Rubio compares the killing of Cecil the lion to abortion

[Landslide Lyndon]

He is getting pretty desperate, isn't he?

Look at all this outrage over a dead lion, but where is all the outrage over the planned parenthood dead babies.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Being pro-life, I think he has a point. 

These kinds of rants don't change minds, however.  They harden people into their previous positions.  It would help the pro-life cause if its advocates cared about the whole of life and showed it by what they advocate in their public lives.  There is something to Barney Frank's zinger about pro-lifers believing that life begins at conception and ends at birth.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Do you really think the life of a lion in Zimbabwe is more relevant than the dignity of the lives of aborted children? Really? Really?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Obviously the Republican war on women is more important than 1 lion.

I certainly don't think so.

Yes. Next question.

Ditto.  Society's morality is so twisted that it's hard to make heads or tails of it, with each person doing what is right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25).

Luckily, Isaiah 53:6:  We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I wouldn't if we were actually talking about aborted children, but we're not.

And again Maxwell slays 😂

Charming.

Making me sentimental for the Stations of the Cross.

I'm glad Rubio brought this into the limelight, billions of humans are eaten by lions everyday it's time we put a stop to this.

^^^^

Damn, I wanted to be the one to post that.

[Clark Kent]

It's nothing like abortion.

Abortion is worse because humans are dying.

So deep

I love the addition of the "in Zimbabwe" part.

0 humans die during a safe and legal abortion. It's the unsafe ones that occur in places where they are illegal where you have to watch out for the health of the woman having the procedure.

You and I have serious differences as to what a human life is.  I believe that human life begins at comception.  If you don't, then please state the point at which you believe a life becomes a human life.

Birth, but I could be convinced sometime after the start of the 3rd trimester.

Lions are better than humans, though. By about however many supposed children are aborted times. +12.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Abortion is worse because humans are dying.

Humans are not dying in 99.9% of abortions (the 0.1% that do, in the third trimester, are to save the life of the mother), but even if they were, why is a lion's life worth more than a human's? What makes human life innately sacred?

Does your definition of the non-scientific buzzword of conception mean fertilization or implantation?

[Torie]

Rubio is not as thoughtful as I wish he would be. This one was an unforced error.

How is this an unenforced error exactly?  You do realize Rubio is running in the REPUBLICAN primary, not the primary of your new party.  Most Republican primary voters are repulsed by the Planned Parenthood videos.

Because it seems foolish, and I don't think Pub primary voters are in general foolish. Do you?
