It is obvious that there just aren't enough people interested in this issue to get enough signatures.
Thanks to all of you who signed. I wish we could have done better, but even Mike Huckabee, his family and every member at my church did not feel it a worthy enough cause to sign (or, more likely, they did not find me credible enough to trust signing my petition).
Sorry, guys, I tried to give it to other more credible persons, but they rejected my offer. I wish I could have done more for this cause, but I guess some things are not meant to be or they are not meant to be done by certain people.
According to Amendment 14 of the United States Constitution no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
Question 1: Who is considered a person, within the confines of the US Constitution?
Answer: The answer is based upon the following scientific qualifications:
According to the Merrian-Webster (M-W) Dictionary:
A "person" or "man" is a a bipedal primate mammal (Homo sapien) that is anatomically related to the great apes but distinguished especially by notable development of the brain with a resultant capacity for articulate speech and abstract reasoning, is usually considered to form a variable number of freely interbreeding races, and is the sole living representative of the hominid family.
A "baby" is a "very small child" or "especially, an infant".
It also states that an infant is "a child in the first period of life"
It further states that a child is "an unborn or recently born person"
Question 2: Does a fetus qualify to be a person based upon the definitions stated above?
Answer: Yes
Question 3: When does a person become a person?
Answer: Once it satisfies the qualifications of being a life and a person.
Question 4: Does a fetus qualify to be both of the following at the point of conception:
Part A: a life
and
Part B: a human life:
Answer: Yes, based upon the following scientific facts, a fetus does, indeed, meet the following qualifications:
Part A: M-W defines Life as:
(a) the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body.
(b) a principle force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings
(c) an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction.
Part B: M-W defines a Human Life to be:
Human Life: scientifically defined as anything containing DNA equal to that of a bi-pedal primate (homo sapien) mammal.
Furthermore, from a Christian perspective:
According to the Bible it is clear that a "baby" is considered a small, living "person" or "human" in,
1. Jeremiah 1:5 God said, "...I knew you before you were born..."
2. Luke 1:41 it says, "the baby leaped in her womb".
As we can see both scientifically and religiously, an unborn baby is considered to be a "human", a "baby", and a "person".
It is obvious that from a legal point-of-view, according to the United States Constitution, every "person" is entitled to life, liberty and property. Additionally, from a common sense point-of-view I must ask, were you less you when you were in your mother's womb one day or nine months before your birth than you were a day after your birth? Of course not, so, please take time to sign this petition to ensure that all of the human lives in our nation are protected of that basic right to life.
The right to life of every person is inviolable, and shall be recognized at life’s beginning, which is conception.
The right to life is the most fundamental and paramount right of any person.
With respect to the rudimentary and inalienable rights of all persons guaranteed in the United States Constitution, the word “person”, “man” and "people" applies to all human beings, regardless of age, race, sex, health, function, or condition of dependency, including their unborn children at every state of their biological development.
