OperationCounterStrike commented on our IntelliGender blog post:
"It doesn’t MATTER what the fetus is. What matters is WHERE it is. I say if something is inside my body, then I’m entitled to have it killed NO MATTER WHAT it is. Even if it’s a person. Even if it’s an INNOCENT person. If you were inside my body, then I’d be entitled to kill YOU! And vice versa."
This thinking is not constitutional. It’s as easy as that. No one has the right to deprive another person of the right to life without due process.(14th Amendment)
The Roe v. Wade ruling determined that, since "life" was unknown, the liberty interest of the woman to decide how to deal with her pregnancy must be paramount. In short, there was no "person" to protect. Justice Harry Blackmun, author of the majority opinion noted, however, that if "personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’s right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment (14th)."
Well there ya go. It’s not just us crazy pro-lifers that think people have the right to life but the Justice who authored the most controversial ruling to date.
What the fetus is DOES matter! At least according to the Constitution it does.
