it boggles my mind as well that the least of these, those most helpless, and without a voice, or any way of defending themselves can be deemed "parasites"

I believe that term should be used for most gov't officials.

The point of my post is that, if most of the population was asked on the street what a regulatory czar does, how many would know, or even be aware there is such a person who is sappin their tax dollars, unbeknownst to most of the American citizens, and this "regulatory czar", is a top regulatory person with decision-making power, would have such thoughts as i posted in my first post (see above).
But who should care what his views on abortion are when they have nothing whatsoever to do with his actual job!

His thoughts that he chose to share are disturbing.
To some, but not to others. If his job had anything to do with abortion you might have some cause to raise a ruckus, but as it is....sheesh.

personaly, I believe the term should be reserved for mosquitos, ticks, and leeches. You know, actual parasites. But then its hard when both sides of the debate wish to use emotional rhetoric rather then logical arguments. But whatever works I guess.

How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay with courage to behold restless day, and count it fair.

after much agonizing thought, i've come to the conclusion that most parasit-ic amongst the classes of parasites, accurately defines most gov't officials.

So unless it has something to with their jobs, we should never look at what someone says outside of their jobs as indicators of their personality??

Just because this guy doesn't have anything to do with abortion doesn't mean we don't have cause to be concerned about what he says.

If you had read the quote, the foetus is NOT the user he is referring to. Rather to those who would use the foetus' existence to limit women's right of control over their own bodies.
