Why does the Clinton campaign have a bunch of divorcees on it? This is proof that Clinton doesn't value strong families or family values.

I agree, only because the Trump campaign seems to only bring up Clinton scandals/problems that Trump is actually worse on.

Lets play the ol' embryo is a person game. Even when people are dying of natural causes, we don't merely accept their death as a fait accompli but we do everything we can to spare their lives. Hence modern medicine. So if embryos are people and millions are dying from first trimester failures, pro-lifers should be investing millions in ways to prevent this. They should be running a Manhattan program to alter the basic functioning of the female reproductive system. But they aren't because they really just want to control female sexuality. To state the obvious.

This is a fun game where people state that since people they disagree with aren't giving 100%, they are being disingenuous. But you can do this with anything. Think homelessness it bad? Why aren't you housing some in your home? Think poverty is bad? Why aren't you giving every cent to charity? It's a really weak argument put forth by people who don't want to actually have a discussing, but just circle jerk about how right they are in their opinions.

"Fair and Balanced", so both sides are always equally bad. Sure, one has open white supremacists, scammed thousands out of their life savings, and is still getting support from Russian plants; but did you hear about those dastardly emails?

No, it's not that pro-lifers aren't giving 100%, it's that they are focusing entirely on the embryopeople who die from abortion and not those that die as failed early pregnancies, even though the latter is far more common. If you actually believe that life begins at conception you don't get to pick and choose which lives matter. Pro-lifers should be holding funerals with tampons inside little coffins.

... and that's me for this particularly pointless prolife debate.

It's not the amount of effort, its the inconsistency with which it's applied. Pro-lifers put a lot of effort into preventing one specific type of abortion, which pales in numerical comparison to spontaneous abortions. It's pretty clear they care more about the lesser of the two.
