Comments
Interestingly, this bill would seem to be inapplicable to any genetically malformed fetus, since Marshall's bill applies to:
This is medically and clinically untenable not to mention morally. Why do men in the State legislature feel they can pass laws that impinge on women's bodies?
Wouldn’t a tumor qualify as an “organism … who possesses a genome specific for and consistent with a member of the species Homo sapiens�
So when will I be able to claim an unborn fetus on your taxes?
Anne Haynes writes: "...pass laws that impinge on women's bodies?" This law concerns the fetus's body, not the woman's.
Patrick - an organism is defined as "a living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently." A tumor can't do that.
Clearly, it concerns both. Otherwise a woman could make an appointment for a checkup on her fetus and have a friend take it for her.
I wish all states had this. It's called Love of neighbor. Thou shalt not kill!!
Unborn children deserve to be protected just as born children. Women that want to murder their unborn children are no different than women that murder their born children.
Rev writes: "Women that want to murder their unborn children are no different than women that murder their born children."
I can only conclude that you think the punishment for killing one's unborn child should be the same as killing a born child. Killing a born child usually gets a person life in prison or the death penalty. If the "triggerman" rule is rescinded I guess that would mean the woman, the doc, assistants and all the accomplices would be subject to the same sentence. Oh, and don't forget the get away driver.
Do I have your views about right? If not how would you punish these suspects?
I'm with the rev. as you characterized his views, legge. this bill + triggerman repeal = deserved punishment for all involved in abortions. this bill should be named the Personal Accountability Act.
Bob Marshall is my kind of statesman.
i think those fetos should have the right to live what if your mom told you that she was thinking of aborting you how would you feel probably mad right thats what i thought anyways if you aborted you have already broke one of the rules of GOD which is NO ONE SHALL KILL and by aborting you just killed a person.
