I place importance on the truth,
Truth, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes I do.
There are a lot of constitutions out there. Given that I don't even live in Florida, I don't care what it's courts say. But to be completely transparent, even if I did live there I would disagree.
The only thing I'm doing is explaining why I think the way I do. I'm open to change my mind... But it won't change based on Authority. I don't care what any government says on the matter. I don't care what any religion says on the matter.
You want to change my mind? You have to make me believe that it's a PERSON. I'm telling you why I don't think it is. I don't care about the body. I care about the person.
The Constitution is the law of our land. You might not appreciate it as much as I do but it matters, despite BOTH of us.
The Constitution says that "
all persons" are entitled to the equal protections of our laws.
That's pretty ******* INCLUSIVE. Isn't it.
That would include ALL persons of any age, stage of development, any brain capacity, any race, sex, creed or color.
I get that you don't think even your own child is/ was a "person" while they are in the womb. But they ARE.
It's why you can be convicted of MURDER for killing a "child in the womb" during a criminal act, per our Nations more than 30 Fetal HOMICIDE laws.
The legal definition for a "Natural Person" is simply "a human being" and or the BODY of a "human being."
I didn't write the definitions. The laws, or the Constitution.
My logic to conclude that a "child in the womb" is a "person" does not come from those laws or from the Constitution. However, those things DO support my conclusion.
My own personal logic is very simple.
I am a person.
You are a person.
I was conceived by my biological parents and YOU were conceived by YOUR biological parents.
I was once in the Zygote, embryo and fetal stages of MY life and YOU were in those stages in YOUR life.
It is illogical and unscientific to conclude otherwise.
