I've noticed something has changed about the abortion debate on DP

You are wrong. The embryo may not have rights as a person but the 22 week and beyond certainly does. If anybody but a doctor, intentionally kills the unborn, they can go to prison for murder. That is a right to life that the state protects. It may be limited but it cannot be denied.
Please source any authority that recognizes rights for the unborn. Quote that specifically, because I get tired of the attempts to post things they believe 'imply' the unborn have rights.
 
Gore won. Not theoretically, not imaginally. He actually won Fl., and therefore the Presidency.

And Goresuch was Obama's stolen pick.
Gore lost and conceded the election. Gorsuch was nominated by Trump. Every justice went through the same process and now serves legitimately.
 
Of course it's human. It is an undeveloped human but it is--and can be--nothing less than human. The fetus has all the DNA of a human. Never in the history of the world has a woman ever conceived nor given birth to anything other than a human child.
It's not yet a human being. It will be in time. But not during gestation.
If the fetus was not alive then there would be no issue here. It is an issue specifically because it is alive.
Depends on how one defines "alive." Some think it's conception. Some think it's "first breath." While a cell is "alive," it is not a human being or person. Merely a human cell.
That a fetus is alive is an unavoidable fact.
And an irrelevant one.
If it's alive then it's a person and as already demonstrated the fetus is most certainly alive.
See previous statement. Some people sure are hung up on the notion of "life" or "alive."
 
It's paraphrased. THey've been posting videos of him saying over and over. He intentionally implied it during confirmation.

Dont lie just for the convenience of your argument.
You are making shite up, as you so often do. It was never (ever) implied.

No candidate to the court, left or right, would ever be so foolish as to say that.
 
Ya know, not having a sense of humor might be a sign of that.
There's a time and a place where humor is appropriate. But what I pointed out in your post, is what I would call goading.

It was absolutely implied and that's why they're being quoted and video-outed everywhere. Your denial is hilarious.

And that's right...they didnt give definite statements. Look up the word 'imply.

Then you won't have a problem sourcing it. I've never seen a justice swear that they would never overturn precedent. The whole point of the Supreme Court is to be able to do just that. They would say that they respect precedent and give it the proper respect it deserves. But, no nominee would be stupid enough to say that.

I've written twice none did. Why do you post that lie again? Why do you think I keep using the word 'imply?' And why do they keep posting their nomination quotes and video of them implying it?

That's not the whole point. They can do it but they develop opinions based on precedents for reasons and they clearly explain why those precedents apply. And if a different bench decides precedents dont hold up to scrutiny...they other issues and decisions also come under scrutiny.

I would have thought you wouldnt need this explained to you. Or maybe you're just using a cheap tactic to avoid admitting your argument re: their statements during nomination fails. IMO, start with a dictionary. For 'imply.'
ut, no nominee would be stupid enough to say that.

Why not repeat that lie again? In your next post? Because I've never written that and you cant quote where I did.

Edit: Hmmm. Your comments are so similar to another poster's failed perceptions on this that I thought you were him. My comments still stand tho.

Your answer defies basic science. A fetus has human DNA. It cannot be or become something else.

Science defines life.



And an irrelevant one.
The fact that a fetus is alive is not an "irrelevant point". It is precisely the point.
See previous statement. Some people sure are hung up on the notion of "life" or "alive."
I don't know to which statement you are referring. But, once again, life is a major point in this discussion.

DNA is just a blueprint. It's the finished product that matters. Some like to make a big fuss about "life" or DNA, but completely ignore the fact that the unborn is not yet a person with rights, cannot survive outside the womb before viability, or that the woman gestating the fetus is an already born, human individual with rights which is paramount. Trying to focus on "life" or DNA and such is just an attempted to sway emotions.
