So, you don’t believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence.

I do not fault the proposition for what it wanted. But too many are running crazy panicking to sell it. So should we do less, or nothing at all. I’m talking only of positive protections, that the law has no choice but to provide. Skirt the quibbles by stating less than we would want, but enough to get the votes and enough to cover most of the carnage. Taking it to the point of a heartbeat, or even to the point of a functioning nervous system, would be defensible in new arguments against the old Roe v. Wade.

So do you think Thomas Jefferson thought a spermatozoa was a man?
