Funny thing, that.

No, actually:

Sorry, Ken. This isn't news to anybody. Now... we were busy discussing
whether an embryo has a "right to life" beyond it's mother's "right to
her own body."

There are also 'scientists' that believe black people are inferior. How
do you stand? The creationists learned a long time ago that if you
attatch the word 'science' to any irrational concept, stupid people will
not question it.
