YES, because a fetus is NOT a legal person. ("otherwise" doesn't count) The exception proves that the UVVA does NOT make a fetus a legal person. IF it did then women who have abortions would be charged under the UVVA... The fetus is only "protected" under the UVVA it is NOT anywhere deemed a person with rights, NO where....
Why do you want the USA to be like ISIS? Only third world hellholes, Islamic Republics and American conservatives try to ban abortion. Peas in a pod, those groups are. The anti-abortion movement only started around 1980, when the Reagan team thought it would make good politics. That's how recent your historical, biological and moral revisionism is. Prior to that, even evangelicals supported abortion rights. The modern anti-abortion philosophy is literally younger than the McDonalds Happy Meal.
Yes..before viability..before any neural connections. Do you think a zygote is the same as a toddler? Is it acorn the same as an oak tree? You seem to have a problem with the word potential
The act referred to a "child in utero " , it did not, and cannot make a fetus into a legal person. You mistake the need for the clause. It wasn't needed in reference to whether it was homicide or not....it was meant to show that it had no standing on abortion laws.. BTW, how many women who had abortions have been prosecuted under the UVVA ??? [/QUOTE] Listen very carefully, A CHILD is a PERSON. End of story.
Potential means yet to be created. A zygote, fetus, infant, toddler. Etc.... is a human being who has already been created. It is YOU who doesn’t understand the definition of the word.
OMGAWD! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SAID IT DID!!!! THAT is what I told YOU!!! Sweet JAYSUS! WTF!!! GLAD YOU FINALLY AGREE WITH ME even though you're trying so hard to make it look like YOU thought that up ! HILARIOUS!!!!!!! NO, it isn't. Even if it was, that would mean woman would have an even stronger case FOR abortion rights. BTW, how many women who had abortions have been prosecuted under the UVVA ???
If it is a child why did they call it a zygote? I suggest that you remove a zygote from a woman’s body and tell me it is a human being already. Potential is not the same as “is” again I use the analogy, it’s an acorn an oak tree
If abortion is a homicide then why has abortion been legal for 45 years? Meaning why hasn't it been overturned?
Yawn, because legality has nothing to do with homicide. The definition says nothing about legality. Educate yourself
If a fetus can be called a child then a child can be called an adult and an adult can be called a fetus and a teenager can be called a toddler and Grandma can be called baby and who needs scientific terms when we can just call anything anything and STUPIDLY think we have a POINT
Then WTF is your point ? BTW, how many women who had abortions have been prosecuted under the UVVA ???
And if you remove it from the soil..did you kill the tree? Or did you prevent it from becoming a tree?
Evidently you don't know what 'homicide' means....'the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another; murder.'
All murder is unlawful according to the Ten Commandments which is what the people of the US claim their system is based upon.
