person..is a person.

What do the above all have in common with a human zygote? They are
all the same person in different stages of its life cycle.

That's a very lovely opinion. For you to have.

Actually not an opinion Jim. Its called Biology. Now Im sure that you
have had some contact with that science, even it if was studying the
life cyle of the frog in the 1st grade.

Interestingly that is not how the constitution views the
issue.

The Constitution doesnt address that particular issue, as no one in
those times would consider a baby to be any thing less than human.

Or are you saying that the "people" mentioned so many times in the
Constitution, are not human?

That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's
cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays
there.
