Anti Choice and the Woo Factor
"the anti-choice movement resembles any other group of woo believers. They organize around some really wild claims that filter out to the rest of society in a milder form that makes them seem more sane. For instance, UFO believers and homeopathy followers internally believe, respectively, that people live entire alternate lives on board alien ships and that almost any disease can be cured by drinking lots of water with microscopic traces of herbs in it.

Re: article mentions homeopathy as Woo
Hi Lynn!
Casting ProLife as "antichoice" is setting things in a negative light. Anyone knows that if you take a seed, and germinate it, it is proof that it is alive. Even crops that are planted have the Legal right to be harvested. Yes, it's true it takes time to grow and mature, but the law says the farmer has the right to that harvest. People too start off teensy, and grow to be delivered after a gestational timeframe of 9 months.
Life as depicted in Life Magazine when they showed babies in the womb as being alive, and moving, thumb sucking, kicking, and even grasping a finger..... has been affirmed as life as long as time immortal. IF one was to take a human astronaut and unplug his life support (umbilical cord) on a moon walk, his life would be forfeit. Does that mean he is not alive? No, it means that he needs oxygen to breathe which is being supplied by his support system.
I don't think that Minutus is the platform for arguments on ProLife vs ProAbortion. Why did you bring this up here? Imagine Peace is your signature..... Abortion is as far from Peace as I can envision it.
Health, Hope, Joy & Healing :
May you Prosper, even as your Soul Prospers 3John 2

Re: article mentions homeopathy as Woo
I only shared the article because homeopathy was referred to as Woo science, and thought some on the list might want to address the author for suggesting homeopathy was "Woo Science".
I was not suggesting anything else, or addressing anything in the article, other than the comment made about homeopathy
