[Vision2020] Sali Seeks to Delay Mexican Consulate

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,
   
  I don't think a baby can be guilty of a crime, and I wasn't insinuating that. Keely knows that, and it was either a joke, or she was being intellectually dishonest. 
   
  My point was she was offended by the use of a word to describe a baby to illustrate a context, I was demonstrating the point that liberals do that same thing using the term fetus when they want to abort it, and baby when they don't. 
   
  Best Regards,
   
  Donovan

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?
