No, you're conflating a person with the human body, but you know those aren't the same.
That which performs all that is proper to a thing is that thing. A human body, while not a person, is part of a person. A fetus is a human body. It is part of a new person, who has the
Constitutional right to life, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness.
Person.
That article is a bunch of rubbish. It does not clarify what a person is:
The concept of a person can be very challenging to define... Personhood is the status of being a person. (Circular reasoning!)
Nice emphasis. Please add relevance at the earliest convenience.
Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of legal abortions in America, and she was clearly a racist, and wanted to exterminate the negro population in the interests of the "fit." Abortion is a means for that achievement. 36% of all abortions in the U.S. in 2014 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.3% of the total population is Black
. For every 1,000 live births, non-Hispanic Black women had 391 abortions. Non-Hispanic White women had 120 abortions per 1,000 live births. More than 19 million Black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country. It appears she is succeeding.
Yes, eugenics was a big thing in the twenties. So?
Margaret Sanger viewed abortion as eugenics. That should disturb us. If a horrible person views abortion as eugenics, but we "good" people don't, there's obviously a disconnect.
Yet we're both well aware that it's true.
Exactly. We're both well aware that there is no proof underlying your statement. Please don't make unsubstantiated premises.

I have yet to see an argument for your claim throughout this thread.
Abortion is the intentional taking of the life of an unborn child, who has the right to live, without his consent.
Calling an individual a child carries the implication that it is a born human.
So if a baby is aborted 1 minute before it would have been born (known as Third Trimester Abortion) it isn't a human? It is the act of exiting a mother that confers humanity upon an "individual?"
Infanticide is the killing of a recently-born human (an infant or toddler).
Gov. Northam apparently does; "If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother..."
Aside from that: Infanticide is the intentional killing of infants. An infant is not conferred with infancy the moment it exists its mother's womb, is it?
what terms have you heard to refer to pro-life besides that term?
I've heard pro-lifers called "anti-choice," and "anti-abortion."
but it was a logical consequence of his view of personhood.
His view is not sane; it is not logical/sane in the sense that it did not come to a correct conclusion, rather, it is an error built upon previous errors.
@HahiHa
towards the emotional or the plain lie.
Firstly, this is an ad hominem attack on prolifers in general.
Secondly, as to emotionality, it is the pro-choicers who I see screaming and accosting pro-life senators.
Thirdly, it is not pro-lifers who stir up such terms as "
atriarchal oppression," nor is it they who dress up as characters from THe Handsmaid's Tale.
Finally, I've been to many pro-life rallys. Sometimes we've been pelted with condoms (we have a police report to prove it), a couple guys have been dragged out and hit with soap bars inside of towels (some have sustained grievious injuries); there was a case recently where a young man took a sign from an elderly pro-lifer, knocked him down, and kicked him repeatedly.
Prolifers never did that.
