Hmmmmm.....indeed. If you believed this story, you'd be rushing out to defend every pregnant woman you saw from some alleged crazy not-wanna-be father. It would look like WBAL-TV 11 NEWS is trying to drum up some business.
Science, in fact, has answered this problem long ago, yet the judicial system has chosen to ignore the solution for social engineering purposes. Science already assumes an individual human being comes to exist at fecundation. Science even uses this truth as a fundamental axiom upon which many scientific tests are based for validity, testing the individual for things like Downs Syndrome and rH factor and anemia, long before a full complement of organs compliments the individual human being begun at conception.
We are about to be deluged with political debate where one side will be arguing for exploitative utilization of embryonic individual human beings (that the exploitation is planned and deemed valid affirms the underlying axiom of individual human being at earliest age) on the grounds that embryos are not yet human beings, while the other side will be arguing that exploitation of early human life (whether a being yet or not, they choose to avoid) is degrading of all human life. The solution/end for these debates is easily found if the debaters would just acknowledge what science has already accepted as the fundamental truth upon which their scientific exploitations are based. Truth is, the scientists want the illogical ambiguity to continue because they have secretly decided that cannibalism as they wish to practice it is okay, but they don't want the people to see that the exploitations are in fact cannibalism.
Each indiviaul alive today began their lifetime continuum at their unique conception. Each individual alive today has been an alive individual human being since their unique conception. Very many alive individuals today had their individual life checked for genetically related disorders long before their lifetime continuum reached the age of having distinct and complete organs, but the fact that medical people tested them so early in their lifetime and took the test results to be valid for them as an individual human being already is testimony that individual human being status begins at conception, regardless of the arbitrary definitions applied speciously for debate purposes wooing civilization toward 'enlightened cannibalism.'
Blindly slaughtering our fellow individual human beings while they were in the womb, for lo these many deacdes, has brought us to this 'felicitous' juncture in civilization's gestational stage, where we are manipulated by lies to look forward with eager anticipation the exploitative use of fellow individual human beings, to cure and sustain we older individual human beings.
Hmmm is right. I do not like those laws that somehow perceive women as sinless in domestic violence cases, with feminists predating on families having mere stress disputes during or after pregnancy, yet paroting them around as potential murderers. Yes sin is great in society but hospital screenings are not sinless either.
It just makes it worse when nurses start acting like cops and check whether my car's horn and blinkers work before they put the baby in the car. Also they trashed us because our car seat was over 5 years old and did not hence meet safety standards. They gave us one free that did not seem any safer nor comfortable.... go figure.
