Definition of Person
Definition of Person☜Central to the debate about abortion is the question of what defines a person. Often, the point of stasis in this debate involves the moment that a persons life begins and when their rights as such should be recognized by society.☜FFB597

Legal Definition - A Person is a Human Being »
Legal Definition - A Person is a Human Being
Legal Definition - A Person is a Human Being ☜The legal definition for a Natural Person is simply a human being. This definition is supported by the legal definitions contained in recent Fetal Homicide laws that define a child in the womb in any stage of development as a Human Being. These laws already make it a crime of murder to intentionally kill a child in the womb in a criminal act. ☜9FDEF6

Basic Human Rights are Inherent and Automatic
Basic Human Rights are Inherent and Automatic☜Basic human rights are not granted to or afforded to individuals by society. According to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, The U.S. and other Constitutions, etc.. . All persons are automatically entitled to the EQUAL protections of our laws, regardless of race, sex, gender, religion or age. Simply by being a human being / person. ☜EF597B

This is circular and unhelpful »
This is circular and unhelpful
This is circular and unhelpful☜The purpose of the debate is to determine what the law ought to be. An appeal to the law is attempting to justify the law on the basis that it is the law. This could equally well be used to justify any law, as if the law where changed, that, then, would be what the law was.☜EF597B

Current laws and legal definitions are not irrelevant »
Current laws and legal definitions are not irrelevant
Current laws and legal definitions are not irrelevant☜The abortion debate is not only about what should & should not be. The debate is also about what our existing laws say, what the original intent was and how those laws & legal definitions should be applied today. Laws and legal definitions are the result of lengthy debates by the lawmakers involved. It is very irresponsible to hold the belief that a winning idea argued by our law makers become less relevant or even dismissive - once those ideas are established in a legal definition or law.☜FFFACD
