Pro-lifers are starting to sound disgustingly similar to Fred Phelps and his ilk. Here they are responding to Hurricane Katrina: I do not make this shit up!

The image of the hurricane above with its eye already ashore at 12:32 PM Monday, August 29 looks like a fetus (unborn human baby) facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation (approx. 6 weeks). Even the orange color of the image is reminiscent of a commonly used pro-life picture of early prenatal development (see sign with picture of 8-week pre-born human child below). In this picture, and in another picture in today's on-line edition of USA Today*, this hurricane looks like an unborn human child.

So, what exactly are they suggesting here? That Hurricane Katrina is a fetus getting revenge? That God is trying to teach us a lesson? Or less likely, are they admitting that a 6 week fetus really doesn't resemble much of anything?
