Look, the main criticism Ron Paul is facing among the GOP is his foreign policy. We all know it's being disingenuously called "isolationism" and we all know that "non-intervention" is it's true name. If Paul is going to overcome this issue, he is going to have to take a different approach than...

Interesting. Very sound logic. This of course means removal and not termination of life. I have a difficult time with this on a personal level, but it does seem legally sound. Some questions about 42 USC 1395) do come to mind, however. I wonder how this would apply in terms of hospitals...

Marriage is a religious institution, and the government should not recognize, regulate, or establish laws based on religious beliefs- "Marriage" is a religious institution. If you want to marry someone under God, you have the right to do so provided you can find a church to perform that...

"Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011" is the name of the bill. http://www.wbur.org/npr/139875599/child-pornography-bill-makes-privacy-experts-skittish The bill would require Internet Service Providers to store your I.P. address and data, and have it available for a...

http://www.cdt.org/press_hit/child-pornography-bill-makes-privacy-experts-skittish "Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011" is the name of the bill. I implore Ron Paul to take steps to inform the public of the deceptive name of the bill, in that it could be used to...

If a literal reading does not suffice to understand the words of the Constitution, how is it that you expect to understand the additional words of the Founders? Perhaps we should with equal arbitrary effort examine their early lives and presume to understand their collective intent... The fact...

I do not find it satisfactory. You leave too many questions, with such an oversimplified definition, that appears to be based more on your emotional analysis of the issue and not biological or medical science. You, saying that a sperm does not have the potential of human life, because it is...

Anything that meets the defined criteria is relevant. The fact remains that you have not provided a definition that establishes a "person" that does not apply to many things beside what you intend to attach it to. ...and good night.

Or perhaps you meant something different than what you say. Nonetheless, I quoted one word, I believe was in perfect context... unless of course, you are now saying that you did not mean that the words should be defined by the accepted definitions at the time they were written. It's your job to...

First of all, I did not mention cancer in the post you are responding to, so try to keep up. Secondly, you completely ignore that more than one sperm can join with an egg, becoming a zygote, and those two sperm can develop into two bodies with only one brain. You are avoiding the fact that we...

I disagree. Yes, we need to apply the definitions of the words in their context, or "time" as you put it, but that is the end of it. An example is blacks are persons, and the Constitution grants explicit rights to persons. Of course, many Founders probably had no intention of granting rights...

This is a discussion of law. Legal determination is the subject. So far, you have given no example of differentiation between one human cell and any other.

A zygote potentially, but not always "eventually grows to be an adult human". A sperm and egg, separate in their own existence also share the same potential to become a person.

First of all, I did not mention the 3rd trimester. Perhaps you should read the original post. There is no doubt a "person" has constitutional rights. It is the role of the government to determine personhood, which is a requirement that must be met to be afforded and entitled to rights.

Look, the Constitution is like a blueprint, or engineering design. It does not matter if an architect or engineer intends to design an airport but instead designs a train station. Truly, what the Founders, or any other person intended is not what is important. All the people that played a role...
