The Right Wing's Idea of WHAT a person is

PERSON!




PERSON!




NOT A PERSON!
(This is the ID card of Abeer Qassim Hamza by the way)



Last week we noticed the American Life League’s Katy Walker declaring that "the idea of personhood … is really the only option left" to the anti-choice movement and declaring that she was emboldened to press forward with their agenda because the "personhood" amendment on the ballot in Colorado only managed to lose by a 3 to 1 margin there.

As we noted then, considering that the amendment was trounced throughout the state and even lost badly in Focus on the Family's stronghold in Colorado Springs, then it didn't seem like there was a particularly strong chance that it would do well elsewhere.

But it looks like "personhood" is going to be a central part of ALL's mission going forward, starting with their upcoming conference:

American Life League will feature two of the most innovative new voices in the pro-life movement at their Training and Activism Week and Personhood Conference Jan. 21-23.

"The pro-life movement has always had personhood for the preborn as our ultimate objective and the recent elections have made that an even more urgent objective," Hahnenberg said, "and we're excited to be able to start the year with a conference that will focus on just that."

1. Well finally they're being honest about their true objective.

2. D.H. Hugley hit the nail on the head when he appeared on Bill Maher.
He said that fetuses get all kinds of protection from the powers that be, but once they are born, become people, they're totally on their own...:-(

3. Marvelous post....
that expresses that both Enron and dividing cells are both more to be cherished and protected than living breating citizens. Especially since neither is individually considered as a gain or loss to society-if you are a republican they are each protected as worthy...yet if you breathe, any benefit you receive must be "earned". I might steal this theme later tonight if you don't mind???
