You are dodging the question, so. . . Again, I ask. . . .

How does this (FEDERAL LAW) NOT recognize a "child in the womb" as "a human being" and as such, a "natural PERSON?"

The charge of MURDER by definition is the act of one PERSON criminally killing another PERSON.

You can't be charged with MURDER for killing anything else.
It's not that I'm dodging the question -- it's that I'm pointing out it's a nonsensical question comprised of bullshit you're making up. How does one answer such a bullshit question?

Again... you were shown the definition of a "natural person" is s human being who was born. For you to continue asking a question based on that false premise is ridiculous.

Ok.... let me try to make this easier for you to understand.

Murder by definition is the criminal killing of one person by another person.

True or false.
That's true.

True or false... in many, if not most, situations, abortion is not criminal?

That's true.

In most cases, abortions ARE (for now) legal.

This thread is not directly about abortions, however. Its about our fetal Homicide laws and whether or not those laws are Constitutional.

True or False. . . (Under the Federal Fetal Homicide law cited) All children in the womb are recognized and defined as such "in any stage of development" whether they are legally killed in a LEGAL abortion or not.

So, how does the combination of that definition and the fact that it applies to ALL children in the womb and the fact that a person can be charged with MURDER for killing one NOT equate to an establishment of PERSONHOOD for "children in the womb?"

The pro-lifer resorts to name-calling when unable to support any of his bullshit. Usually I get much more evidence, even when arguing against a group as dumb as pro-lifers. Maybe it's the opposite and this is a smart pro-lifer. He saw where the discussion was going, determined that he was woefully unfit to participate, and resorted to name-calling early.

Your attempt to make this about me is cute.

Petty, but cute.

The legal definition for what a "natural person" is what it is and it will remain what it is, while you tilt at your windmills and try again and again to make it about "me."

You already know this, of course.... but what else is a libtard to do? You certainly can not afford to acknowledge the facts that don't support your denials of children and their rights.

can you.
Keep running away....

A human being, naturally born, versus a legally generated juridical person.​

Ummmm. . . .

No shit! Definitions used in law are often defined in the text of the law, often in the "definitions" section. Your entire premise of finding the "legal definition" of a natural person in a "legal dictionary" is therefore totally moronic, but totally expected from you.

Like This?

18 U.S. Code § 1841 - Protection of unborn children

(d) As used in this section, the term “unborn child” means a child in utero, and the term “child in utero” or “child, who is in utero” means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.

(C) If the person engaging in the conduct thereby intentionally kills or attempts to kill the unborn child, that person shall instead of being punished under subparagraph (A), be punished as provided under sections 1111 {MURDER}, 1112 {MANSLAUGHTER}, and 1113 {Attempted MURDER / MANSLAUGHTER} of this title for intentionally killing or attempting to kill a human being.
Unlike the definition I posted, at no point does the section with the definition you posted provide the definition of a person or natural person. It only defines "unborn child," "child in utero," and "child, who is in utero."
Again, I ask. . . .

How does this FEDERAL LAW NOT recognize a "child in the womb" as "a human being" and as such, a "natural PERSON?"

The charge of MURDER by definition is the act of one PERSON criminally killing another PERSON.

You can't be charged with MURDER for killing anything else.
You can be charged with murder for not killing anyone at all.
The Elkhart Four and the Unjust Application of the Felony Murder Rule on Teens | HuffPost

Let me make it easier for you: the law can assign whatever punishment it wants for whatever crime it chooses via a "see section X for punishment." You were talking about the "legal dictionary" in the "legal dictionary." One that defines a natural person. You have provided neither here. Instead, you linked to a law that doesn't even define a person. You then use faulty reasoning to conclude that the assignment of a murder charge to a person requires that person to kill a person, which is also false, as I demonstrated.

It's time to put up or shut up. Post your legal definition from the legal dictionary that proves your point or shut the hell up.

Another question that's bothering me is this: your reasoning is that a fetus is a natural person because one can be charged with murder for killing it. But that law also says that you canNOT be charged for murder if the mother (or someone authorized to act on her behalf) gives consent to an abortion. If we apply your reasoning all the way (I'm not saying I agree with your reasoning, by the way), the most reasonable conclusion seems to be that a fetus is only a natural person when the mother has NOT given consent to have it aborted. If the mother DOES give consent for abortion, the fetus is NOT a natural person. Of course, we all know why you don't make that conclusion: because you're an unreasonable fool driven by an agenda, but too incompetent to support that agenda.

What constitutional text would it violate to result in the death of a fetus by not allowing it to suck your blood/nutrients?

Then he can refer to those who legally got an abortion and are NOT in prison, a group far, FAR more numerous than the one that's in jail.

You're the one dealing with hypotheticals. Using your own reasoning, if murder is what's given for killing a natural person, then obviously the legal definition of a natural human does NOT include a fetus that a mother consents to abort.

Try paying attention, Sparky. This thread is about our fetal Homicide laws and the Constitutionality thereof. It may play into the abortion debate eventually but it can also be debated on its own.

Exactly.

Laws are presumed to be Constitutional until the courts rule otherwise.

The thread premise is attempting – and failing – to advance the ‘argument’ that because fetal ‘homicide’ laws seek to punish those who cause the death of a fetus are subject to criminal prosecution, then abortion should likewise be rendered illegal.

This ‘argument’ fails as a false comparison fallacy.

Fetal ‘homicide’ laws protect the right of the mother to decide the outcome of her pregnancy, should she either wish to terminate the pregnancy or carry it to term.

Indeed, such laws have provisions which exclude lawful abortions from the scope of the law, as we see in this measure from Colorado:

“For purposes of a prosecution of a homicide or assault offense, the bill does not apply to:

An act committed by the mother of her unborn child;

A medical procedure performed by a physician or other

licensed medical professional at the request of a mother of

her unborn child or the mother's legal guardian; or

The lawful dispensation or administration of lawfully

prescribed medication.”

So many Sparkys, so little time.

Under this and many other fetal HOMICIDE laws, The charge for killing a "child in the womb" in a criminal act is MURDER.

Here is the question leftardz like yourself will not give a straight forward answer to.. "what does the charge of MURDER say about the personhood status of the victim killed?"

Exactly.

Laws are presumed to be Constitutional until the courts rule otherwise.

The thread premise is attempting – and failing – to advance the ‘argument’ that because fetal ‘homicide’ laws seek to punish those who cause the death of a fetus are subject to criminal prosecution, then abortion should likewise be rendered illegal.

This ‘argument’ fails as a false comparison fallacy.

Fetal ‘homicide’ laws protect the right of the mother to decide the outcome of her pregnancy, should she either wish to terminate the pregnancy or carry it to term.

Indeed, such laws have provisions which exclude lawful abortions from the scope of the law, as we see in this measure from Colorado:

“For purposes of a prosecution of a homicide or assault offense, the bill does not apply to:

An act committed by the mother of her unborn child;

A medical procedure performed by a physician or other

licensed medical professional at the request of a mother of

her unborn child or the mother's legal guardian; or

The lawful dispensation or administration of lawfully

prescribed medication.”

So many Sparkys, so little time.

Under this and many other fetal HOMICIDE laws, The charge for killing a "child in the womb" in a criminal act is MURDER.

Here is the question leftardz like yourself will not give a straight forward answer to.. "what does the charge of MURDER say about the personhood status of the victim killed?"
It's been answered already, dumbass. You ignored it.
