The people that think abortion laws like this are reasonable are the types that buy the bumper stickers that say, “God doesn’t make no junk.” Yes, to them, even suffering, short lives are glorious. They think this is part of God’s plan that all life is precious, and all life is some kind of glowing homage to God’s work.

Well, obviously some life is more precious than others. Some is engineered better. Some is doomed to suffer and die. No amount of prayer and rose colored glasses changes the inevitable outcome. Yet, these are the very same lives fundies celebrate, make excuses for, and explain away as part of some mysterious “plan.”

And this is precisely why fundies shouldn’t be in charge of any policy that deals in science. They don’t live in the real world, where “junk” gets made all the time.
