What you said is not factually accurate. Right now the voters do not have a say. It doesn't matter if a pro-life abortion ban passes either by a state's representatives or directly through a ballot initiative. The law will not stand. So the voters clearly have no say. Also By ban I mean... -

Of course I can see why people would disagree with me. I would say since there is so much disagreement the voters should be empowered to have a say. -

Okay. I'm not saying you have to agree. But can't you see why some people would not be comfortable saying it should be legal to kill homo sapiens based on their location. -

I don't really like the way you put your argument. It seems like you are saying fetuses don't have rights because that is what the law says. The law is mutable and changes. For instance if someone in the US about 200 years ago could say that balck people are only 3/5ths of a person because... -

So to be a person you have to be born and a member of the species homo sapiens? I'm guessing that means that you think homo sapiens that have not been born yet are not persons so they have no personhood correct. -

How do you personally define person and personhood? A definition would be helpful in understanding your argument.
