That is what bothers me. I assume these "people" have a medical education. This attitude must be common. These are from the same educational background as any doctor or nurse.
Scary.
But I, for one, think that there is one thing more important for Congress to do: to tack an amendment on the next "must-pass" appropriation bill that states:
For the purposes of the law within the United States, the definition of "personhood" is extended to include all human beings from the moment of fertilization. In accordance with the Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution, this definition is not subject to judicial review.
Article 3 Section 2 says, in part:
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
Why would this be important?
Take a look at the actual text of the Roe v Wade decision:
A. The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a "person" within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, [p157] for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment. The appellant conceded as much on reargument. [n51] On the other hand, the appellee conceded on reargument [n52] that no case could be cited that holds that a fetus is a person within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Constitution does not define "person" in so many words. Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment contains three references to "person." The first, in defining "citizens," speaks of "persons born or naturalized in the United States." The word also appears both in the Due Process Clause and in the Equal Protection Clause. "Person" is used in other places in the Constitution: in the listing of qualifications for Representatives and Senators, Art. I, § 2, cl. 2, and § 3, cl. 3; in the Apportionment Clause, Art. I, § 2, cl. 3; [n53] in the Migration and Importation provision, Art. I, § 9, cl. 1; in the Emolument Clause, Art. I, § 9, cl. 8; in the Electors provisions, Art. II, § 1, cl. 2, and the superseded cl. 3; in the provision outlining qualifications for the office of President, Art. II, § 1, cl. 5; in the Extradition provisions, Art. IV, § 2, cl. 2, and the superseded Fugitive Slave Clause 3; and in the Fifth, Twelfth, and Twenty-second Amendments, as well as in §§ 2 and 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. But in nearly all these instances, the use of the word is such that it has application only post-natally. None indicates, with any assurance, that it has any possible pre-natal application. [n54] [p158]
All this, together with our observation, supra, that, throughout the major portion of the 19th century, prevailing legal abortion practices were far freer than they are today, persuades us that the word "person," as used in the Fourteenth Amendment, does not include the unborn.
It seems that if a definition of "person" was legally expanded to include the unborn, it would cut Roe v Wade off at the knees.
Then the funding of PP would be a moot point as any attempt to deprive a person of life without due process would be a violation of that person's rights.
“Imagine if Germany had been a democracy during Hitler’s reign “
or had the extent of free Press as we do . . .
they didn’t have the democracy and Free Press that we do now, especially with cable and the Internet and radio;
so WE are more complicit than any German was in the 20s 30s 40s because the information is not hidden but presented to our faces! Yet without a democracy and a Free Pres and the Internet, the Germans had a resistance movement, and many of them died for their convictions. We are not asked to die for our convictions, yet. This is the time for us to make a difference, or some of us or our children or our neighbors will have to suffer that fate.
Jim, the Planned Parenthood expose’ is very devastating to even a lot of liberals, and should be one of our top priorities in Congress re federal defunding of it.
However, it is more of the key that opened the door and eyes of the American people as to what is going on under the radar in the Obama authoritarian regime.
The killing of Kate Steinle finally awoken a lot of people as to the horrible crimes committed by too many illegal criminal aliens who have been protected by the Marxist/religious band who created the “sanctuary city” concept. This is hurting Obama and his red rats, and the Democrats as well.
This is another key target area where we must keep the pressure on both in Congress and in the media.
The Iran “agreement” act of treason is also just as important since, as the old adage goes, “one nuke can really ruin your day”. Just as the Japanese and the Israelis who are the future target of the next group of bombs made-in-Iran.
Obamacare is showing significant signs of coming apart in many areas, and white liberals are suffering from it. Good. What goes round, comes round.
HillaryGate is not just warming up but is like a volcano getting ready to blow. Our job is to fan the flames to make that so.
Our job is to make sure that when “it comes round”, it hits the left like a Mack Truck on full throttle.
We have been given a gift of 4-5 major fiascos and tragedies upon which to base our political offensives.
When the enemy is off-balance, you hit him in many places at the same time with full force. You want to bring him down to his knees before you kick him in the balls and lay him out flat.
A professor from the Un. of Pennsylvania once wrote a book entitled “The Front Is Everywhere”. That should be our policy, to make every major issue a “front” for our attacks. Give the enemy (Obama and Democrats and Liberals and Reds) no rest, no chance to reform, no coverup by the media, no lies on talk shows going unchallenged.
The TIME IS NOW TO ATTACK and continue attacking, until we finally start winning.
No hesitation, no complaining, no stopping, no despair. Only attack, attack, and attack, taking no prisoners and making the traitors and fools pay for their treason.
We have our targets in our sights. Now let’s attack them relentlessly.
“Our job is to make sure that when “it comes round”, it hits the left like a Mack Truck on full throttle.”
YES!
Absolutely .. no other business is more important than stopping the wholesale murder of babies.
This is hard to get out in the mainstream. I think it’s time to focus on the horrors of late term abortion as it will cast pp in a position they may not be able to ever recover from.
While it may be hard “to get out in the mainstream” re what I wrote, we have to be more than a One-Trick Pony, or we will lose any respect for our taking strong stands on major issues concerning both our national and internal defense, as well as concerns about our educational system, the attacks on American culture/civilization, and the subverting of the Constitution and Congress by Obama and his reds.
We need to be able to multitask on several issues at one time. That is how Obama has flummoxed the GOP into giving him all the legislation or powers he has wanted without a fight.
We need to stand strong on key issues because any sign of weakness (i.e. Romney debating Obama with the pig Crowley interfering without a challenge) could be killer with the public.
100% behind you on this Jim. God bless you!
What the hell good are they if they cannot defend even the most innocent and helpless of us all?
perhaps we could sell them for fertilizer if push comes to shove??
“No hesitation, no complaining, no stopping, no despair. Only attack, attack, and attack, taking no prisoners and making the traitors and fools pay for their treason.

Absolutely!

All it takes is the choice to do evil.
Abortion is what is at the root of our present ills. It is religion vs non-religion. It is the culture of death vs the culture of life. It is belief in God vs paganism. It is valuing life vs devaluating it. It is wealth makes right vs humanity. Our country, our society, our culture is compromised by Roe v Wade. Who/what caused Hillary's rapid recovery from being "disturbed". Who/what made Jeb realized he'd mispoken. Who owns these people? Who/what is hidden behind the curtain? De-fund PP and we might find out.
It’s time to get mean. If I had the skill I’d make a picture of Hillary’s grandchild cut to pieces and post it everywhere. And if I had the money I’d put it on billboards.
The caption: This is what would have happened to Bill and Hillary’s grandchild if Chelsea had CHOSEN to abort the baby.
*I’d say it’s far past time for us to stop consenting*
Yes it is.
Abortion is the greatest abuse of human rights in the world....
