    I wonder how they reconcile that with eggs that get fertilized naturally through sex yet don’t implant on the uterine wall? Wouldn’t that also be murder according to their definition?

      Honestly I think they’re just to pretend like that doesn’t exist. I would be interested to hear their stance on it though.

      There isn’t a lot of self consistency with the conservative logic around abortion. Abortion is murder to them, but they drive by abortion clinics every day and do nothing. You’d think a building dedicated to murdering children would demand a stronger response.

      Abortion is murder, but it’s okay to murder the child if it wasn’t conceived under the right conditions.

      Abortion is murder, but we can leave it up to the states to decide when it’s murder and when it’s okay.

      Just a lot of mental gymnastics.
