A Test of Humanity

One of the many frustrating aspects of the idiocy we ludicrously call the "abortion debate" is the way the anti-choice misogynists distort the issue with extremist positions: life begins with every hard-on, better the woman dies than a lethally disabled fetus misses a chance to take two breaths before dying, etc.

But now PZ Myers at Pharyngula brings us the flip side.

This is a tragedy, amplifed by the idiocy in the subhead:

Brazil girl, alleged rape victim, aborts twins

The procedure on the 9-year-old girl draws complaints from Catholic church

You don't really need to say more than that.

Next time somebody starts piously babbling about the "culture of life," ask him about the "life" to which he would condemn that little girl.

Then ask if he thinks if sex with a nine-year-old is ever anything but rape.
