Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González signed Senate Bill 504 into law this week, recognizing preborn children as "natural persons."
Key Takeaways: Governor of Puerto Rico Jenniffer González signed SB 504 into law, recognizing preborn babies as persons.
The bill does not change current abortion laws or provide further protections for preborn children.
Abortion supporters claim the law will "reverse women's rights."
The Details: The bill amends Puerto Rico's Civil Code to recognize preborn babies as natural persons from the moment of fertilization at any stage of gestation within the mother’s womb. It was authored by Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz of the New Progressive Party (NPP) and co-sponsored by Sens. Joanne Rodríguez Veve (Independent), Brenda Pérez (NPP-Arecibo), and Wilmer Reyes (NPP-Guayama). According to the República, the law does not rewrite criminal status or enact new protections for preborn children. Pro-abortion claims that the bill will "reverse women's rights" are baseless.
"Rather than radical, the law reflects a growing acknowledgment that legal systems cannot indefinitely avoid the scientific reality that human life begins at conception," wrote Vianca Rodriguez. "By naming that reality directly, Puerto Rico chose honesty over ambiguity and placed the value of unborn life firmly within its legal framework, reinforcing long-standing principles of human dignity and the protection of life recognized in both Puerto Rico’s and the United States’ constitutional traditions."

Look for Judge Boasberg to declare that he has Puerto Rican cheekbones and place a restraining order on Puerto Rico.
He will call it the Boasberg Right To Kill.
Heck, Boasberg is so far down the rabbit hole, he just might mandate a certain number of abortions be done every year.
Independence. Never mind what they do.
Women are all for their unborn being considered babies if someone else dec8des they aren’t wanted.
This is hardly the basis for sound law. This legal cognitive dissonance needs to be corrected. People are not people based on a womans subjective view of want.

Yes, human life and personhood being based upon the level of functionality or location is contrary to the principle that human life is sacred from conception onward. Thus Gn. 9:6 onward. And yet, based upon the value placed upon it, disturbing the very nest of a migratory bird is illegal under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which protects their nests, eggs, and young without a permit.
Not so much human life, and with an est. 63% of abortions being via abortion pills, thus treated as sewage, while approx, 96% of abortions are chosen on the broad basis of convenience, aspects such as sacrifices our past parents made and were rewarded for. Lacking the latter, many women today become SJW's looking for fulfillment
True. But my point is its unsustainable chaotic law to base what a human is on the subjective changing wants of every single woman. They are not God.
As they have moved heavily Republican thanks to trump, it is time to make them a state
“The bill does not change current abortion laws or provide further protections for preborn children.”
That makes no sense given that the new law declares the unborn a “natural person”.
” it is time to make them a state”
The PRs I know are grifters and hate America — although they live here and are happy to take advantage of what America can do for them. They are anti-Trump.
One of them even said that China is better than America. My friend said, “Yet, here you are. You can go to China if you want to.” End conversation.
I think America should kick PR to the curb — and any other territory or entity where English isn’t spoken by the masses.
That’s interesting. Could the left accept it?
