Comments
Bearing Drift supports the 'personhood' amendment. We believe that life begins at conception and that this life should be protected.
To change the legal definition of person is dangerous. At what point does an unborn child become an unborn child. I believe life starts in the womb, but how will this definition of personhood change liability outside of abortion. These are important questions that need to be addressed.
Will Virginia add a "Fetus" to their health insurance pool? Is the usage of a condom pre meditated murder? How about birth control pills, do you consider the useage of those pre meditated murder?If life begins a conception any means to prevent that life would be murder. . .This bill is ludicrous.
