Body Parts, Schmarty Parts. What’s All the Fuss About?

Actually fetuses don't become persons until they become able to vote a straight Democratic ticket.

This status begins at age 18 and ends at death, except in Chicago and some parts of the northeast, where it can continue practically forever.

Shouldn't require saying: /s

My intent was the opposite........ many speak of disdain for the concept of abortion as murder. That can be argued, it involves intent.

My thought is simplicity, unencumbered definition.

Homicide is however a clearly defined legal term specifically related to the death of a human.

In describing the cumbersome concept of partial birth abortion as homocide both the concept of death and humanity is invoked.

In discussing the subject Rush mentioned the PP use of the term patient. The patient gave PP permission to remove the body parts. In a homocide, who was the patient? The patient was the human from which no permission was given to remove body parts from the uncrushed portions of the total.

This is going to get very interesting in determining precisely what was removed and what it was used for and was the use to save or extend human life. Ultimately, homicide produced the human tissue.

However, I concede your point. Butchery brings to mind the concept of the Nazi Joseph Mengele and his disregard for life

Thanks. I just strongly feel that we cannot let these butchers hide behind the whole transplant process as an obfuscation. That is their way. They are doing it with illegals and pawning off that subset into the overall immigrant meme.

They do this because their arguments and actions don’t stand by themselves.

as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health,

But see as a woman I don't get to make health choices anymore. Now with the new food labeling and "bad for you" food regulations, and toilet regulations and light bulb regulations, the only choices the democrats support is kill your babies.

I am being forced to purchase a health care policy that includes maternity, driving the policy up astronomically, and I don't need maternity, or contraceptives or abortion. But I don't get to "choose" those options, the government already chose for me and I will be punished by the IRS if I do not comply.

The party of choice, give me a break, the only choice they want you to have is kill your baby. Remember how they demeaned Sarah Palin for not killing her down syndrome baby? It was her choice to keep it, but the feminist's say the only choice is "kill your babies!"

N-i-c-e deconstruction.

“Don’t you know anything?”

That’s what they all say. (Thanks for that nice large sarcasm S.)

It’s a fact that “fetuses” respond to outside stimuli while in the womb.

The ghouls, against all reality, deny it in order to make convenience the order of the day. (Not to mention the convenience of liberal men who use women for recreation.)

If someone is going to argue for or against abortion, one has to consider the entity inside a woman one minute prior to coming out fully formed as a member of society with rights and protections applied.

If an egg cell splits into two cells after fertilization, are those two cells capable of pain? Most people would say not.

So, we have two ends of a spectrum as it relates to abortion:

On one end of the scale, an egg cell splits in two and begins the journey towards the other end of the scale which is a fully formed, ready for life human being, one minute before it enters this world.

The fact that proponents of late term abortion will argue that there is no difference between those two ends of the spectrum tells you all you need to know about this situation: making those two ends of the spectrum exactly the same from the perspective of a baby inside a woman should tell you it is a political parameter, not a scientific, medical, religious, or moral parameter.

We all know it is a political parameter. And that pretty much tells us all we need to know.

A close member of my family is a scientist in a cancer research facility. The scientists are required to anesthetize the mouse fetus prior to extraction for testing because after about the midpoint of gestation, it is believed that they feel pain. Isn’t it odd that a mouse fetus is seen in higher regard than a human fetus?

“Isn’t it odd that a mouse fetus is seen in higher regard than a human fetus?”

Absolutely. (Not to mention despicable.)
