Let's see: Tom DeLay says, "An embryo is a person," but his pals in Saipan, capital of the Marianas Islands, forced sweatshop workers to have abortions, according to a 2000 ABC News investigation. A spokeswoman for the Catholic Church tells The Washington Post that the church hasn't taken a stand on the morality of adopting embryos, even though the Catholic Church considers in vitro fertilization "morally illicit" (although apparently a designation of "morally illicit" doesn't mean that Catholic voters need to deny support to politicians who are complicit with the illicit). And conservative non-Catholic Christians who compare in vitro fertilization to slavery and don't even think unused embryos should be frozen -- just not discarding them isn't Culture Of Life enough -- are eagerly adopting embryos, the vast majority of which die in thawing or after implantation.

I'm so confused....
