As with abortion, promoters of abortifacients try to characterize a life in the womb as not really a human life, not yet an actual person. This is based on the notion of viability, referring to the ability to survive under hostile conditions. But viability has nothing to do with whether legal personhood exists, for if we follow this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, the elderly, the retarded, and the very young could not be considered legal persons at all. Our nation is founded on the notion of inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. The Founding Fathers placed the right to life at the top of the list for a reason.
Conception is a normal, natural consequence of human activity.
The safest most secure place for life to be situated is in the womb. Constitutional rights attach to the human person within that womb, and those constitutional rights are not superseded by some manufactured right to a choice. In an era where we are slowly seeing individual freedoms slip away, the ultimate oppression by the government occurs when certain human beings are classified as non-persons, and therefore they are not entitled to the full protection of the law. The truth concerning abortifacient drugs and devices needs to be exposed, and as a decent and virtuous society we must make it clear that we will not tolerate the kind of legislative maneuvering that so demeans the value of life.
