This is an issue on which we can completely ignore any assertion that life begins at fertilization (which I personally find absurd), because it's irrelevant: fertilization doesn't take place. No zygote, no fetus, no embryo, no babies. The claim that this argument is about the life of a baby is null and void, and the opposition to Plan B makes it glaringly, brilliantly clear that this isn't about the sanctity of life at all: it's all about controlling a woman's ovaries. She will not be allowed to tamper with the timing of ovulation.

Poor baby, someone else is called a weasel, too. *smooches*

Well, at least I can console myself with the fact that mine starts with "fuck like"...

Did I just say that out loud?

Um, it was actually "Go at it like"..., but you've apparently translated it in your head, and _then_ said it out loud. :-P

My brain has a defective vulgar filter.

But that's ok, because we both dropped "crazed". ;)
