The Constitution protects the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, to us and our posterity.
To pose a question:
If it is considered a double-homicide to kill a pregnant woman, why then, do some states disregard this human life in the case of an abortion?

Good point, but this is America, and the American constitution protects our "posterity" and grants its rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To bring other countries into this argument is rather irrelevant, because this argument is focused on American politics -- this is an American political website.
A fetus cannot survive independently. However, neither can my great grandma who is on life support. If we were to shut off her lif… Read more
