In response to POST rvdfvsh.23.11.28
#487 please take note Saint Redfish that I used the term “liberal” to define “Western Liberal Civilization” in my POST nf.23.11.28
#485 .
Therefore I have acknowledged the practical knowledge that the American founding generation has everything to do with founding Western Liberal Civilization as we know it.
And that founding generation “accepted” that women found ways to end gestation when they figured out they were pregnant. Inducing an abortion was not a crime. There was no Catholic hysteria over the life of Baby Fetus because there were barely any Catholics in the white Protestant Colonies and colonial institutions.
And English Common Law on permissible abortion prior to quickening was the accepted civil society norm, and I produced the following historical fact to prove it. MAGA must ignore such realities I have come to learn.
My POST nf.23.04.25
#11,963 makes it clear the Framers gave we Americans “personhood” at birth and not the Catholic “personhood” at conception. Besides, the latter is an absurd idea anyway.
NotfooledbyW cited: The born alive rule was originally a principle at
common law in England that was carried to the United States and other former colonies of the British Empire. First formulated by
William Staunford, it was later set down by
Edward Coke in his
Institutes of the Laws of England. It follows the language used for cases of
murder in English law, identifying three salient characteristics: a reasonable creature, in rerum natura (in natural being), and in the
King's peace.
[2] Coke says: "If a woman be quick with childe, and by a potion or otherwise killeth it in her wombe, or if a man beat her, whereby the child dyeth in her body, and she is delivered of a dead childe, this is great
misprision, and no murder; but if he childe be born alive and dyeth of the potion, battery, or other cause, this is murder; for in law it is accounted a reasonable creature, in rerum natura, when it is born alive.
