Dear Karen then you believe that anyone in America who is not a citizen has the same right to life as an unborn child. Very clear and informative insite into your thought processes.

More telling, I think, about your thought processes than mine.

The subject Little Joe and I were discussing was the ability of natural majorities to impose themselves on minorities via the democratic process in the US. For example, there are more poor people than rich people so they could vote to make rich people give up their wealth to the poor people. Or English speaking people could vote to make English the official language. Or women could vote to make men stay home and take care of the kids.

In that context, those who can't vote, such as foreigners and fetuses, are not members of the majorities so they are not relevant to the discussion. Nothing I said has anything to do with them.

Karen
