What about the mother person? Did she say, I want to get pregnant? Where
are her rights. And this potental person, when is it a person? At
conception? At 2 cells? 4 cells? 16 cells? 256 cells?, 65636 cells?
4,294,967,296 cells?

If at conception, then why aren't you worried about all the potential
lives being lost through wet dreams, and menstruation? Understand that
we are in a world with rapidly diminishing resources, especially
diminishing resources per capita. What if the government said, "Greg, we
can only support so many people, and for the good of society, we think
you should be sterilized"?

Your body, your decision?

Ayn Rand would be proud. And, if you were rescued after some died of
hunger, you may be tried for murder.

Not many of us left ;O)

The state makes the demand. The state takes some responsibility.

Otherwise, it's the woman's body, and the woman's choice. If the woman
makes a timely, request for an abortion, she is accepting
responsibility. If the state thinks that they have a dog in this fight,
then the state needs to take some responsibility, for the good of
everyone.

It's gotten to the point now, ya know, that they can make a stem cell
from nearly any cell in your body. Any scraped skin you leave behind,
could be viewed as a potential human being, and it will get more
complicated as the revolution in biology gets going.

There are going to be tears and anguish, but the law should be;
your body, your choice.

It's important to remember that US citizens and legal aliens can never
be charged with being in the country illegally. That's a big
difference. However, illegal aliens are entitled to due process, like
every citizen. In this case, due process is defined as an
administrative procedure that entitles the person with an opportunity
to prove that he/she is in the country legally. If this can't be
done, the person can be deported immediately.

Bottom line, if you're an illegal alien you have the right to prove
that you're not an illegal alien. That's about it.
