Right before birth = brain dead. Right after birth = legal human being

The personhood fairy touches the inanimate fetus with her magic personhood wand, causing the fetus to glow briefly as it becomes a person.

The language we are hearing from the pro abortion Supremes has implications far beyond abortion.

Euthanasia is one issue.

Murder of inconvenient people is another.

There is a true slippery slope here all the way to Mengele.

This also takes place in the context of sloppy approval, inducements, pressure, duress and in some cases mandates of risky and untested vaccines with serious (and sometimes fatal) side effects which begins to look a lot like human medical experimentation.

Yes, it’s just a clump of cells... with two arms two legs, two eyes, ears, mouth, nose, a beating heart, a brain, a blood type of its own, a nervous system...

Just a clump of cells.

This “person” thing is helping them get away with murder. It’s ambiguous.
Instead, stick with “living” and “human.”
The occupant of the womb, is it living or not? Is it human or not?
Sotomayor would have to concede it’s a living human. In no wise comparable to a dead body. Indeed it has far more in common with a legally protected eagle embryo, than it has with a cadaver.
We have given them latitude by agreeing to the term “person.”

She’s comparing a fetus to a Democrat?

““Movement doesn’t prove consciousness”.”

Definitely applies to her, she’s also without a conscience.

Life begins at conception. Abortion is the taking of a life before birth. The taking of an innocent life is murder. The solution to an unwanted pregnancy should not be the murder of a completely defenseless, completely innocent baby.

Women with type 1 diabetes had an average life expectancy of about 68 years, compared with 81 years for those without the disease, the study found.

yes.Godless LEFT wing mind playing God with a human life. The book of Jude is scary for these people. It says of these morally bankrupt apostates that for them there is......and I quote:

“reserved the blackness of darkness forever.”

That is pure despair. The blackness of darkness forever.

We’re talking about the beginning of life....not the end of life. They are not comparable.

Which way would you (she) rather be mistaken?
- giving a clump of cells undue protection?
- murder a sentient human child?
Absent a bright line, err on the side of caution.

Oh right, there IS a bright line: conception.

Sotomayor....never married, probably never had sexual intercourse, never had a baby inside her womb that rolled around and kicked...NEVER GAVE BIRTH, never felt the pangs of Labor, so she NEVER HELD A STAR....

and she tells us what it is all about...yep, they think they know all and are perfect...

shaking my head...

Liberals really are ‘jackass's’...

enough said...

These people should all have to sit and watch a video of a step-by-step actual abortion being performed. It sounds gruesome, but would certainly be eye-opening.

Hypocritical.

If scientists found single-celled organisms on an otherwise cold, dead rock in space, they’d scream, “We’ve found life!” I’m sure she’d have commentary.

Guess as long as it’s alien, it’s life. Not so much in the womb.

You are exactly on the right track here—another reason these SC discussions are really scary.

Who gets to decide what is life worth preserving?

If we encounter a truly alien species are we going to make an arbitrary “test” as to whether we can enslave them or kill them?

Science is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Sotomayor goes into the weeds. The Constitution is clear cut.
