I think they know, QuirkyClark, but they are deceitful and will argue black is white because they want to believe it. They lie and manipulate. Its how they operate. They have no scruples. They know full well what they are saying and doing. They just want to con people, to prey on people's emotions, in order to control a woman's body. How they do that is by calling an embryo a baby, a foetus a baby, by calling abortion Infanticide (laughing at the absurdity and sheer desperation of that one), by talking about 'body parts' despite in most cases there is not even anything resembling a body. And by showing pictures of advanced pregnancies as an example of the average termination.
They have no compunction about lying and misrepresenting, nor about offending and minimising miscarriages or even the murder actual babies that exist. To them, the ends justify the means.
What I don't get though, is why they never learn? Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. The public of Catholic Ireland, for goodness sake, saw through the lies and deceit, and the emotive languages and images. Their tricks aren't working any more. You'd think they'd work that out and change tactics. Not repeat the same ones that we are all desensitised to and immune to, now. Especially in this day and age of the internet and information being available. In some ways I hope they don't change their M.O though, as it ensures they lose basically every time.
