I don’t know who has the “Pro-Life” ping list.
Cool. I like Hunters steamrolling method even better:

Lamm? Isn't he the guy who wanted to kill old people, too?

And ALL those fertilized eggs in fertilty clinic petri dishes will also be persons.The practice of discarding the “extras” should be no less repugnant than any other abortion.
Oddly,the position of the Catholic Church has been fairly clear and consistent.
What’s so odd about the Church’s consistency on the sanctity of life?
wagglebee has a Moral Absolutes ping.

For those who believe human life BEGINS at conception, the last 34 years has been a nightmare.
A right to life amendment to the US Constitution is a necessity.
We’ve taken a step in that direction in several states where someone like this Cutts creep is charged with two counts of murder — one for killing an unborn child. Now, if killing the unborn is murder, then they must be persons. Right?
Yes. He said they "have a duty to die and get out of the way." He also tried to run for President on the Reform Party. Say, how old is Dick Lamm these days?
And even on that basis, it collapses. If we don't know when life begins, then we don't know that it doesn't begin at conception. And if we can't establish that it doesn't begin at conception, we have a duty to treat it as if it does. If we're wrong, no harm done. If we'r right, we'r saving human lives.
The Declaration of Independence pretty much covers it...Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?? Once “Life” has begun, at conception, there are two sets of genes present. It’s no longer all about “her body”.
Missouri did this a long time ago. See below.
Life begins at conception—unborn child, defined—failure to provide prenatal care, no cause of action for.
1.205. 1. The general assembly of this state finds that:
(1) The life of each human being begins at conception;
(2) Unborn children have protectable interests in life, health, and well-being;
(3) The natural parents of unborn children have protectable interests in the life, health, and well-being of their unborn child.
2. Effective January 1, 1988, the laws of this state shall be interpreted and construed to acknowledge on behalf of the unborn child at every stage of development, all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, and decisional interpretations thereof by the United States Supreme Court and specific provisions to the contrary in the statutes and constitution of this state.
3. As used in this section, the term “unborn children” or “unborn child” shall include all unborn child or children or the offspring of human beings from the moment of conception until birth at every stage of biological development.
4. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as creating a cause of action against a woman for indirectly harming her unborn child by failing to properly care for herself or by failing to follow any particular program of prenatal care.
(L. 1986 H.B. 1596)
Pro=Life ping, allert the rest of the list ;).
My Christian family uses the pill. Not going to be acceptable when the fertilized egg can’t attach. Thank God! Can’t wait to hear the joy of baby’s giggling and children OUTSIDE playing. I worry about them, though. This world has really gone downhill since we allowed the deaths of the unborn. Will we be able to broadcast the message to the MASSES that each and every person is valuable, created in the image of God, and is priceless? You see, when a person views only his own rights as an individual, he becomes selfish, but when he sees his own value as a human, then all humans are valuable.
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. - the Fourteenth Amendment
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." - the Preamble to the United States Constitution
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..." - the Declaration of Independence
Aren’t states allowed to recognize medical licenses?
Can’t a state simply refuse to accept the medical license of a doctor that does abortion? It is, after all, a medical procedure.
There was a similar law in Missouri and that didn't make any difference with abortion laws there. It was used in a different case, however. Some lawyer defending a 20 year old for drunk driving tried to argue that since life started at conception then his client should not have been charged with underage drinking and driving but should instead have been charged under the more lenient adult laws. That didn't work either.
