So minutes before birth then, the child is still just a clump of cells in your view?
Behold the evil and depravity of the pro-abortionist. And these people believe they have the moral high ground. You sound like a nazi. “Jews aren’t people.”
Federal executions of murderers is a principle of justice and not murder. This is a false equivalency, in no way compares to murdering innocent children, and is not the debate point you think it is.
No, I support a ban on all murders of fetuses in a womans body. No one(except the government) has the constitutional right to murder someone.
Rape and incest account for few abortions, so why all the attention?No sources.
So you support the death penalty?It is the debate point that you don't like but is totally relevant to your post. I fixed your post for you.
I'm not expecting many sodomy or interracial marriage laws to spread through state legislatures but the 14th amendment wasn't meant to stop such things. Those are state issues. Nothing in the constitution grants the federal government authority to govern marriage. That's a state issue.I strongly disagree.
Abusing and neglecting your children is not part of that constitutional guarantee because it inflicts harm on another person. Protecting individuals from injury by other individuals is maybe the central role of a collective society.
Re marriage: again, no. Mildred and Richard Loving were sentenced to a year in jail for violating Virginia’s interracial marriage law. The right to interracial marriage was tethered to the constitution by the same 14th am. due process clause.
Same for John Lawrence and Texas’s sodomy law where the court expanded the right to privacy to encompass your ability to fornicate as you see fit. (Returning to the abuse and neglect examples, momentarily, nobody has seriously entertained the idea that this gives a right to commit rape.)
Even when it comes to just recognizing a marriage, what you’re really talking about is a legal status that confers certain benefits. While I’m fine with governments limiting the scope of those benefits, the government should not be in the business of denying those benefits based on immutable characteristics like race and gender anymore than it should be in the business of denying them based on religious belief.
Rape and incest account for few abortions, so why all the attention?
“Just 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest, according to the Guttmacher Institute.”

Do you wish to dispute these facts? Is it your claim that the percentages are higher? If so, how much higher? You actually believe that rape, incest, and health of the mother are a major factor in abortion? If so, prove it.
