    If you’re gonna be consistent about this “life begins at conception” bullshit, stick to your fuckin guns for once. A baby is born 9 months old, their first birthday is three months after birth—come on you fuckin cowards. That makes as much sense as anything else these fuckheads believe.

      Not that I support these idiots but birthdays celebrate birth. There is a difference between conception and birth.

        Really birthdays celebrate a change in age. We just call them birthdays because the 2 are the same thing.

        I think until this year(?) South Koreans traditionally did something like this. You were born starting at 1 year old to count for your time kicking in gestation. There’s some groundwork for FL to follow.

        What the person below said. You don’t annually celebrate coming out of your moms vagina. You annually celebrate another year of your life and your age getting higher. If, like these idiots suggest they believe, life begins at conception, you would celebrate your age turning over three months after you were born. And maybe it’d have a different name, and you’d celebrate both the “birth day” and your “age day.” I remember hearing something about “name days” but I’m not sure what those are exactly.

      Good point. I’m going to start celebrating my Conceived Day sometime in late February

      Now, for that uncomfortable conversation with my parents to find out the actual date
