Of course a fetus is a citizen. It pays as much taxes as Mitt Romney.

I have been registered republican for better than 30 years [mainly because I had to register as something, so I flipped a coin:dubious:] and I have stopped protesting that there are many sensible republicans out there. It isn’t so much that there are few sensible republicans, it is that there are a few seriously loud and obnoxious ones grabbing all the news.

I swear, the more I see in political news, the more I feel like running for various offices on the grounds that I couldn’t do any worse.:smack:☹

Well the fetus is going to die anyway so it might as well go down with the ship. Or rather the ship should go down with it.

He’s pandering for the fetus vote.
