jakee 1,595 #78 April 19, 2004 QuoteI really can't imagine a good parallel here. We're talking about a tool versus a pregnant mother. Hard to draw connections. Its all about laying the ground work. Like you said, universal gun registration lays the ground work for confiscation etc. In that case how can you argue that designating a fetus as a full human being is not going to strengthen anti abortion standings. The very fact that doctors have to made exempt from this law speaks volumes. In a year or two how easy would it be to merely 'bring them in line with current legislation'?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
