In short: Meh.

I can't say this in the community, so I'm posting here on my journal... I don't mean to sound as scathing as I fear I might, but I find it morbidly fascinating that this girl's whole explaination for being ProChoice boils down to the fact that she simply doesn't care.

At least if people who claimed to believe in science knew some science... *sigh*

Multiverse theory (about as far as you can get from 'tested until it becomes fact' as you can get and still be somewhere in the neighborhood of science) would not imply that there are no facts - merely that the laws of science are 'local' to a universe. (Grr. Does the fact that the laws of New York are different than the laws of Maryland mean that there are no laws of New York? No, of course not).

I could rant for a while on the issue of taking the question of whether something is a blastocyst to be somehow more respectable than the question of whether it's a person just because the first question is scientific (what? when did the scientific method become the sole arbiter of truth? even if you don't want to go squishy, are there not mathematical truths? can't test those...). But I won't.

And: the next time I hear the "no deity = no right or wrong" claim from either side of the theological aisle, I'm going to prove them right by killing them, I think.

Amazing. She's managed to give liberals, secularists, scientists, pro-choicers, and misanthropes a bad name all in one rant.

In short: Grr. I agree.
