Not a Buchanan supporter by ANY extreme stretch. But just curious. Where do you make up -- er, find, your statistics?

TW, you are of the 20% that are not, Buchanan and his people are of the 80% that are.

I disagree. I don't think the fact that I am not a bigot puts me in some small minority of pro-lifers. I don't think I even personally know a bigoted pro-lifer although I am sure they exist. I don't think even Buchanan is actually bigioted. nationalistic yes, but despite my dislike for his politics I see little evidence of outright bigotry. Of course I don't actually know him, maybe he hides it most of the time. In any case I don't think the majority of pro-lifers share all of Buchanan's other ideas.

As for the essence of the question, if being born implies the right of citizenship, during the prebirth period the fetus is a person?

The constitution does not say that someone is a citzen if there life starts in the US. It says if they are born in the US. If there life starts before they are born while they are in the US but they are later born elsewhere they are not entitled to citizenship.

"Exactly why Mr. Nader is
bent on doing all he can --
whether or not intended --
to deliver us into the grip
of another, more

government still leaves me
dumbfounded." — Al Gore
advisor Reed Hundt stresses
that a vote for Nader is a vote
for Bush.
