She doesn\u2019t really make any salient points I didn\u2019t address in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-lobby-reacts-predictably-over-ok-bill-father-consent-abortion\/\">February article<\/a> on the bill\u2014which passed one committee vote in February and has seen no action since, by the way\u2014though it is telling that she puts \u201cfather of the fetus\u201d in quotation marks, even though that phrasing is obviously 100% accurate. (Boy, abortion fans\u00a0really can\u2019t stand the slightest hint at what they\u2019re actually\u00a0destroying, can they?)<\/p>\n<p>Cauterucci then attempts to make the case that <em>of course<\/em> abortion can\u2019t be murder, and comes through with a logical coherence that makes one wonder just how many tinfoil hats she owns\u2014while sneering, naturally, that \u201cany person with an elementary grasp of logic\u201d has no choice but to agree with her that \u201ca 4-week-old fetus is extremely different from a 1-year-old child\u201d:<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The former cannot think, feel, or survive in the world.

Do you suppose any of the horrifying implications of this suggestion &#8212; that children need someone else\u2019s love to have moral worth &#8212; occurred to her as she typed the words?

But it\u2019s not a good-faith argument\u2014it\u2019s a cynical and manipulative one. Fetuses are not the same as babies, and the consequences of abortion\u2014on the fetus, the pregnant woman, and the community\u2014are not the same as the consequences of murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ever notice how the most arrogant tend to have the least to be arrogant about? Cauterucci just showed us she lacks the most rudimentary understanding of embryology, yet here she projects so much certainty that she proclaims an argument she can\u2019t even refute is an insincere front.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These groups often claim to want to imprison doctors who perform abortions, not abortion-seeking women, who they characterize as victims.\u00a0But\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/oklahoma\/2014\/title-21\/section-21-862\/\">an Oklahoma state law<\/a>\u00a0that\u2019s currently moot under\u00a0Roe\u00a0already states that women should serve up to a year in jail or pay up to a $1,000 fine if they even\u00a0try\u00a0to get abortion care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that she has to go all the way back to the time before <em>Roe v.
