I’ve said it several times before, Peter - you have an amazingly good legal mind and would have made an excellent jurist. Thank you for clarifying the legal and Constitutional aspects regarding this issue.
This issue, and the abortion issue, are not going to be resolved until medical science can establish the exact moment when the soul enters the body of a fetus, thus creating a separate person. Is it at the moment of conception, or at first heartbeat, or at the moment of birth and first breath? No one can scientifically say. And that’s a big problem because the medical establishment doesn’t acknowledge the existence of a ‘soul’. They say that they’ve looked for one in the anatomy of a person but have not found one. (They gloss over the fact that if the soul was in any way composed of matter, it would not survive death and be immortal.) So the question is medically unresolved, and they are unlikely to pursue it because it would challenge their entire medical mindset of the person being nothing more than a collection of cells and ‘parts’.
