similarly situated refers to one
class of persons being alike in all relevant ways to another class for purposes of a particular decision or issue.
NFBW: Fetuses are not recognized as persons by the US constitution. Slaves were considered persons by virtue of being born.
You have no argument based on that alone
HeyNorm but that reality goes from bad to worse even if you got past the personhood hurdle.

#7,180 • What is required, under the legal standing of similarly situated groups being granted equal protection under the law is that you provide evidence that a 23 week gestated fetus cannot have advanced to the point of any fetus that is of 24 weeks gestation.
NFBW: No evidence needs to be produced because all fetuses under RvW were in the same situation at 23 weeks gestation. The starting point and subsequent duration are exactly the same for all unwanted fetuses. Their mothers have 23 weeks to abort them.
HeyNorm230206-
#7,180 • If the argument is, that a 24 week gestated fetus has reached this stage, then you must prove that NO, 23 week gestated fetus could have.
NFBW: No. All fetuses are inside mothers. Under RvW No mother of an unwanted fetus is required by the government to prove the fetus she intends to abort has not reached a stage of development where it couid survive outside the womb, All unwanted fetuses are treated the same.,

#7,113 • 100,000 word essays will not change the fact that YOU awarded 24 week gestated individuals governmental protections, but will not award equal protection to a similarly situated 23 week gestated individual.
NFBW: No. I agree with RvW to limit a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy prior to the third trimester. Government protection during the third trimester is not necessary because all fetuses are inside women who intend to deliver them taking the risk of giving birt.,

#6,762 A 8 month gestated fetus is similarly situated to a newborn, as such, deserves the same rights under our laws.
NFBW: when a fetus remains inside its mother it is not recognized to possess a separate individual right to life RvW did not create personhood for a viable fetus during the third trimester. You are self-delusional in that reality.

#7,079 Didn’t forget that at all. It’s how equal protection work •••• And your back to justifying slavery. •••• If a 24 week gestated fetus is due protection, a 23 week gestated fetus that is similarly situated, deserves same
NFBW: Throughout the document, slaves are referred to as persons to underscore their humanity. As James Madison remarked during the
constitutional convention, it was “wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea that there could be property in men.” •••• The Constitution refers to slaves using three different formulations: “other persons” (
Article I, Section 2, Clause 3), “such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit” (
Article I, Section 9, Clause 1), and a “person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof” (
Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3).

#7,060 A slow developing 24 week fetus has no better chance of living outside the womb, as a quickly developing 23 week gestated fetus. Therefore the 23 week gestated fetus, by the similarly situated legal standard, must be afforded equal protections under the law.
NFBW: all fetus are inside mothers. All mothers had the right to privacy until the start of the third trimester..Some mothers keep a developing fetus with the intent of giving birth. Other mothers abort their fetuses when it’s legal . There are no abortions for convenience during the third trimester., Therefore no fetus needs or get’s protection of a right to life. They already have it

#6,995 • So, if a 23 week gestated fetus can be found that is more advanced than a 24 week, it is similarly situated and must be provided equal protection. •••• Your use of a calendar date is arbitrary as it does not provide equal protection for similarly situated individuals
HeyNorm230119-
#322 • If an 8 month gestated fetus is to be granted a right, then YOU must prove that a 7.5 month gestated fetus is not similarly situated to it. •••• If you can’t, the 7.5 month fetus must be granted the same right.
HeyNorm230129-
#6,987 • Unless you can assertion viability, which is impossible using calendar dates, it is arbitrary and still subject to the similarly situated legal precedent
HeyNorm230127-
#6,929 So, the newborn gains rights at birth, but is similarly situated to the newborn pre birth, thus extending rights pre birth.
HeyNorm230120-
#249 • To say abortion can be limited at any point, prior to birth, bestows these rights to the fetus in the first place. If you say the state can limit abortion to at 24 weeks, then the question is, why a 23 week fetus is not similarly situated to a 24 week fetus.
