You can’t do it right after the baby is born because at that point EVERYONE acknowledge it is a life. Keep thinking you’ll get it some day.

That Blacks weren’t recognized as human is irrelevant. The question I’m am asking “Is it life?” That’s debatable. I am protected in my beliefs and I am not obliged to live my life any different.

They wall between Church and State, as intended by the non establishment clause was meant to forever settle ephemeral disputes by taking them off the table. You’re entitled to believe what you want and you will not be excluded from participating in government.

The flaw in Father Pavone’s argument is that his interpretation of God’s Law is what everyone needs to accept or else the entire body of law is useless. Even the prolifers understand shades of grey. “You break one law, you’ve broken them all.” They understand that there are different grades of severity of offense. If you ask a pro lifer if he lusted after someone other than his wife – will you get an honest answer? I think you’ll find all lot of prolifers at the porn section of the local newstand committing atrocities. The fact is that much of the Bible’s meaning is found in the form of allegory, yet the most troubling line of that whole book is taken liturally.

The bad news that I have to relate is that not everyone believes that life begins at conception. The law protect them as well; and protects them from persecution and disenfranchisement.
