Bush Nominates First-Trimester Fetus to the Supreme Court

“With its precocious intelligence and adorable pocket size, the fetus could very well prove to be the moderate ‘consensus candidate’ many on Capitol Hill have hoped for,” said attorney, author, and Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz. “And with its confirmation to a lifetime appointment on the bench, Bush ensures that his presidential legacy will last until about 2089.”

This is one nominee that I could really support.

What is the point of ridiculing the unborn child? It is to dehumanize her, so that those who favor the license to kill her without cause might reassure themselves that what they are doing is not wrong. If thought about carefully, however, it has the opposite effect.

Why do you called an unborn child “her”? And why do you insist on playing “Mother, what mother?”

Dan is obviously missing a few points. But is it worth the argument?

Antigone and Anne:

I used “her” in deference to political correctness — there is no reason to assume that the unborn child is a he. Feminists are fond of using “her” when what is being referred to are persons of both genders. Traditionally the default mode was to say “he.”

It does not devalue a mother to value her child. Why do you insist on pitting mothers against their unborn children?

Anne, what points am I missing? The argument is very worth it. Abortion is the number one civil rights issue of our generation.
