Even Ladybugs Have More Legal Rights Than the Unborn

A little history of the name ladybug: "The name "ladybird" originated in the Middle Ages when the insects were known as the "beetle of Our Lady". They were named after The Virgin Mary, who in early religious paintings was often shown wearing a red cloak. The spots of the seven spot ladybird were said to symbolise seven joys and seven sorrows. Common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkäfer translates to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). In the USA the name was Americanized to "ladybug"."

Yes, the ladybug does serve a good purpose of controling pests. & while I am sure Mary is honored to have this insect named after her, I am even surer she is not too happy that they are given more protection than an unborn child.
