You have presented an excellent case" He did not present ANY case for the rights of the unborn. He simply said that a zygote was human life. Most of us consider human life to exist many years before conception, I can't remember how long after pregnancy it occurs (TP will probably know), but the eggs are all developed then--just like a turtle. But human life has never been the dispute. Ted Williams is full of human life--but he is dead. The dispute is over WHEN human life becomes a human person--more specifically...a LEGAL person. We pull the plug on the human right to live all the time when we encounter a brain dead patient. WHY? Because human life is more than chemicals--DON'T YOU THINK?? We could keep Ted Williams alive as "human life" for a million years (if our species can survive)--so WHAT? Let us look at Canada for a moment: a rational Nation--we have sacrificed far more than most (per capita) in the goal for world peace in two world wars. Our Supreme Court decided (after listening to EVERONE--including the Christian "scientists), that the woman and her fetus are considered ONE AND THE SAME. It also decided that the father had no say. And it recognized that no fetus has a "right" to be born. You see: "Forcing a woman," wrote the Chief Justice, Brian Dickson, "by threat of criminal sanction to carry a foetus to term unless she meets certain criteria unrelated to her own priorities and aspirations, is a profound interference with a woman's body and this a violation of her security of the person." To shorten the explanation: Both Canada and the U.S. have outlawed slavery. Nuff said. A person's body is their own.
