I'm against the expansion of powers at the federal level, and this is included. However, I do think the US Congress could do one thing to regulate abortion, although it would have to be carefully worded. The one thing is to determine that a fetus is a person at X week. This would grant them the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in as much as a toddler has same. After X week, depriving them of life should require a legal review (for cases, of rape, incest, or life of the mother).<br /><br />I think the most important part of this discussion is two fold. What progressive eugenic fans claim are far right wing religious fanatics have decided that humanity no longer begins at conception. This moves the decision out to viability, which is really after 20 weeks, but with current science (and isn't current science arguments used to allow all sorts of other things?) that can be as low as 22 weeks and more often 28 weeks. And this movement from conception to 20 weeks means abortion is lawful and ubiquitous for anyone woman prior to 20 weeks. Further, these uncaring religious zealots have put into the law the decried exceptions for life of the mother, rape and incest after 20 weeks. This is important because the progressive eugenics have not moved an inch from their argument that abortion should be legal up to the "breath of life", which has absolutely no scientific merit. You might as well claim abortion is legal up until the umbilical cord is severed, because life began along time before using the lungs.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.com
