But if helps abortion pushers sleep at night...
It may seem silly to some, but it is at the center of the entire legal & constitutional argument, so it's not wise or practical to just slough it off.
An unborn baby doesn't have a SS#, a born baby does. A born baby is physically separated from the mother, an unborn baby is physically connected to the mother.
There are many different valid ways of looking at it, and when that is the case, I believe government should err on the side of individual liberty.
I'm not pushing abortion, I'm pushing individual liberty and getting government out of our lives. Do you want President Hillary and a Democratic Congress writing and passing laws based on government-mandated moral codes and the moral shaping of society?
As I said, I've heard it all before. The unborn baby has distinct DNA from it's mother. It's a separate individual human being. All thresholds as to viability are capricious, due to ongoing medical advances, and arbitrary, having no solid philosophical/biological foundation.
"Individual liberty" has never encompassed the right to murder another, so I am absolutely comfortable with government protecting the right to life, foremost among our rights, of every human being. Given what we do and do not know, I also believe the government should err on the side of individual liberty, that of the most helpless and innocent.
