Ok, here's the question. Is this baby a person?

[scott91]

looks like a person to me.

[Sungirl]

How many months is this fetus?

[jwalsh07]

How many months is this fetus?

I don't know.

Is it a person?

[Lorianne]

Unfortunately, not according to the definition predicated on the word "born".

[Sungirl]

You don't know how many months? I find that hard to believe. Looks like the last trimester.

Do you know the web page where they list the abortion doctors?

[jwalsh07]

Soliciting opinions. :-}

[jwalsh07]

Unfortunately, not according to the definition predicated on the word "born".

Lorianne, I think you are confusing "citizens" ans persons. The 14th Amendment is from whence non citizens are granted rights under the Constitution.

Should not American babies in utero at least have the same rights as non citizens?

OD course it is a person. God knows you even as you grow in your mother's womb.

Well, you may find it hard to believe butits the truth. Its a promotional image that GE uses to hawk their new 4D Ultrasound Unit. Its going to change the abortion debate, mark my words.

Do you know the web page where they list the abortion doctors?,/I>

Again I plead ignorance.

But what difference does it make. 20 month old babies have survived quite nicely outside the womb. So at the risk of being a pain in the ass, I have to ask one more time.

Is this a person?

[jwalsh07]

I'll be counting your vote twice. :-}

It doesn't look like a dog,cat,lizard,ant,sparrow.....

Hmm, must be a person.

[Bowana]

Most definitions of the word "Person" include the words Human and Individual.

Is this fetus Human? Yes.

Is this fetus an individual? No.

No, a fetus is not a person until birth.

[mamelukesabre]

They don't pay taxes, therefore in the eyes of big brother, they don't exist.

If someone were to dream up a way to tax fetuses, you could bet your big A that big brother would be trying to save every last one of them.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Since it's not born yet, it can be considered undocumented and therefore has more rights than a citizen.

[mamelukesabre]

20 month????!!!


Did you mean 20 week?

[jwalsh07]

Is this fetus an individual? No.

You believe that a baby in the womb is not a distinct and seperate human being? Based on what?

[jwalsh07]

Did you mean 20 week?

LOL, you bet my big A I did!

[steelwheels]

Well, it is if it's.............wanted.
