5. Hypocritical anti-choice zealots don't scan toilets for spontaneous abortions

You don't have to look to sperm and ova (which are half lives) to find mountainous religious christian zealot hypocrisy.

If they truly believed that life begins at conception -- and they will get in your face to tell you they do with sorrowful eyes and forceful conviction -- if they were true to their stated beliefs they would be scanning public women's toilets for 4 and 8 and 16 cell (and on up) embryos that have spontaneously aborted, which happens often.

They would install "baby catcher" filters and spend hours examining the results.

When they find a microscopic embryo, they would give it a full funeral and burial, as if it were one of their own children. Or try to save it and implant it in a willing zealot christian host mother.

But they don't, do they?

They don't even do that in their own home. Not even if they have a teenage daughter. Not even if the husband and wife are actively trying to procreate.

In their heart of hearts and a dim corner of their brain, the rational corner, they know that "life" is a progression of viability until the moment of birth when it becomes incontrovertible.

But they say otherwise, of course.

The Authoritarian Follower mindset depends on binary thinking, moral absolutes, simplistic certainties that ultimately are unrealistic.
