Blah, blah, blah same fantasy land drivel you've been swearing was right around the corner for at least 3 long years now. The only thing that's happened is Conservatives are loosing their seats and we now have a Pro-Choice president of the United States.
Everyone has known about your "definition" for years & years. It's not changing. I mean I know you are emotionally invested. Much like how some in the South still think the South will rise again.
Believe whatever personal pipe dream you want... I'm sticking with reality.
Your whole premise is a matter of opinion. Personhood is a legal definition. The whole matter revolves around at what stage of development (from 2 cells on) does the development started inside a woman's body take away the rights of the woman.
I don't know how many times it must be said that the High Court will never look at the "conception" stage as taking precedent over the entire woman. It flies in the face of birth control methods that are approved of by about 90% of our population.
As I've said before I think the thing to do is just pass a Women's Reproductive Rights Constitutional Amendment. That would end the politics of the abortion issue.
I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Congress has nothing to do with it and you know it. It's the fact that it's done all the time and it is not something that brings with it murder charges. It's allowed. I didn't have to be a part of it to read the documentation. But I also know about it from 1st hand sources such as my Uncle an Army Captain who served in an Infantry Division supporting Patton's Armor Division, my father who served in Korea and my wife who's also retired Army... an Intelligence Captain & Russian linguist.
Truth as Collateral Damage
By Marc Herold
October 22, 2008
Civilian deaths from US/Nato air strikes in Afghanistan are not accidents or mistakes – they are calculated and predicted. The "precision attack" levied by James Appathurai (October 17, 2008) upon Seumas Milne's column in the Guardian bears the usual trappings of Nato-speak and actions (truth as collateral damage). From 2006 to mid-2008, US/Nato aerial attacks killed 1,488 Afghan civilians with 1,458 tonnes of bombs, whereas between October 7 and December 10, 2001 US war planes dropped 14,000 tonnes of bombs resulting in 2,569-2,949 dead Afghan civilians (or 18-21 civilians killed per 100 tonnes of US bombs)...
It does not "stand to reason" that... you're "interpreting" what you want it to say. Yes it's saying that GOD gives all types of different people certain equal rights... mainly speaking to race and economic status. And at the time of the writing birth was when rights were given to people. What you are struggling to contort into your argument is some new scientific perception of a conception as a full person. We can argue over the flaws in that but it's undeniable that certainly was not the case way back in 1776.
Sure we are... that's why we're picking up so many new Pro-Choice seats in government! Women are not going to be pushed back into the 50's no matter how much you whine.
