>>>>I would really love to see a civil rights case made for the unborn.

Since I'm not a democrat....how is a civil rights case done? (yes being a wise gal...well not really)

Are there papers to file? Does it have to be done in the same state as this judge? Since the judge set the precedent with this citizenship ruling, now would be the time to use it.

It would also stop any alternative intentions like another freeper mentioning INS issues.

I am not sure how it can be done but I know it can. There are enough state laws dealing with the unborn as a seperate entity that One of the laws I am thinking of are the drug laws dealing with pregnant women.
What I don't know is if it could be done with a specific plantiff or if it could be done as a class action suit.
As far as where it could be done I think there is some leeway. If it is a Federal court I think it can be done anywhere in that Federal district. Howeve from what I remember from my legal research class years ago any lawyer can use this ruling in any courthouse. It would have less ''standing'' in other jurisdictions but it would be considered good law.
I am not a lawyer but I did take some classes when I thought I might like to be a paralegal. If any lawyer is reading this I apologize in advance for any mistakes that I may have made in my logic or understanding of the law.
