A few days ago one of the posters on this site posted an obvious fake photo of what was probably a one month old child set in the background of a woman's vagina complete with an attached umbilical cord. It was one of those photos that the pro-life agenda is creating to get an emotional response out of their followers. It was a very sad attempt to do so. There are some states gullible enough to attempt to give certain rights to fetuses. Once that is done, they think that gives them more legal authority in the matters of abortions. It does not, it's just another ridiculous ploy / tactic of these desperate people to control all women's lives.
You go first - you're the one who keeps throwing the term around. It's nonsensical from my point of view. That's why I asked you how many there are - to pin you down to SOME kind of definition. Vague appeals to emotion don't make for productive debate.
Exactly - that's what I meant by saying they don't trump individual rights. ie states don't have the power to violate individual rights any more than the feds do.
This is a common misconception, but it's not how the Constitution is supposed to work. Read the Ninth Amendment. There's a reason it's listed before the Tenth.

No one calls an egg an " unborn bird. " They don't understand how ridiculous they sound. Even their savior, trump had the word fetus banned from use by the department of health and human services. Thinking that would change things. No it just gave us a window into what fascists want for this world. Absolute Control over the people.

We're not talking about people that actually exist, we're trying to tell you and every other so-called pro lifer that the term unborn baby is ridiculous and it is.
If unborn babies have no right to life, why then can you be charged with two murders if you kill a pregnant woman?
Scott Petersen was charged AND CONVICTED with murdering his wife and their unborn son. So basically, liberals are saying it’s OK to murder an unborn child if the mother is doing it, but not OK if someone else is doing it.
Murder is murder. You don’t adjust the charge depending on who the murderer is.
On November 12, 2004, Scott Peterson is convicted of murdering his wife Laci and their unborn son. A jury of six men and six women delivered the verdict 23 months after Laci Peterson, who was pregnant, disappeared on Christmas Eve from Modesto, California. The case captivated millions across...
And I answered you, dipshit. 'Unborn baby' is a nonsense phrase. Or, more to the point, it's a deliberately vague, yet emotionally provocative, phrase designed to avoid real debate.
If you disagree, provide your definition. Or ostrich up and stay vague.
Not at all. The general approach we have taken is to assume that newborns have very few rights, and accrue them over time as they become more and more responsible for themselves. The process starts at birth, and ends at legal adulthood.

You mentioned a rare specific case. I will mention one too. Just last month in Texas in April. Lizelle Herrera was charged with murder after she did self abortion ( I can't even imagine how alone, afraid and tortured that poor woman felt. ) And they were even considering the death penalty in this case to make an example of her because of the " egregious " new abortion ban in the state of Texas. There was such a public outcry, all charges were dropped against her. This is what happens when there is no justice to begin with. This woman could have had a supervised, clean safe abortion had the Texas law never been put into place. We're going to see more and more of these type cases and worse, wait till the death start mounting up. And I'm talking about real deaths of people that actually exist.
