Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 26, 2013

It is now safer to be a monkey in Spain - at least if you're one of the larger species -- than a man. Thanks to a new law passed by the Spanish parliament and signed into law by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, the Great Apes are protected from the moment of conception against abortion and fetal experimentation. Human embryos, on the other hand, remain unprotected and the subject of scientific research.

This is why a group of gorillas gathered around the headquarters of the ruling political party, the Partido Popular, last week. They were there to celebrate their historic legal and political victory, and to ask why human babies were still being denied the same protections.

One of the gorillas (who had apparently mastered human speech), decried the hypocrisy of granting them the right to life while denying the same protection to Homo Sapiens. "The government is deaf to the voice of millions of Spanish who already asked to repeal the abortion law," he proclaimed, thumping his chest. "But perhaps Rajoy is more responsive to the call of the wild." - See more at: http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/planet-of-the-apes-human-beings-play-second-fiddle-to-apes-in-spain#sthash.jN8yOzeL.dpuf

There's a shortage of Great Apes and an overabundance of hairless apes. Easy.

The apes are deploring the "devolution" from their respect for human life to a society devoid of a respect for life.

First the Flintstones was reality TV, you can fit all the animals in the world in a boat and now apes talk. The world of the religious is surely full of wonders, isn't it?

Based on your past comments, I'm assuming you consider brown people to not really be alive.

When the left runs out of rational arguments, their opponents are 'racist.'

No it is not, Morris. How can a great ape be a great ape in the womb if a human is not a human in the womb?
You probably want to throw Roe v. Wade out, fascist!

An ape is an ape in the womb. A human is not human in the womb....Hmmmmm. Is the left logical?

george carlin on the "sanctity of life"

some pretty prescient commentary from ole' george there.

I wonder what he would've had to say if he'd been around to see the Vatican systematically (more-or-less) touching-up children, with a once-in-700-years-resignation.

Is an ape an ape, regardless of the fancy hat it wears, diablo?

you catolicos ape the posture of morality, etc., yet you systematically fail to practice it.

what a mind-mutilatingly-idiotic fool one must be to hang on the every word of the formerly-decrepit, holeyest, most child-molestingly-exceptional old-geezer that's ever made a bad name for "liver-spots"!

it's now safer to be a monkey in spain, than a former pope in vatican city!

Hopefully they get to the bottom of this catolico abuse of the peoples' trust and crucify a few of the leading offenders.

Being Obtuse Diablo?

Maybe they didn't teach you this at your creationism homeschooling, but fetuses develop into beings.

It's not an ape in the womb, but if allowed to develop it can become one.

But, please, continue with what you were saying. I was getting a good laugh out of it.

#11 That is scientifically incorrect. Ontologically, once the spermatozoa and the oocyte successfully combine a new being is formed. That being is then identified by the DNA signature it carries.

In an ape the DNA signature, from conception, is that of an ape.

In a human the DNA signature, from conception, is that of a human.

Conception is the beginning of a new being. Conception is the beginning of the natural developmental process of an individual being belonging to the group the DNA indicates it to belong.

I am not sure where you get your information that a fetus develops into a being. The fetal stage of development is one of many stages of development that a human being goes through in its life cycle.

Wow. Mind altering information you got there about DNA. You do realize the DNA was provided by the parents. Therefore the fetus is comprised of that same DNA. It's not like "APE" DNA spontaneously manifested itself.

By the way the fetus is a developmental stage in life the way seeds are a developmental stage in life. They have the potential to development into something. But they aren't that thing yet.
