I know that it sounds crazy, but there are many people in the United States that honestly do not believe that life begins at conception. If you want the 14th amendment to prevail and to get the issue revisited at the federal level then you should push to have your state recognize birth the very instant that a pregnancy is confirmed...issuing a birth certificate at that time. Physicians that perform abortions would be scared to test for pregnancy and would likely not want to take the chance of getting caught given how much paperwork and documentation go into patient records. The only thing that could not be stopped is women getting 'morning after pills' from locales where the drug is legally prescribed. Some Lefty will bring the state law through some sort of appeals process and it (the case) would eventually make it back to the high court.
Free speech?
John and Russ, the first names of two U.S. Senators; ring a bell?
The Constitution originally had a 3/5ths clause and did not allow the issue of slavery to be addressed until 1808. Prohibition of Alcohol was once made constitutional law...liberties have frequently been overlooked or been taken away through legislation; it's not always been the states doing either, as evidenced above.
Oh, and how much liberty lost do you suppose this fine list represents?
How much of that list has Fred Thompson called for the elimination of?
And Fred. McCain-Feingold was originally "McCain-Feingold-Thompson," and Senator Thompson, more than any other member of either house, including McCain and Feingold, was the primary mover of the legislation through the process from beginning to end.
There are lots of crazy things that people believe that aren't true.
But, it is an indisputable scientific fact nowadays that human life begins at the moment of conception. The cells make the first division, and VOILA, new person, new DNA, unique in all of human history.
And that new person deserves to have their equal right to life and the enjoyment of the blessings of liberty protected, just like any other person at any stage of life, young or old.
This principle is the cornerstone of American self-government.
If you love this country, what is crazy is to dymamite the cornerstone that guarantees that our posterity will live, and will be free.
