For many of us conservatives there is no question as to where we stand on the rights of the unborn. While the current line of thought is that a woman has a constitutional right to chose, it is not supported by most of us. In fact there is no real constitutional basis to found anywhere in our most revered document. I do certainly not support it.
Those that support abortion call themselves Pro-choice, but I see it as pro-abortion. Many are the times that I hear and see these proponents shout loudly about how their rights are being violated. However, what about the rights of the unborn child.
Until recently, this area has been ill defined. However, that may change as there is a bill in congress as of this writing numbered H.R.4157 that is called the Sanctity of Human Life Act. This act defines when life begins be it through "fertilization, cloning or any equvilent."
There are also similar bills in various state legislatures that are being presented to the public. Most are still in the pending stage, although one has been placed on the ballot in this election coming November. One did not pass through the pending stage and one is still in the presentation stage.
I am pleased to see that the American people still believe that life begins in the womb. A child is not just a bunch of protoplasm lumped together as some on the left would have you believe. By now most people have seen the sonograms of a child in the womb. The technology that has come forward over the last couple of decades have progressed to such a point that the 3-D images we now see really bring the fact that a life is living within the body of a woman.
