I still think that a good strategy on abortion would be to get out in front of the argument and work back.

1. Put a resolution up in Congress stating that killing a five day old infant is wrong. See how the Dhims vote. Do not tell the Dhims what you have in plan.

2. Keep putting up the same resolution subtracting one day from the infants life each time until you get to birth. Some Dhims (like Obama) will vote negative at this point.

3. Then put up a bill to make third term abortions illegal.

4. After the Dhims have voted against it, run an add campaign to shame them. “Does a baby really magically become human only after birth?”

Additionally, the Republicans should put up a resolution confirming the need to protect the eggs of all protected bird species based on the scientific fact that these embryos are obviously already a living member of their species. Or if they were really brave they would do the opposite and suggest a bill decriminalizing the destruction of such eggs based on an inability to reach a consensus about when life begins. After all, how can you say that an egg is an eagle, but human embryo is just a cell mass?

Boxer I’m not answering these questions

to see a transcript of Boxer on the Senate floor stating that a baby isn’t a baby until “you take it home from the hospital”.

Thanks for the post, SampleMan. I plan to bring up your idea as a discussion starter in my state. The good folks of Colorado have provided an excellent example of how to take the personhood issue to the ballot. I'd like to do something similar here in Maryland. The process for amending the state constitution here goes through the legislature, so strategy like yours is especially relevant here.

Best wishes,
