| Try this link, it goes along with my discussion here. It is strictly from a Constitutional stance, as my argument has been. http://www.ashbrook.org/publicat/onp...stripling.html \"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.\"--Abraham Lincoln | |||||||||||||||||||||

From a legal aspect: Criteria for personhood The above points seem to indicate that there may be persons that are not human, and there may be humans that are not persons. For these reasons, many philosophers have tried to give a more precise definition, focusing on some trait or traits that all persons, real and hypothetical, must possess. The most obvious such trait that persons typically possess is a conscious mind, typically (but not necessarily) with plans, goals, desires, hopes, fears, and so on. Yet the claim that such a mind is necessary for personhood is also problematic, as most would consider human babies as persons, yet their minds do not seem sufficiently advanced to satisfy this condition. A few philosophers have simply accepted that babies are not persons. However, most have not. Instead, some have suggested that the potential for such a mind is the correct trait. Yet another view is that personhood is not all-or-nothing: there can be degrees of personhood, based on how close to a fully working mind the object in question has. Thus, a typical adult is entirely a person, while a human permanently in a coma is not a person at all. This view also seems to have some unpleasant consequences, for example, that a young child or someone with a moderate mental handicap might be, say, only half a person (and perhaps therefore have only half the rights, or be regarded as half as important). Jean Vanier, who has spent most of his life working and living with people with learning disabilities, has suggested that the capacity to be loved is what makes a true person. It is probably true to say that other views also exist, and that the debate is not close to being resolved. http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Person \"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.\"--Abraham Lincoln | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am approaching this from a legal and Constitutional aspect. I am not throwing personal bias into this argument at all. For all intents and puposes I could personally agree with you (not likely), but my point remains that the Constitution is devoid of such descriptions and it allows for "Due Process" to LIFE. By Constitutional standards, that LIFE must alloted these processes...if you were to change this then it must be done by Constitutional Amendment...thus the link I provided above, had you read it and not glanced through it. My ultimate point is that we are not or should not be goverened by a panel of nine. We the people are supposed to establish how we are governed and that we govern ourselves. That is the intent of the Constitution...and that is part of my point in this discussion. \"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.\"--Abraham Lincoln | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

While that definitely hasn't happened, I'd prefer the reps I elect choose the laws for my area, not a panel of 9. Being pro-choice, I'd obviously vote for someone that shares my views. Hispeed would vote for the person he sees as pro-life. Too many federal regulations. If the opposite of pro is con, what is Congress? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I fail to see the logic in creating a situation where women will have to travel around the nation to receive care. Great logic --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
