This thread has grown puzzling.  First, because I am mystified by
Keey's objection to the use of the word "spawn."  I consider it nearly
synonymous with the word "offspring," both of  which I have used to
refer to my own children, with no derogatory intent.  I also refer to
my brothers and sisters as "siblings," and to my wife, occasionally,
as "spouse."

Donovan, I THINK this diversion occurred because of your fractured sentence:

"If someone born here is born here in the commission of a crime
against the country, I don't think you can argue that always
necessarily entitles automatic citizenship."

Keely playfully pointed out the infants cannot be guilty of committing
any crime.  I think that this should be uncontroversial.

So why the abortion hijack?  The obvious answer  to your question --
obvious to this liberal, anyway -- is that I call children "children"
and fetuses "fetuses."  Setting the semantic squabble aside, how is
your question a logical response to anything that has come before?
