"It is not demonstrable that killing fetuses is killing persons," says the superstitious Garry Wills.

His ancestors probably used the same humanist defense when enslaving Africans, who were looked upon as less-than-human: "It is not demonstrable that chaining Negroes is chaining persons."

"It is not demonstrable that killing fetuses is killing persons...

If the fetus is not special, why have human rights? If Man is just another type of animal, why the concern with his dignity? The Left talks of dignity but in reality it regards Man as just another type of beast, albeit with speech and some particular powers of reason.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
