Reply #3: Hmm..well, now what would this mean for immigrants?

Suppose...oh, some "illegal" alien, you know, from one of those places that conservatives like to demonize...drops into the U.S. and "conceives" a "child". . .if declared a "person," does this mean that unborn child also becomes an automatic American citizen even if the mother is deported prior to the actual birth? Ohhhh...this can become VERY fun. . .hahaha.

It amazes me that conservatives, in particular MALE conservatives, are determined that a woman is incapable of protecting her fetus and is unwilling to care for one. It is also amazing that these same conservatives, who demand blanket laws be passed to punish ONE gender, even if...say....five women out of 100,000 actually choose to have an abortion - yet these same conservatives would never allow laws to be passed restricting recognition of their cults (churches) after they commit criminal activities or commit heinous sins. So this is right back to the old controlling thang - the obsessive need among the arrogant elitists that they alone can determine for ALL others what is moral, and any means of tyranny is just fine if it accomplishes their goal.

So why don't we EVER put any initiatives on the ballot to let ALL the people vote on wingnut rights? Why can't they ever be the target for the tyranny of the majority?
