You realize that I literally stated that I simply don't care if the fetus has personhood. In fact, I don't actually disagree with this (when you think of murders of pregnant women or irresponsibility of pregnant women, it is really beneficial to give the fetus some rights so you can have legal leverage to take some sort of action).On an unrelated note, is anybody else amused that the Chuz Life guy has a quote of himself for his signature? lol
Its adorable.
On a related note, I don't blame people who are pro-life to constantly challenge Roe v. Wade. As an American, I'd actually consider it their civil duty to do so if they didn't believe in the legality / morality of the judgement. We live in a large nation with a diversity of opinions, it is to our benefit to allow those opinions to be challenged.
On a personal note, I'm certainly pro-choice. In my opinion, any argument on pro-life vs. pro-choice comes down to a belief in freedom of choice or sanctity of life. I simply believe stronger in the mother's right to choose what to do with her own body over how sacred the thing inside her body is. You can argue over "personhood" or how developed the fetus is, or throw religious arguments at the wall, but I'll always say that people should have a right to do what they want with their bodies. Unless you develop some way to suck the fetus out and develop it independent of a person, I really don't see any sort of logical counter to that basic belief that I hold.
Exactly. It doesn't matter how developed you think the fetus is. A woman has the right to deny the use of her body....to anyone. Or anything.
The Supreme Court said this: "If a state were to establish personhood for children in the womb - the case FOR abortion becomes nearly IMPOSSIBLE to make."
That's what the Supreme Court said. Not just me.
And, for what it's worth - the pro abortion attorney (Sarah Weddington) nervously AGREED with the court (Justice Potter Stewart) when he made the comment.
Since that time, many States (more than 30) have been incrementally implementing the very kind of language that Justice Potter speculated about in our fetal homicide laws.
Some libtardz won't acknowledge it until it is nailed to their foreheads with the aid of a Louisville slugger. . . but that's fine by me.
For as long as we have fetal homicide laws which define and establish the personhood of "children in the womb" as "human beings" the conflict between those laws and Roe will inevitably end up before the court for them to reconcile.
Every MURDER conviction under our fetal homicide laws will bring us closer and closer to a challenge to Roe as those murder convictions are appealed.
So far, the SCOTUS has refused to hear the challenges. . . I think because they are trying to find the right case for overturning Roe.
On the other hand, as I stated I don't care. I'm not sure how thick you are, but whether or not you consider a fetus a person doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's part of the mother's body? Until you can show, in a provable way, that the fetus isn't attached to the mother than you really can't argue against my belief in the mother's right to choose trumps the fetus's right to life.
I understand your wants and your beliefs but the SCOTUS has already rejected your claim. They are the ones who said that once personhood is established for the child in the womb, the case for abortion becomes near impossible to make.
The Supreme Court said that. Not me.
So, it's clear they have rejected YOUR claim that just because the child (put there by the actions of the mother and her partner) is attached that somehow she has a right to kill it.
I think the court rejects that argument at least in cases other than rape. . . because the child is only in the situation it is in because of the actions that the woman and her partner took to put it there.
No-one has the right to lure and entrap another person in a situation and then claim the right to kill them in an act of self defense.
Stewart didn't write the court's decision on Roe v. Wade. Blackmun did. Thus you're not citing the 'Supreme Court'. You're citing a single justice in the Supreme Court. With the claims you're citing NOT represented in the majority opinion.
Once again, you omit amazingly relevant details that are inconvenient to your argument.
As usual, your argument relies on the ignorance of your audience.
