My cat is a person; a fertilized egg isn't.

er... huh?

[mrs. a]

Don’t be surprised. I worked with some women who thought it was morally indefensible to eat a hamburger, but they would have an abortion any day.

[mumblypeg]

Oh yeah.
There is a whole subculture of “cat people” who choose to “have cats” instead of children. They dress up their cats in little outfits, push them around in baby strollers, obsessively photograph every “facial expression” to post on their internet blogs and FB. They throw birthday parties, and even rent convention halls for “CatCon” meetups, where the “humoms” dress themselves up in cat costumes to look like their “children.”
“Catmoms” and “ catdaddies” bring their kitties together at one another’s houses for play dates.
They’ll spend thousands of dollars on veterinary bills to keep their aging, sick cats alive, or alternately, for cat funerals, burials or cremations—all chronicled in detail on the internet, to share the grief and be comforted—while insisting with a straight face that children are too expensive and inconvenient, and thank goodness for abortion!
Just to be clear—I do love cats, have almost always had one or two.
But when my first child was born, and JealousCat pooped once in baby’s crib, JCat was promptly dispatched to a new owner.

I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died.

But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,

and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing

of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans.  Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.

Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.

 

 

I hear that by now, somewhere around 58 MILLION of them have perished.

Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and

retirement?

 

 

 

 

 

Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens.  Perhaps they'll come to their senses

before they are ALL dead!
