Having experienced all the fun of being married to a violent drunk, I am Much happier if they drink coffee, or club soda, whrerever we may be. However, If they remain in control of themselves, I have NO problem, because it is Their choice...i am not their mother!

Stereotypes are facts of life.

Can anyone show me scientific proof that a fetus is not human?

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 8, 2018:

The Babble says so...kill a fetus, pay a fine. Look it up! Take a look at one, around 6 weeks it is almost indistinguishable from a rat, panda, or any other mammalian fetus. Certainly not human-looking, unable to live outside the host (the definition of parasite, actually). Keeps looking alien-ish for most of the pregnancy. Until actually born, totally dependent on it's host.
