[Vision2020] One More "Killer" Released Because of DNA

[nickgier at adelphia.net]

Greetings:

Under our laws the crime of murder can happen only against moral and legal persons.  Our religious, moral, and legal tradition does not recognize first and second trimester fetuses as persons.  Once again I provide the link for my essay on abortion: www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/abortion.htm.

Fetuses are of course unique living beings from conception on, but so are thousands of other animal species.  As a vegetarian I'm quite willing to shift to a consistent pro-life position, but I believe that most people are not willing to do this.  The moral ball is in their court, and it's their serve.

Veggie Burgers Forever!

Nick, I was heartened to see you change your mind with regard to abortion. You are absolutely correct that the state should not be in the business of premeditated murder, especially in the case of those who are innocent in EVERY case. It is such a joy to see reason and compassion prevail. Best,   -T -
