At what moment, exactly, does the state of the entity in question morph from non-human, non-person, non-child, to human, person, child? Until they can demonstrate that, our laws are not reflecting the natural and rational default position - that the entity is as much a person-substance at one cell as it is at one trillion cells.
Does that make sense? Anyone?
Too much sense for the liberal dementia of the subpremes Stephens, Ginsberg, & Breyer. They have an agenda to uphold and prefer to ignore truth or the inalienable right to not be murdered while sequestered in the womb or a petri dish.
In a letter to the editor, a local cheerleader for abortion wrote that only the pregnant woman can choose whether "to birth the life inside her." Her mistake--in a followup letter I asked, "Is that human life, or do you figure its a fish, or a monkey?"
I got phone calls for days about that letter, every one of them enthusistically positive. Heh-heh!
