... while the typical slaughterhouse "stuns" the animal with what's basically a bolt gun. Pretty much just like a regular gun, except there's a stop to prevent the projectile from traveling too far. It usually knocks a hole in their heads, driving fragments of bone into their brain, but doesn't kill them. Just scrambles their brains good. Then they string them up by their legs and cut their throats with a mechanical knife, which I doubt is as sharp as the kosher-mandated knife. The only difference is factory-farm slaughterhouses shoot the cow before cutting its throat, and that shot doesn't generally kill them. It's not like they use anesthetics to send the cow peacefully off to dreamland before killing them. They fucking shoot it in the head with a bolt gun.

Glad to know our political system really is a joke now:

Yes the paradoxon of protecting the unborn life more so than the born one is what really puzzles me too. In their delusional world abortion is not the will of god, but cutting social benefits and starting costly wars is.

Not only that, but they're trying to push legislation to ban birth control and grant unfertilized eggs "person" status, in order to kill stem cell research. I wonder, does that mean we can all start claiming millions of dependents on our taxes? It's shit like this that really makes me wonder if killing these people would even be considered murder or simply a cleansing of the gene pool? Don't forget executing criminals and denying healthcare to the poor!
