There are thousands of people in nursing homes, etc. who are kept alive through artificial means. Are they viable? Sadly, some in our country would say no.

We are talking about an abortion, are we not? Why not stay within that arena, without expanding it by including false equivalencies? But in any case, the law certainly recognizes those humans that require artificial intervention.

Are we talking about abortion or are we talking about the deliberate harvesting of organs for profit?

Was he speaking to Africans, or was he speaking to the sickening lefties?

Step 1
Stop Federal funding

Step 2
Prosecute and imprison those that have violated the law

A national debate can continue to happen on abortion. It may still be allowed for decades to come. But PP needs to go down.

Does the Constitution define humanity? Everyone that doesn't live under the Constitution is not human?

So is your argument that a fetus's (which is beyond an embryonic mass of cells, and instead is a formed being with cells that serve specific cooperative functions for a single life) life doesn't matter because it's not endangered?
