This is so completely stupid. I’d comment on it but I have to go pick up the kids from school. Cassy Fiano tears it apart better than I could anyway.
Pro-abortion radicals will try to use any tool in their arsenal to dehumanize the unborn. They have to, if they want to be able to convince women to keep abortion common. After all, the pro-abortion line has never truly been about choice. There’s only one acceptable choice, and that choice is abortion. But if women continue to think that what they’re growing inside them when they’re pregnant is an actual human being, then pro-abortion fanatics have a problem. Choice USA decided that there was a simple way to fix this problem: show how ridiculous the idea that an unborn baby is an actual person is by pointing out that, erm, unborn babies can’t play tennis … and, um, therefore can’t be a real person. Makes sense, huh?

Darn it! I can't play tennis either! I hate being a glob of tissue!

So…a baby isn't a person because he can't pay a restaurant bill, play tennis, or watch a movie. Well, neither can a two year old but no one is going to deny that he isn't a person. Ack, I think got stupider just from watching this.

Well… this was a minute of my life I will never get back.
If not for the sheer idiocy of this video, this would probably be one of the meanest I'ev seen. Not only does it imply that an unborn child is not human, it implies that those of us who take the "radical" position that a child in utero is still a child are stupid. Insults and name-calling don't work- why do people still fail to realize that?

You are right, I cannot believe we are losing to these incompetent idiots. I haven't felt this way since sunday when my Eagles lost to the redskins.
This is like getting whupped in tennis by a zygote.

That, and what they are trying (and failing) to do, is turn the "it's a person" argument pro-lifers use on its ear. If it really is a person, why can't it play tennis or pay bills? Ah, since it doesn't have the faculties to do what we say defines a person, it isn't a person. Or you have to treat it like a person (including splitting the tab for dinner) or you're a hypocrite.
Sorry, but trying to think like a pro-abort makes my head hurt.

I see this as a mark of the total and undeniable vacuity of the anti-life position. Indeed, it reveals they simply have no position whatever. The parody was intended to denigrate pro-lifers, but it actually shows off the shallow mind of the anti-lifer. We now know they are also anti-logic. Anti-science. Anti-common sense. Who would listen to these people any more? They have made themselves moot.

since when do you charge babies for movies/tennis etc?
I think it's distracting from the reality of the unborn being persons with references to the cost having a child.

Ignorant, deceptive and mean-spirited.
I actually brought my infant with me to a movie once, and guess what? They didn't make me buy a ticket for her. There are many places that don't charge for kids under 2 or 5 or some other age, simply because they can't take full advantage of the service being offered. Not because anyone is questioning their personhood. Well, no one intelligent does. Dumb.

This is really stupid but yesterday I saw a young man holding a sign that said: Every ejaculation does not need a name.
Now that was really stupid.

And the cinematography was awful to boot

Worst line in the video……"The baby greens were delicious".

that was a total waste of time, I think I just lost a few neurons in the process. Funny though.

Can I get that 1:05 of my life back now????
Hey guys… this should've been part of your top ten signs of the impending apocolypse thingys a few months ago… 🙁

Does anyone else think this actually disproves their argument? I think it backfires. AnneG

Women have the right to choose what to do with their own bodies and this includes giving birth. Didn't you hear? We live in a country where people don't want the powers to be telling us what to do with our own lives.
When you pro-life Nazis take control of the government and we all lose the freedoms that most of us take for granted, then you can tell women all over America that they must go through with their pregnancies. (Or face being stoned to death?).
For all of our sake I hope Jesus shows up soon to take all his little followers to whatever 5th dimension he has promised you all. The rest of us can stay behind, have unprotected sex, and get abortions.

The one cell human being endowed by his Creator with civil rights and sovereign personhood constitutes his sovereign nation by his very existence. Existence cannot be explained by atheism because the atheist rejects the Supreme Sovereign Being and the life of the soul. Abortion and euthanasia are based on the false ideology that death will end suffering, when in fact the suffering of the soul in eternity because his mother did not want him and killed him will be very great, greater than physical suffering. Atheism has not disproved the existence of a Supreme Sovereign Being and the atheist needs to do that because our
Declaration of Independence and our founding principles argue for God.

Reply to Anonymous: A single cell with personhood is another human being and We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their CREATOR. The gift of life is a person who is in possession of his own body. The body of the newly conceived is not the property of the woman carrying him, unless it is possible for the woman to be two persons at one and the same time.God is present when each new human being comes into existence.
