you referring to the baby? If so you're correct but the baby is IN her body. You can't force someone to keep something in their body if they don't want to. If you give the government that right they also have the right to put whatever else they want in you, like control chips. They also have the right to prevent you from having tumors or damaged organs removed.

    The baby has the right to life....outside of her body.

  • @85RetroFan - I think life is a blessing but I don't think it's SO much of a blessing that the government should have ownership of everyone's bodies just to ensure babies will be born: most of whom will end up either wards of the state, in adoption homes (with a significant number being given to bad parents who only want them for money), or with neglectful or abusive parents. So what would be the gain? Mostly just more overpopulation and the government having totalitarian powers over your body.

  • @85RetroFan - And quite honestly if my mother wasn't going to love or care for me I'd rather be either given up for adoption or aborted instead of brought into the world to be either neglected or abused (or both) by a woman who doesn't care for me.

  • @85RetroFan - "but not your life"

    Yeah, but the life is inside your body. You don't have to shelter a life inside your property, which in this case is your body. The same reason you can't be forced to give a dying person a blood transfusion.

    I don't like the idea of being aborted either but I still know as long as I'm in my mother's body she has the ultimate say. Just like after I was born my parents retained the right to refrain from feeding and sheltering me by giving me up for adoption.

  • He's actually right that biologists don't doubt that a human embryo is human life; but the individual cells that make up the body are human and are alive. It has to do with what definition of "life" you are referencing. The question is when an embryo becomes a person. The thing is no one can agree on an objective classification for this. Therefore, the issue is currently being judged on the basis of belief systems, and this is the root of conflict.

  • Rick should just say he hates Blacks (niggers)and be done with it. Post racial my ass. I'm so sick and tried of these racist devils.

  • Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I know about biology, the statement that a fertilized egg is the beginning of human life seems fairly indisputable. It meets all the requirements of living organism, and its certainly a member of the human species. However this has little bearing on whether a single cell, bundle of cells or even a baby-shaped embryo incapable of thought or survival outside the womb should be considered a person or granted its own rights.

  • @85RetroFan - I always find it funny how conservatives claim to be in favor of individual rights and against "big government" yet on this issue they support big government control on a level even the Soviet government didn't venture into.

  • @85RetroFan - You shouldn't call people dumb given how atrocious the spelling and grammar was in that post. Secondly, why should a person be punished for the rest of their life for a dumb mistake? Thirdly, WHY should the government have that kind of power over a person's body?

    If the government can tell you what you can and can't have in your body by that token they should be allowed to force you to give up organs, allow them to implant control chips in you, etc.

  • I can't believe he said that.
