Fine, argue the debate on your concept of morality. But to demand that laws be codified/enacted based on your religious convictions goes against our constitutional principles, imo.

I agree with you, I never suggested that, however the moral argument is a legitimate one, though not necessarily one I agree with.

Thanks.. -- Its rare to arrive at ~any~ point of agreement on this type of thread. Too bad it doesn't happen more often.
Anyone here care to comment on why we can't agree on at least the constitutional principles involved, as agreed above?

Do you still insist that status as human being is a constitutionally defineable notion? Are you still insisting that human personhood is a constitutionally defineable notion?...

'We' wrote a Constitution dedicated to the principle that individual people have inalienable rights that cannot be violated. Pregnant women are individual people with an embryo. -- The question of when that embryo/fetus attains 'personhood' has been addressed. -- Its necessarily defined as being at 'viability'.

I'm not arguing that the Constitution defines citizenship, and I've not been arguing along religious lines, so if you're going to try such bait and switch, don't bother pinging me to your posts along such lines.

Suit yourself. - In effect by doing so you are refusing to accept our Constitutions 'rule of law' principles.
