New rhetoric in SCOTUS abortion ruling (Ginsgerg: Stop calling a 2nd trimester "fetus" a "baby")

She is, in most states in the US. The fact that Scott Peterson was charged with the murder of his unborn son was essentially unprecedented.

We tried to pass a law to fix that here in New Hampshire a couple of years ago, but the pro-abortion crowd screamed that it was a “slippery slope.”

Who is right?

You are. Illinois: The killing of an "unborn child" at any stage of pre-natal development is intentional homicide, voluntary manslaughter, or involuntary manslaughter or reckless homicide. Ill. Comp. Stat. ch. 720, ''5/9-1.2, 5/9-2.1, 5/9-3.2 (1993).

Should preface that law by saying: The killing of an "unborn child" at any stage of pre-natal development (outside of an abortion clinic) is intentional homicide, voluntary manslaughter, or involuntary manslaughter or reckless homicide.

As an aside, when my sister-in-law was eight months pregnant with twins, she was hospitalized with high blood pressure. Every time I went to visit her, the doctor always reffered to "the fetus" instead of "the baby." It really creeped me out.

Damn know-it-alls... thinking Clark Kent is Superman! I mean, come on!

Abortion Rights Activists prefer more scientific terms? Remember the Penn and Teller scam last week where they got Environmental Activists to sign a petition to ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide?

Shucks, I hate admitting that I’m wrong.

[mvpel]

Wait, I may be behind the times here...

Yes, I am a bit - Bush signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act in 2004. But that only applies to crimes having federal jurisdiction. According to the Wikipedia article (I know, I know...) 34 states have similar laws for state-jurisdiction crimes.

This is just too funny, but frightening also. Every time I see this bitch getting wound up, it reminds me of Hitler, at one of his mass rallies.

Besides Adolf’s bulging eyes, she has the same manic obsession with power and lack of conscience. If she had to murder 6 million Jews to rule the world, no problem. Don’t forget, when it comes to a sociopath, the end always justifies the means.

Penn Jillette is best left to another thread. He is rabidly pro-abortion.

She may be a lawyer but she has no clue about medicine and especially pregnancy. This slug is clueless and unable to understand reality.

To the fast approaching non-viable Ruthie Ginsberg, the debate is about not exposing the dehumanizing rhetoric her allies in evil have promoted. She, like all liberal pukes, cannot stand truth to invade the mountain of lies upon which her world view rests ... she is the exhibiting the ‘zeitgeist’ of liberalism, shape the debate by capturing the language and spit upon any who would shine truth to ‘power’, the power of evil to twist and lie for empowerment.

[IL Republican]

Thank you, I’m glad to see that my very liberal state got one thing right!

[lawdude]

Looks like she just bit the head off a Bat!

The way this is worded by the majority seems to imply there is a right/approved way of killing a fetus.

Coulter is right, it's a religous sacrifice. {Someone please help with the pictures}

[red irish]

The truth will set us free! It’s like some people in this country are under some kind of evil spell and would kill for the right to an abortion.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Ruth Bader is only the tip of the Ginsberg. Thank God that five members of the court recognized the murderous, lethal bulk of the Ginsberg below the skinny, harmless looking tip.

[red irish]

You are right!

[JWinNC]

Hell... fetus isn’t even specific, it’s a generic term used mainly for mammals in the womb. So what specifically is it they are aborting? They’ve already established “it” is alive. Could it possibly be a human being? Gasp! It’s a baby human!

You should have corrected the doctor!
