		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Can we continue the discussion as if Blue Collar Todd never happened?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Can we first laugh about his &quot;Master’s Degree in the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics&quot; that allows him to &quot; engage this issue on many levels&quot; that was issued from BIOLA university which has the following policy:

&lt;blockquote&gt;As a final guarantee of strict adherence to its theological and cultural worldview, the University requires every faculty member, when first hired and again upon application for tenure, to submit their understanding of and complete agreement with each item of the doctrinal and teaching statements to the Talbot School of Theology for evaluation. This requirement gives the Talbot faculty de facto control over all academic personnel in every department, as well as the academic culture and intellectual production of the school.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>The sad truth is Focus For the Family already won. The ad has created controversy. Which is exactly the kind of media attention James Dobson wants. Dobson can do the Jesus Christ pose and say the liberal media (insert you own punchline) is picking on him.</description>

		<description>Blue Collar Todd: &lt;i&gt;Once the value of human life is determined by a purely arbitrary decision by someone else, untold evil will follow.&lt;/i&gt;

Agreement all the way! That&#039;s why &lt;a href=&quot;http://jesurgislac.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/the-basics-why-pro-choice-is-the-only-moral-option/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the only moral option is pro-choice&lt;/a&gt;. Any other position is allowing the government and the courts to put a purely arbitrary value on human life.

You&#039;re wrong to think the evil that follows is &quot;untold&quot; - Nicaragua, Columbia, the Congo, Romania, all of them and more stand as witnesses to the evil of accepting the arbitrary value of a human life that the pro-life movement promotes, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of women each year and the maiming of many more.</description>

		<description>Wowza, ok, apologies everyone for being away from the internets for the past day, and for Blue Collar Todd&#039;s comments getting through.  Todd, the internet is a big place and there are plenty of other websites on which you are free to compare women to Nazis.  This blog is not one of them.  Goodbye! 

Everyone else, really, I am sorry for not being around and seeing this sooner.  Can we continue the discussion as if Blue Collar Todd never happened?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I think being pro-choice is really being a pro-abortion absolutist and unable to debate the issue.&lt;/i&gt;

Because you&#039;ve been to pro-choice blogs, of course, and read their rhetoric. That&#039;s how you know that abortion is not really a choice but rather compelled, and also that it&#039;s a plot to exterminate black people, and that birth control is the same as abortion...

...Wait, LifeSiteNews isn&#039;t pro-choice? I take it all back.

Other sundry facts:

--Abortion was &lt;b&gt;banned&lt;/b&gt; under the Nazi regime.
--Censorship: does not means what you think it means. To use an analogy that hopefully will not be beyond your comprehension, to be ejected from someone else&#039;s home does not mean that your right to a home is being restricted. (Which is funny, since according to your rhetoric both in this instance and in opposition to women&#039;s rights, it&#039;s a restriction of my rights if I can&#039;t set up camp in your home and eat through your pantry.)
--Entities other than embryos have what you so poetically describe as &quot;new DNA&quot; and are not people.
--Slaves, historically, did not reside inside their owners&#039; bodies.
--Jews, historically, did not reside inside anti-Semites&#039; bodies.
--Concepti don&#039;t display brain activity until long, long after the point where most abortions are performed.

All of these facts are readily available thanks to that amazing tool, the Google.

And other sundry opinions:

--A master&#039;s degree won&#039;t help you if you&#039;re not willing to use logic.
--If you can&#039;t imagine that people have value without the existence of some unknowable being - if you can&#039;t conceive of valuing someone for their personality or for what they contribute to the world - it&#039;s not us who are arbitrary or misanthropic.</description>

		<description>Instead of attacking the comparison, how about arguing why you think it fails?  The arguments for killing children are fairly old as well so when an argument originated has nothing to do with it&#039;s soundness. I think being pro-choice is really being a pro-abortion absolutist and unable to debate the issue.</description>
