Is an acorn an oak tree ??? Is a tomato seed a tomato ???

[SamKnause]

Is a zigote a human being ???

My answer to all these questions is no.

I am watching the hearing on Reproductive Rights.

The lies being told by the anti choice crowd is amazing.

1. But an acorn is not a fig tree, and a tomato seed is not

a watermelon, and a zygote is not a kangaroo, therefore it must be a human being.

People are nuts.

2. Huh?!?

A zygote may become a fig, a mushroom or a kangaroo. What are you trying to say?

[Croney]

4. See misplaced reply below.

3. Yes, it "may become."

I'm saying that no matter what anything may become, it's all nonsense when used to justify taking away a woman's right to have control over her own body.

[SamKnause]

5. I don't think that a zigote should have any rights.

[Croney]

6. I agree.

[Midnightwalk]

8. I agree with you and Sam.

Zygotes don’t and shouldn’t have rights. Nor should fetuses.

7. They should give all men the death penalty -

for genocide.

They kill billions of potential-people sperm every year.

9. Here you go

For your next church bake sale.

With enough time, it might become a cake.

10. Thanks, that's a good one.

[MineralMan]

11. Nope. It's a latent oak tree.
