10. Or you can say antibiotics

Perhaps dying of pneumonia is G-d's will, so Repugs should not take antibiotics. Ha. That would work as well.

On a more serious note, I do see a difference in that the anti-choice people believe a fetus is a child and (in their eyes), someone gets killed with an abortion, while Viagra doesn't cause what-they-see-as-death (well, it might kill me, but I was born in 1929).

I strongly agree with anti-choice people, in that I don't believe a fetus is a child.

I think that is where the argument needs to be: educating anti-choice people (or neutral people) that a fetus is not a human. They've done a good job selling this line.
