(For younger Yamsters who may be unfamiliar with the term, "suffrage" means "right to vote.")

As soon as their murderous parent allows them to reach the informed age of 18, sure, let them vote.

I agree with those who point out that voting age is 18, but your question does lead to others. If every fertilized ovum is really a person, are there any other rights they might be entitled to? Who would be charged with the protection of these rights?

I disagree for only two reasons:
Although many people (including the church) believe that the embryo is a human being, they are quite aware that the embryo has not developed. And even when a baby is born, their long term memory has just barely developed.
People are fighting over people younger than 18 being able to vote because many people over 10 can think logically. There is absolutely no scientific proof that a human younger than 3 years old have logical thoughts that can lead them to make a decision as important as voting for leaders of our country.
Also, there is no way that the child can translate his wants to the mother because there aren't any.

Agree that human life starts upon fertilization of the ovum.
Disagree with embroynic suffrage because at that stage, the mother is not yet receiving signals from her ovary on whom to vote.

So you are saying a person isn't a person until they are 18.
Agree
I agree that we should protect the fertilized ovum (person) allowing it to grow up so it can vote.:)

The best example I've seen is this.
A fertilization clinic is burning down. You can only save one toddler or a tray of fertilized eggs. Which do you save?
How many people grab the tray with a 100 "so called" children and leave the toddler to die?

Well I disagree because to vote one needs to be able to read at least a little,
but I would agree to requiring little carseats for them.

considering the right to vote is a age 18, your question is really quite silly.

No one under 18 has a right to vote...so what is your point?
