"The reasoned position at which a creature with human dna becomes a LEGAL PERSON is at the point which it has inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

"So called "pro-life" people (what a misnomer) have their entire answer in [blah blah blah] And don't impose your superstitious beliefs [blah blah blah]" "Laws exist to interpret, judge, and enforce. I would love to hear of a hypothetical where actual rights were in conflict. But I never have."
