I always like to make this point when discussing abortion.
Who gets in more trouble? Someone that kills a human embryo or someone who runs across a sea turtle egg and destroys it?
Why would a sea turtle egg get such extreme protection? It is not a sea turtle yet. ANSWER: Because it will potentially be a sea turtle.
Shouldn't a "potential" child be given the same rights as a "potential" sea turtle?
A man identified by the FBI as a member of the anti-government Freemen group was arrested yesterday after deputies found what they called a bomb-triggering device in his car.
Scott Roeder, 38, of Silver Lake, Kan., was arrested in Topeka and held on charges of criminal use of explosives, driving with a suspended license and failure to carry registration and insurance.
Roeder was stopped because his car didn't have a legitimate license plate. Instead, it had a tag indicating the driver was a "sovereign" citizen and immune from Kansas law.
The same type of tag is sometimes used by Freemen, whose members in Montana are in the fourth week of a standoff with federal agents.
Roeder's name is included on an FBI list of Freemen, said Shawnee County Sheriff Dave Meneley.
In Roeder's trunk, authorities found fuse cord, a pound of gunpowder and two nine-volt batteries, one wired to a switch - the alleged triggering device. Ammunition and a blasting cap also were found in the car.
July 7, Kansas: Scott Roeder is sentenced to sixteen months in state prison for parole violations following a 1996 conviction for having bomb components in his car trunk. Roeder, a sovereign citizen and tax protester, violated his parole by not filing tax returns or providing his social security number to his employer.

EPIC FAIL.
Doesn't say much for home schooling or christian schools either. Since when do men have eggs?
Teaching Language Arts » Figuratively Speaking ...
Figurative, or non-literal language, can be confusing to some learners, but the use of metaphorical expressions can greatly enhance student writing. Also, being able to understand metaphoric language will expand understanding of the written word.
Teaching metaphoric language can be fun as well. Following are some activities to support the learning of simile, metaphor, personification, synechdoche, and metonymy, the types of figurative language readers will find in great works of literature.
NOTES: For junior high school aged students, focus on the first three types. Senior high school students can handle all five. With both groups, make sure the students understand that while a simile is a type of metaphor the two expressions are NOT the same thing.

Simply a brilliant point.

'Even the score' you say. How terrible to tally it up, as if it were something trivial like a game of chess. How frightening that your other implication is that it is a war.
or to be born to someone who does not want you... to be unloved?
What should terrify you and frighten you and horrify the screaming bejeezus out of you is the fact that we sophisticated Humans with our lofty ideals have been committing genocide against the unborn for over three decades in America, rather than "inconvenience" women who can't and won't keep their legs closed. The abortion total since Roe v. Wade has gone way beyond 40 million dead, gutted, dismembered fetuses.
When you take away free choice/will, which is something that God specifically gave humanity, you are basically saying that God's plan is flawed and is subject for change.
