a eunich is a castrated male. yes, they are sterile, and no, they can't self replicate.

in some countries eunichs used to be employed as king's advisors or to guard the king's harems because it was believed they wouldn't become involved in politics - of course, that proved extremely wrong.

sometimes they're used as sopranos!

So......what do ya'll think about the newly proposed legislation that would grant the birth mother 500.00 from the government; if you will give your child up and NOT have an abortion.

I see child-farming becoming the new "in".

Yes there are those in the general public who still believe this, but most strong proponents of pro-choice will say that a fetus is human. It's quite hard to argue otherwise. So if your friends are pro-choice they should know that most scholars and experts who support their view point do not support their idea that a fetus is not human.

Most who do not believe the fetus is human will note that the brain activity of a fetus before 7-months is different than that of a human who has been born. However, this argument brakes down when applied to the rights of all humanity. Biological differences between unborn and born are transcendent and will eventually fade while biological differences between a man and a women for example, will not. We say that the differences between men and women are of no consequence so how can we say that the difference between a fetus and a live child is of consequence. Again this is in contrast to everything which feminists have fought for. Humanity defines one's rights not biology.
