[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fetuses are not "potential life", they are a separate living human being, scientifically speaking. [/quote]
If they’ve never been alive outside the womb, they’re potential life. Under the law (which is what we’re discussing) babies aren’t granted the status of living person until they’re born alive. Besides, this draft opinion is not grounded in science.[/quote]

Under which law(s)? You’re making stuff up now. They may not be citizens or registered persons, but doubtful there is a law that defines life. If there were a law, rulings like RvW wouldn’t be necessary. That’s the crux of the issue. Pass a law that clearly defines human life and what may be done legally “by others” to that human life at its various stages. Fetus, baby, toddler, teen, adult, senior, invalid, death bed patient, comatose patients, death row inmate, etc. then we can all stop being hypocrites.  [/quote]

The Constitution includes being born as a requirement for citizenship. [/quote]

And? Come on, complete the thought. How do you get from that to babies aren’t human beings till they’re born, or aren’t alive, or some damn thing? The Constitution doesn’t address that.[/quote]

The Constitution not addressing that is usually not a concern of the right. IOW, if the Constitution doesn't address it, then it isn't an issue....The constitution also said black people were 3/5th of a white person and that women couldn't vote.

Maybe it is time we update the document?[/quote]
