To rule that 'personhood' starts at conception.

Answer 1

100% for it! My oldest son is the result of a rape. He has everyright to be here, regardless of the method that brought him into being. Women have all of the rights and the father has none, it is unfair and unequal. If a woman wants to keep a child and the father does not, the father must still pay for that child for 18 YEARS, yet if the father wants to keep the child and the mother does not, she doesn't haven't to carry the child for 9 MONTHS in order for the father to be able to exercise his rights to the child? That doesn;t quite seem right to me. Does it seem right to you?

Answer 2

Not really a religious question.

This is exactly how a representative government should work. Bring the issue to the ballot box. Let the voters decide. Too long has the issue of abortion been under the control of a few unelected "justices" twisting the words of the Constitution to impose their morality on the masses whom they strike down time after time going against the will of the people. If one state's people want abortion and another doesn't. Let them decide each their own fate.

Let's keep the feds out of our morality. Let them focus on issues not inside but in between states.

Answer 3

I disagree. I am all for the rights of the mother and the unborn, but until the mother gives birth, it is just another living part of the mother. (There are hundreds of different living things in our bodies that can be considered "independant")

If not, than why don't we celebrate "Conception Day" rather than our birthdays?

Answer 4

I think it is about time.
I saw a woman with Alzheimers last night at Walmart, holding a babydoll, it was clear she was unable to speak for herself.
With the reasoning of abortion her life should be terminated as she is clearly unable to speak on her own behalf concerning her personhood. Is there really any difference?

Answer 5

Morally I approve, but legally no. My view is that Society needs to change its emphasis on abortion as a form of birth control and to teach people to take responsibility for sex.

To me, being focused on abortion obscures the real issues that need to be dealt with.

Answer 6

What a joke.

So who will fill out all the death reports for all those eggs that fail to implant?

If a woman has a miscarriage, will she be charged with child neglect and possibly manslaughter?

This is just a poorly disguised attempt to make abortion illegal.

Answer 7

Abortion will happen whether it's legal or not. People will go to another state or in the worst case goto an unlicensed, unregulated backroom clinic where the danger to the woman will be great.
You can't legislate morality.

Answer 8

I think it's an attempt to unnecessarily interfere with people's freedom of choice.

Answer 9

WONDERFUL!!! UNBORN ARE HUMANS!!!!


Week 4: The embryonic period begins
The fourth week marks the beginning of the embryonic period, when the baby's brain, spinal cord, heart and other organs begin to form. Your baby is now 1/25 of an inch long.

The embryo is now made of three layers. The top layer - the ectoderm - will give rise to a groove along the midline of your baby's body. This will become the neural tube, where your baby's brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves and backbone will develop.

Your baby's heart and a primitive circulatory system will form in the middle layer of cells - the mesoderm. This layer of cells will also serve as the foundation for your baby's bones, muscles, kidneys and much of the reproductive system.

The inner layer of cells - the endoderm - will become a simple tube lined with mucous membranes. Your baby's lungs, intestines and bladder will develop here.

Week 5: Baby's heart begins to beat
Your baby at week five (three weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At week five, your baby is 1/17 of an inch long - about the size of the tip of a pen.

This week, your baby's heart and circulatory system are taking shape. Your baby's blood vessels will complete a circuit, and his or her heart will begin to beat. Although you won't be able to hear it yet, the motion of your baby's beating heart may be detected with an ultrasound exam.

With these changes, blood circulation begins - making the circulatory system the first functioning organ system.

Week 6: The neural tube closes
Your baby at week six (four weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Growth is rapid this week. Just four weeks after conception, your baby is about 1/8 of an inch long. The neural tube along your baby's back is now closed, and your baby's heart is beating with a regular rhythm.

Basic facial features will begin to appear, including an opening for the mouth and passageways that will make up the inner ear. The digestive and respiratory systems begin to form as well.

Small blocks of tissue that will form your baby's connective tissue, ribs and muscles are developing along your baby's midline. Small buds will soon grow into arms and legs.

Week 7: The umbilical cord appears
Your baby at week seven (five weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seven weeks into your pregnancy, your baby is 1/3 of an inch long - a little bigger than the top of a pencil eraser. He or she weighs less than an aspirin tablet.

The umbilical cord - the link between your baby and the placenta - is now clearly visible. The cavities and passages needed to circulate spinal fluid in your baby's brain have formed, but your baby's skull is still transparent.

The arm bud that sprouted last week now resembles a tiny paddle. Your baby's face takes on more definition this week, as a mouth perforation, tiny nostrils and ear indentations become visible.

Week 8: Baby's fingers and toes form
Eight weeks into your pregnancy, your baby is just over 1/2 of an inch long.

Your baby will develop webbed fingers and toes this week. Wrists, elbows and ankles are clearly visible, and your baby's eyelids are beginning to form. The ears, upper lip and tip of the nose also become recognizable.

As your baby's heart becomes more fully developed, it will pump at 150 beats a minute - about twice the usual adult rate.

Week 9: Movement begins
Your baby at week nine (seven weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your baby is now nearly 1 inch long and weighs a bit less than 1/8 of an ounce. The embryonic tail at the bottom of your baby's spinal cord is shrinking, helping him or her look less like a tadpole and more like a developing person.

Your baby's head - which is nearly half the size of his or her entire body - is now tucked down onto the chest. Nipples and hair follicles begin to form. Your baby's pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder and anus are in place. The internal reproductive organs, such as testes or ovaries, start to develop.

Your baby may begin moving this week, but you won't be able to feel it for quite a while yet.

Week 10: Neurons multiply
Your baby at week 10 (eight weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By now, your baby's vital organs have a solid foundation. The embryonic tail has disappeared completely, and your baby has fully separated fingers and toes. The bones of your baby's skeleton begin to form.

This week, your baby's brain will produce almost 250,000 new neurons every minute.

Your baby's eyelids are no longer transparent. The outer ears are starting to assume their final form, and tooth buds are forming as well. If your baby is a boy, his testes will start producing the male hormone testosterone.

Week 11: Baby's sex may be apparent
Your baby at week 11 (nine weeks after conception)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From now until your 20th week of pregnancy - the halfway mark - your baby will increase his or her weight 30 times and will about triple in length. To make sure your baby gets enough nutrients, the blood vessels in the placenta are growing larger and multiplying.

Your baby is now officially described as a fetus. Your baby's ears are moving up and to the side of the head this week. By the end of the week, your baby's external genitalia will develop into a recognizable penis or clitoris and labia majora.

Week 12: Baby's fingernails and toenails appear
Twelve weeks into your pregnancy, your baby is nearly 3 inches long and weighs about 4/5 of an ounce. Your baby's head is nearly half the size of his or her entire body.

This week marks the arrival of fingernails and toenails. Your baby's chin and nose will become more refined as well.

Answer 10

I would agree with that. At conception the unborn is uniquely human.
