All Quarked Up

 Day 1: fertilization: all human chromosomes are present; unique human life begins. Day 6: embryo begins implantation in the uterus.

Live and let live.</I> We tried that. With gays, we were told before same sex "marriage" became the law of the land "if you don't want to have a same sex marriage, just down't have one!" Now that it is the law of the land, we're told "you can not be in the wedding business unless you do same sex marriages, bigot!" As for trans, if they kept it to themselves,<b> then</b> their lives have nothing to do with ours. But instead they become teachers and force it on their students, their "allies" force it on their students (who are<b> our</b> kids), they demand that men with penises be allowed to dominate "women's" sports and invade women's private places (like spas). Completely terminate the ...

From the document (does anyone have an OCR'd version?): Although a pre-quickening abortion was not itself considered homicide, it does not follow that abortion was permissible  at common law--much less that abortion was a legal right.  Quite to the contrary, in the 1732 case mentioned above, the judge said of the charge of abortion (with no mention of quickening) that he had "never met with a case so barbarous and unnatural."  Similarly, an indictment from 1602, which did not distinguish between a pre-quickening a post-quickening abortion , described abortion as "pernicious" and "against the peace of our Lady the Queen, her crown and dignity." That the common law did not condone even pre-quickening abortions is confirmed by what one might call a proto-felony-murder rule.   Hale and Blackstone described a way in which a pre-quickening abortion could rise to the level of a homicide .  Hale wrote that if a physician gave a woman "with child" a ...

How dare they? How dare they tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body? How dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? How dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms?" </I> Biden Administration Covid mandates forcing military and health care workers to be fired if they refuse to follow a government order to have a potentially dangerous substance injected into their bodies against their wills State "vaccine passport" requirements blocking people from going out and having a life unless they do the same.

It's about thinking, rather than emoting and bullying. <I>When you impugn stare decisis as a "mantra," you call for more analysis and criticism and less passive obeisance to authority. I would say that's inconsistent with a demand that we accept the outcomes handed down by the Court from on high. That too is obeisance.</I> That's not what he's doing.  he's saying "stop throwing temper tantrums when you don't get your way, and engage rationally with the opposition."

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abortion-quandary/ You have to go down a long way to get to the important numbers When, exactly, during a pregnancy should abortion be legal, and at what point should it become illegal? To help answer this question, the survey posed follow-up queries about three periods: six weeks (when cardiac activity – sometimes called a fetal heartbeat – can be detected), 14 weeks (roughly the end of the first trimester), and 24 weeks (near the end of the second trimester). The survey data shows that as pregnancy progresses, opposition to legal abortion grows and support for legal abortion declines. Americans are about twice as likely to say abortion should be legal at six weeks than to say it should be illegal at this stage of a pregnancy: 44% of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal at six weeks (including those who say it should be legal in all cases without exception), 21% say it should be illegal at six weeks (including those wh...
