Originally posted by Great King Rat So you want to forbid women from having abortions? Is that right? Be as clear as possible Whodey. This is not light matter. It deserves to be treated as such.
The issue is protecting human beings.
Yes, I think laws should protect human being from being killed.

When exactly does the Prog fairy wave her magic wand over the unborn child does it make it human?
Courts have not answered this yet they continue to allow it.

I didn't say you justified slavery. I only asked you if could such rationalizations of de-personing the unborn be similar to the de-personing of a slave.
Now I think the rationalization could be similar.

I think another danger is to silence the protestations of the human conscience by hiding behind fine points of dictionary words.
I think some eased their consciences about slavery by reasoning along the line of the US Constitution - "Well technically, this black slave is not a 100% PERSON anyway. He or she is only 3/5s of a PERSON."
Originally posted by sonhouse Obviously you have to limit the time, 1st trimester is the usual case. But it is still the woman's right to control her own body. NOBODY ELSE. PERIOD.
The woman should control her own body, but not someone else's body. Perhaps the woman should have controlled her own body earlier to prevent pregancy.

Originally posted by Great King Rat You feel that "smug" smiley is appropriate after reading that piece about the 10 year old being raped?
It was reading that they were not going to force the trauma of the medical operation of abortion on the poor girl that I though the "smug" similey was appropriate.
