Talk Radio's Obligatory Topic Du Jour

Talk show hosts, far and wide, couldn't resist this topic today: Lobsters Do Not Feel Pain. Every now and then an irresistible subject comes along on which every talk show host feels the need to comment. Today it was the "unfeeling lobster."

While the folks at PETA loath these type of reports, I'm always curious why people never question whether or not unborn babies, "fetuses, zygotes, or unviable tissue masses" may feel pain while undergoing an abortion. Ever heard that argument against abortion? If you have, you don't hear it that often.

Isn't it odd that the leftist groups who go to the ends of the earth to protest the death of any and every baby seal, whale, polar bear, bald eagle or Kentucky pre-fried chicken are absolutely silent on the matter of unborn babies.
