IOW, the stinking turd at the confluence of reality and consequences.
What you don't realize is that these aren't brutal realities. They're facts, but they aren't shocking or brutal.
Do you want to start tallying up how many individual sperm are wasted annually, left to rot in condoms, dirty socks, swallowed, spit out, stuck in buttholes... hell, while we're at it, add in the ones that don't manage to get to an egg! That's gonna be a big number too... and we can call them all tragedies...
I suppose on the other hand we can tally up every egg that's dropped without being fertilized... since we've got so many sperm out there, we really should consider every unfertilized egg as a potential life, stopped cold and sopped up in a cotton wad.
Or we can start talking about the FERTILIZED EGGS which are created, but never implanted when couples (good christian couples who hate abortion) decide to go and get in vitro fertilization. Do you think the doctors only fertilize one egg for implantation? No, they fertilize a bunch, implant a few of those (the rest either stay in liquid nitrogen indefinitely (what kind of hell is that for a living creature?) or are tossed. Then, the multiple which are implanted, some are killed off in the womb if too many remain viable (ie, if 4 start growing, they'd abort 3).
These are facts. These are realities. BUT THEY ARE NOT BRUTAL.
Wheel (and others) like to spout big numbers (55 million1!!!) and then associate them with pictures which are not in any way relevant to those numbers... I assume he's just been confused by propaganda out there, but it's possible he knows what he's doing.
