This is so very succinct and thorough. I have often been just baffled by the sacralization of fetuses by forced-birthers. I will never understand it, nor the sacralization of the notion of "innocence."

I wish that such people would understand that before "innocence" can be understood, it must be separated from ignorance. "Innocence" is a concept and therefore indestructible; ignorance is a mental state that can be changed. They are not the same. And until that is understood, sacralization is a worshipping false deities—according to their own respective dogmas.

"Beware that which is held sacred, for it will surely damn thee."

So spot on. Just the attitude I encountered in debating with a forced birther (a guy!) over the past two days. The misogynistic attitude was incredible!
