More Pro-Life bullshit from conservatives

Those pesky anti-abortionists never cease in their quest to annoy the hell out of me. It's as if they were in on a secret coalition against me or something. I digress.

Dan Ruby, a Republican from North Dakota, is sponsoring a bill that declares (get this) that any organism that contains the genome for Homo Sapiens (humans) is a person and has the same legal rights under North Dakota law as any other person, such as life, liberty, etc.

BISMARCK, N.D. — A measure approved by the North Dakota House gives a fertilized human egg the legal rights of a human being, a step that would essentially ban abortion in the state.

The bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that extended abortion rights nationwide, supporters of the legislation said.

Representatives voted 51-41 to approve the measure Tuesday. It now moves to the North Dakota Senate for its review.

The bill declares that "any organism with the genome of homo sapiens" is a person protected by rights granted by the North Dakota Constitution and state laws.

The measure's sponsor, Rep. Dan Ruby, R-Minot, said the legislation did not automatically ban abortion. Ruby has introduced bills in previous sessions of the Legislature to prohibit abortion in North Dakota.

"This language is not as aggressive as the direct ban legislation that I've proposed in the past," Ruby said during House floor debate on Tuesday. "This is very simply defining when life begins, and giving that life some protections under our Constitution _ the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

This is utterly stupid. I suppose these morons haven't yet learned to open a dictionary now and then. Hell, with Wikipedia or Dictionary.com, you don't even need to buy one; just a few clicks will tell you that a 'person' is any human that's CONSCIOUS and can FEEL and THINK. Tell me how 'any organism that's human' can be conscious, if it's only a few weeks past its genesis? A human embryo is not a 'person', never was and never will be.

But then, what else have we ever learned to expect from Republicans other than retarded mentalities and a general ignorance of basic scientific and biological facts? Makes me wonder how these clowns even get into office if all they do is throw poo around and try and piss as many people off as they can.

Abortion should be a basic human right, along with food, health and shelter. It's the woman's damned choice, and no amount of shitty legislation can EVER change that. Except for Republicans.

Update:

I've done a little digging up via Google on this Dan Ruby genius, and turns out other than being a Republican, which generally ensures we'll be enemies, he's also affiliated with the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, as said on his profile. Nope, no reason to disagree with his moral base at all. Also says he has 10 kids ... does anything else scream 'RELIGIOUS' as ties to a chuch and a pile of kids?
