I disagree that it won’t save babies. I agree that we can’t give up equal protection for all humans. I don’t think this legislation does that. This is overt incrementalism. Beebee knows that and that’s why he vetoed. They could have done nothing and allowed 22 week old babies to be murdered, or passed this legislation. Those were their options.
They need decent state-wide leadership. Which I think they’ll get. This is the first time in 100 years Arkansas has conservatives leading both houses. Obama has turned that state red. I know people in that capital and they’re true conservatives.
This legislation does do that though.
All it really accomplishes is to further codify the allowance of the violation of the equal right to life of certain classes of disfavored human persons.
Which is actually worse than what Blackmun did in Roe.
As I said before, immoral and completely unconstitutional.
Back then, the abolitionists didn't hesitate to help as many slaves as they could to escape or to buy their families' freedom.
One thing they did not do is stick their noses righteously in the air and declaim that not one single slave should be freed until they all could be.
